In the present paper, we investigate the effect of thermal annealing on optical and microstructural properties of HfO2 thin films (from 20 to 190 nm) obtained by plasma ion assisted deposition (PIAD). After deposition, the HfO2 films were annealed in N2 ambient for 3 h at 300, 350, 450, 500 and 750 °C. Several characterisation techniques including X-ray reflectometry (XRR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), UV Raman and FTIR were used for the physical characterisation of the as-deposited and annealed HfO2 thin films. The results indicate that as-deposited PIAD HfO2 films are mainly amorphous and a transition to a crystalline phase occurs at a temperature higher than 450 °C depending on the layer thickness. The crystalline grains consist of cubic and monoclinic phases already classified in literature but this work provides the first evidence of amorphous-cubic phase transition at a temperature as low as 500 °C. According to SE, XRR and FTIR results, an increase in the interfacial layer thickness can be observed only for high temperature annealing. The SE results show that the amorphous phase of HfO2 (in 20 nm thick samples) has an optical bandgap of 5.51 eV. Following its transition to a crystalline phase upon annealing at 750 °C, the optical bandgap increases to 5.85 eV.  相似文献

Structural, optical and electrical properties of CuIn5S8 thin films grown by thermal evaporation have been studied relating the effects of substrate heating conditions of these properties. The CuIn5S8 thin films were carried out at substrate temperatures in the temperature range 100-300 °C. The effects of heated substrate on their physico-chemical properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), optical transmission and hot probe method. X-ray diffraction revealed that the films are strong preferred orientation along the (3 1 1) plane upon substrate temperature 200 °C and amorphous for the substrate temperatures below 200 °C. No secondary phases are observed for all the films. The composition is greatly affected by heated substrate. From the optical transmission and reflection, an important absorption coefficient exceeds 105 cm−1 at 800 nm was found. As increasing the substrate temperature, the optical energy band gap decreases from 1.70 eV for the unheated films to 1.25 eV for the deposited films at 300 °C. It was found that CuIn5S8 thin film is an n-type semiconductor at 250° C.  相似文献

Ba(ZrxTi1−x)O3 (BZT) (x = 0.20 and 0.30) thin films are deposited on Pt(1 1 1)/Ti/SiO2/Si(1 0 0) substrate by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction patterns show that the thin films have a good crystallinity. Optical properties of the films in the wavelength range of 2.5-12 μm are studied by infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry (IRSE). The optical constants of the BZT thin films are determined by fitting the IRSE data using a classical dispersion formula. As the wavelength increases, the refractive index decreases, while the extinction coefficients increase. The effective static ionic charges are derived, which are smaller than that in a purely ionic material for the BZT thin films.  相似文献

Zinc indium selenide (ZnIn2Se4) thin films have been deposited onto amorphous and fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass substrates using a spray pyrolysis technique. Aqueous solution containing precursors of Zn, In, and Se has been used to obtain good quality deposits at different substrate temperatures. The preparative parameters such as substrate temperature and concentration of precursors solution have been optimized by photoelectrochemical technique and are found to be 325 °C and 0.025 M, respectively. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the films are nanocrystalline with rhombohedral crystal structure having lattice parameter a=4.05 Å. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies reveal the compact morphology with large number of single crystals on the surface. From optical absorption data the indirect band gap energy of ZnIn2Se4 thin film is found to be 1.41 eV.  相似文献

Ferroelectric barium strontium titanate (Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3)(BST) thin films have been prepared from barium 2-ethylhexanoate [Ba[CH3(CH2)3CH(C2H5)CO2]2], strontium 2-ethylhexanoate [Sr[CH3(CH2)3CH(C2H5)CO2]2] and titanium(IV) isopropoxide [TiOCH(CH3)2]4 precursors using a modified sol-gel technique. The precursor except [TiOCH(CH3)2]4 were synthesized in the laboratory. Transparent and crack-free films were fabricated on pre-cleaned quartz substrates by spin coating. The structural and optical properties of films annealed at different temperatures have been investigated. The as-fired films were found to be amorphous that crystallized to the tetragonal phase after annealing at 550 °C for 1 h in air. The lattice constants “a” and “c” were found to be 3.974 A and 3.990 A, respectively. The grain sizes of the films annealed at 450, 500 and 550 °C were found to be 30.8, 36.0 and 39.8 nm respectively. The amorphous film showed very high transparency (∼95%), which decreases slightly after crystallization (∼90%). The band gap and refractive index of the amorphous and crystalline films were estimated. The optical dispersion data are also analyzed in the light of the single oscillator model and are discussed.  相似文献

