Fabrication and characterization of La-doped HfO2 gate dielectrics by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

La-doped HfO₂ gate dielectric thin films have been deposited on Si substrates using La(acac)₃ and Hf(acac)₄ (acac = 2,4-pentanedionate) mixing sources by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The structure, thermal stability, and electrical properties of La-doped HfO₂ films have been investigated. Inductive coupled plasma analyses confirm that the La content ranging from 1 to 5 mol% is involved in the films. The films show smaller roughness of ∼0.5 nm and improved thermal stability up to 750 °C. The La-doped HfO₂ films on Pt-coated Si and fused quartz substrates have an intrinsic dielectric constant of ∼28 at 1 MHz and a band gap of 5.6 eV, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses reveal that the interfacial layer is Hf-based silicate. The reliable value of equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) around 1.2 nm has been obtained, but with a large leakage current density of 3 A/cm² at V_g = 1V + V_fb. MOCVD-derived La-doped HfO₂ is demonstrated to be a potential high-k gate dielectric film for next generation metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor applications.     

Preparation of photocatalytic Fe2O3-TiO2 coatings in one step by metal organic chemical vapor deposition

There are two major difficulties in the TiO₂ liquid-solid photocatalytic system: effective immobilization of the TiO₂ particles; and improving the catalytic activity under visible light. To simultaneously solve these two problems, Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ coatings supported on activated carbon fiber (ACF), have been prepared in one step by a convenient and efficient method—metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). XRD results revealed that Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ coatings mainly composed of anatase TiO₂, α-Fe₂O₃ phases and little Fe₂Ti₃O₉. The pore structure of ACF was preserved well after loading with Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ coatings. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra showed a slight shift to longer wavelengths and an enhancement of the absorption in the visible region for Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ coatings, compared to the pure TiO₂ sample. A moderate Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ loading (13.7 wt%) was beneficial to mineralizing wastewater because the intermediates could be adsorbed onto the surface of photocatalyst following decomposition. The stable performance revealed that the Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ coatings were strongly adhered to the ACF surface, and the as prepared catalysts could be reused showing potential application for wastewater treatment.

Synthesis of beta-gallium oxide nanobelts through microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition

Beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃) nanobelts were synthesized through microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) of liquid-phase gallium containing H₂O in Ar atmosphere using silicon as the substrate. Unlike the common microwave plasma method, the H₂O, not mixture of the gas, was employed to synthesize the nanostructures. β-Ga₂O₃ nanobelts prepared by MPCVD have not been reported. The thickness of β-Ga₂O₃ nonobelts was 20–30 nm and length of them was tens to hundreds of microns. The morphology and structure of the products were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Possible growth mechanisms of the β-Ga₂O₃ nanobelts are briefly discussed.

Detection limits of high temperature superconducting materials on various substrates by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and proton induced X-ray emission methods

Application of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) methods has been demonstrated for determining the elemental composition of thin film superconducting materials. The results of analysis carried out by EDXRF method have been compared with those obtained by PIXE method. Thin films of YBa₂Cu₃O₇ superconducting material were deposited on various substrates such as thin mylar sheet and thick substrates of SrTiO₃, MgO and Al₂O₃. In thin backing the minimum detection limits obtained for Cu, Y, Ba by the PIXE method are 20 ng, 70 ng and 800 ng respectively and the corresponding values by the EDXRF method are 3000 ng, 600 ng and 1000 ng. Detection limits for samples on thick backings deteriorated to a large extent by both methods.