A novel and effective process to fabricate high quality fluoride thin films was presented. Aluminum fluoride films deposited by a conventional thermal evaporation with an ion-assisted deposition (IAD) using SF6 as a working gas at around room temperature were investigated. In this study, the optimal voltage and current, 50 V and 0.25 A, were found according to the optical properties of the films: high refractive index (1.489 at 193 nm), low optical absorption and extinction coefficient (<10−4 at 193 nm) in the UV range. The physical properties of the film are high packing density and amorphous without columnar structure. It was proved that using SF6 working gas in IAD process is a good choice and significantly improves the quality of AlF3 films.  相似文献

High-k HfO2-Al2O3 composite gate dielectric thin films on Si(1 0 0) have been deposited by means of magnetron sputtering. The microstructure and interfacial characteristics of the HfO2-Al2O3 films have been investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). Analysis by XRD has confirmed that an amorphous structure of the HfO2-Al2O3 composite films is maintained up to an annealing temperature of 800 °C, which is much higher than that of pure HfO2 thin films. FTIR characterization indicates that the growth of the interfacial SiO2 layer is effectively suppressed when the annealing temperature is as low as 800 °C, which is also confirmed by spectroscopy ellipsometry measurement. These results clearly show that the crystallization temperature of the nanolaminate HfO2-Al2O3 composite films has been increased compared to pure HfO2 films. Al2O3 as a passivation barrier for HfO2 high-k dielectrics prevents oxygen diffusion and the interfacial layer growth effectively.  相似文献

We have prepared SrTiO3/BaTiO3 thin films with multilayered structures deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass by a sol-gel deposition and heating at 300-650 °C. The optical properties were obtained by UV-vis spectroscopy. The films show a high transmittance (approximately 85%) in the visible region. The optical band gap of the films is tunable in the 3.64-4.19 eV range by varying the annealing temperature. An abrupt decrease towards the bulk band gap value is observed at annealing temperatures above 600 °C. The multilayered film annealed at 650 ° C exhibited the maximum refractive index of 2.09-1.91 in the 450-750 nm wavelength range. The XRD and AFM results indicate that the films annealed above 600 ° C are substantially more crystalline than the films prepared at lower temperatures which were used to change their optical band gap and complex refractive index to an extent that depended on the annealing temperature.  相似文献

Samarium fluoride (SmF3) films have been deposited on quartz, silicon and germanium substrates by vacuum evaporation method. The crystal structure of the films deposited on silicon substrate is examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The films deposited at 100 °C, 150 °C and 250 °C have the (1 1 1) preferred growth orientation, but the film deposited at 200 °C has (3 6 0) growth orientation. The surface morphology evolution of the films with different thickness is investigated with optical microscopy. It is shown that the microcrack density and orientation of thin film is different from that of thick film. The transmission spectrum of SmF3 films is measured from 200 nm to 20 μm. It is found that this material has good transparency from deep violet to far infrared. The optical constants of SmF3 films from 200 nm to 12 μm are calculated by fitting the transmission spectrum of the films using Lorentz oscillator model.  相似文献

Transparent conducting indium oxide (In2O3) thin films have been prepared on glass substrates by the simple sol-gel-spin coating technique. These films have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, resistivity and Hall effect measurements, optical transmission, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy for their structural, electrical, optical and morphological properties. The influence of spin parameters, number of coating, process temperature on the quality of In2O3 films are studied. In the operating range of deposition, 400-475 °C, all the films showed predominant (2 2 2) orientation. Films deposited at optimum process conditions exhibited a resistivity of 2×10−2 Ω cm along with the average transmittance of about 80% in the visible spectral range (400-700 nm).  相似文献

Hafnium nitride (Hf-N) thin films were deposited on fused silica at different N2 flow ratio (N2/N2 + Ar) using a reactive DC magnetron sputtering system. A gradual evolution in the composition of the films from Hf3N2, HfN, to higher nitrides was found through X-ray diffraction (XRD). Films of Hf3N2 and HfN show positive temperature coefficients of resistivity, while higher nitride has a negative one. Highly oriented growth of (0 0 1) Hf3N2 and NaCl-structure (1 0 0) HfN films were fabricated on fused silica substrate at relatively lower temperature of 300 °C. The electrical resistivity values of both as-deposited and post-deposition annealed films were measured by a four-point probe method. The obtained minimum resistivity of as-deposited film is 20 μΩ cm, and this result shows potential application of HfN films as electrode materials in electronic devices.  相似文献