Effects of different deposition conditions on the properties of Cu2S thin films

Cu₂S thin films deposited on glass substrate by chemical bath deposition were studied at different deposition temperatures and times. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), the Hall Effect measurement system and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy indicate that both deposition temperature and time are important to obtain polycrystalline thin films. XRD showed that the polycrystalline Cu₂S thin films have monoclinic structure. Meanwhile, the structural variations were analyzed using SEM. EDX analysis results of the thin film showed that the atomic ratio of Cu/S was close to 2:1. It was found from the Hall Effect measurement that the resistivity varied from 4.59?×?10^?3 to 13.8?×?10^?3 (Ω?cm). The mobility values of the Cu₂S thin films having p-type conductivity varied from 15.16 to 134.6?cm²/V.s. The dark electrical resistivity measurements were studied at temperatures in the range 303–423?K. The electrical activation energies of Cu₂S thin films were calculated by using Arrhenius plots, from which two different activation energy values are estimated for each thin film. Using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy (Ultraviolet/visible), the direct and indirect allowed optical band gap values were determined to lie between 2.16 and 2.37?eV and 1.79 and 1.99?eV, respectively. In addition, the values of the refractive index (n) and the extinction coefficient (k) were determined.

Magnetic field annealing effects on self-oriented BiFeO3 thin films prepared by chemical solution deposition

Self-oriented BiFeO₃ (BFO) thin films are prepared via chemical solution deposition method with magnetic field in-situ annealing process. The effects of magnetic annealing on the microstructure, magnetic and dielectric properties as well as magnetoelectric coupling effect of the BFO thin films are investigated. With increasing the annealing magnetic field, the crystallization quality, texture, grain boundary connectivity and densification of the films are enhanced, which is attributed to the improvement of connection and diffusion of components. The magnetization of the field-annealing films and dielectric constant as well as remanent polarization increases with increasing the strength of annealing magnetic field. In addition, it is observed that magnetocapacitance value of the magnetic-field-annealing BFO thin film is higher than the non-field-annealing one. Moreover the BFO thin films annealed at 3 kOe magnetic field show the magnetoelectric effect with 4% under 2 kOe at room temperature.     

Annealing effects on the properties of Ga2O3 thin films grown on sapphire by the metal organic chemical vapor deposition

We have prepared the gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) thin films on sapphire substrates by the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique. We have compared the two films with and without the thermal annealing by using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Postdeposition annealing of amorphous Ga₂O₃ films was found to increase the degree of crystallization and the surface roughness. The PL emission intensities of bands in the blue–green and the ultraviolet regions increased by the thermal annealing.     

Low-temperature growth of ZnO epitaxial films by metal organic chemical vapor deposition

ZnO films were grown on Al₂O₃ (0001) substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition at temperatures of T_g=150300 °C. Epitaxial growth was obtained for T_g200 °C. The in-plane orientation of the ZnO unit cells was found to change from a no-twist one with respect to that of the substrate at T_g=200 °C to a 30°-twist one at T_g=300 °C. Absorption and photoluminescence were observed from the film grown at 150 °C, although there was no evidence of epitaxial growth. Films grown at T_g200 °C exhibited smoother surfaces. Moreover, all the films grown at T_g=150300 °C revealed acceptor-related emission peaks, indicating the incorporation of acceptors into the films. PACS 81.15.Gh; 78.55.Et; 78.66.Hf     

Nanodots and microwires of ZrO_2 grown on LaAlO_3 by photo-assisted metal–organic chemical vapor deposition

ZrO_2 nanodots are successfully prepared on LaAlO_3(LAO)(100) substrates by photo-assisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). It is indicated that the sizes and densities of ZrO_2 nanodots are controllable by modulating the growth temperature, oxygen partial pressure, and growth time. Meanwhile, the microwires are observed on the surfaces of substrates. It is found that there is an obvious competitive relationship between the nanodots and the microwires. In a growth temperature range from 500℃ to 660℃, the microwires turn longest and widest at 600℃, but in contrast, the nanodots grow into the smallest diameter at 600℃. This phenomenon could be illustrated by the energy barrier, decomposition rate of Zr(tmhd)_4, and mobility of atoms. In addition, growth time or oxygen partial pressure also affects the competitive relationship between the nanodots and the microwires. With increasing oxygen partial pressure from 451 Pa to 75_2 Pa,the microwires gradually grow larger while the nanodots become smaller. To further achieve the controllable growth, the coarsening effect of ZrO_2 is modified by varying the growth time, and the experimental results show that the coarsening effect of microwires is higher than that of nanodots by increasing the growth time to quickly minimize ZrO_2 energy density.