The effect of sputtering anisotropic ejection on the optical properties and internal stress of niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) films prepared by ion-beam sputtering deposition (IBSD) was investigated experimentally. Thin films were deposited on unheated BK7 glass substrates and silicon wafers at different ejection angles surrounding a metal target. The ejection angles varied from 0° to 75° in increments of 15° for each substrate. It was found that the optical constants of the Nb2O5 films were significantly influenced by the sputtering ejection angle. The surface roughness and residual stress in the Nb2O5 thin films were also found to vary with the ejection angle. In this work, Nb2O5 films had a higher refractive index, lower absorption, lower stress and lower roughness when films deposited at an ejection angle of 30°.  相似文献

CuIn3S5 thin films were prepared from powder by thermal evaporation under vacuum (10−6 mbar) onto glass substrates. The glass substrates were heated from 30 to 200 °C. The films were characterized for their optical properties using optical measurement techniques (transmittance and reflectance). We have determined the energy and nature of the optical transitions of films. The optical constants of the deposited films were determined in the spectral range 300-1800 nm from the analysis of transmission and reflection data. The Swanepoel envelope method was employed on the interference fringes of transmittance patterns for the determination of variation of refractive index with wavelength. Wemple-Di Domenico single oscillator model was applied to determine the optical constants such as oscillator energy E0 and dispersion energy Ed of the films deposited at different substrate temperatures. The electric free carrier susceptibility and the ratio of the carrier concentration to the effective mass were estimated according to the model of Spitzer and Fan.  相似文献

In2S3 thin films were grown on glass substrates by means of the vacuum thermal evaporation technique and subsequently thermally annealed in nitrogen and free air atmosphere from 250 to 350 °C for different durations. Experimental parameters have been adjusted in order to optimize the annealing conditions, and to obtain high band gap energy at low deposition temperature, as required for photovoltaic applications. In order to improve our understanding of the influence of the deposition and annealing parameters on device performance, we have investigated our indium sulfide material by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and spectrophotometry. The optical and structural properties of the films were studied as a function of the annealing temperature and durations. X-ray diffraction analysis shows the initial amorphous nature of deposited In-S thin films and the phase transition into crystalline In2S3 upon thermal annealing. Films show a good homogeneity and optical direct band gap energy about 2.2 eV. An annealing temperature of 350 °C during 60 min in air atmosphere were the optimal conditions.  相似文献

Be3N2 thin films have been grown on Si(1 1 1) substrates using the pulsed laser deposition method at different substrate temperatures: room temperature (RT), 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C and 700 °C. Additionally, two samples were deposited at RT and were annealed after deposition in situ at 600 °C and 700 °C. In order to obtain the stoichiometry of the samples, they have been characterized in situ by X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS). The influence of the substrate temperature on the morphological and structural properties of the films was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that all prepared films presented the Be3N2 stoichiometry. Formation of whiskers with diameters of 100-200 nm appears at the surface of the films prepared with a substrate temperature of 600 °C or 700 °C. However, the samples grown at RT and annealed at 600 °C or 700 °C do not show whiskers on the surface. The average root mean square (RMS) roughness and the average grain size of the samples grown with respect the substrate temperature is presented. The films grown with a substrate temperature between the room temperature to 400 °C, and the sample annealed in situ at 600 °C were amorphous; while the αBe3N2 phase was presented on the samples with a substrate temperature of 600 °C, 700 °C and that deposited with the substrate at RT and annealed in situ at 700 °C.  相似文献

The Bi2O3-ZnO-Nb2O5 (BZN) cubic pyrochlore thin films were prepared on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si(1 0 0) substrates by using pulsed laser deposition process. The oxygen pressure was varied in the range of 5-50 Pa to investigate its effect on the structure and dielectric properties of BZN thin films. It is found that oxygen pressure during deposition plays an important role on structure and other properties of BZN films. The BZN films deposited at temperature of 650 °C and at O2 pressure of 5 Pa have an amorphous BZN and Nb2O5 phases but exhibits a cubic pyrochlore structure with a preferential (2 2 2) orientation when the oxygen pressure increases to 10 Pa. Dielectric constant and loss tangent of the films deposited at 10 Pa are 185 and 0.0008 at 10 kHz, respectively. The dielectric tunability is about 10% at a dc bias field of 0.9 MV/cm.  相似文献

Nearly stoichiometric thin films of In49Se48Sn3 were deposited at room temperature, by conventional thermal evaporation of the presynthesized materials, onto precleaned glass substrates. The microstructural studies on the as-deposited and annealed films, using transmission electron microscopy and diffraction (TEMD), revealed that the as-deposited films are amorphous in nature, while those annealed at 498 K are crystalline. The optical properties of the investigated films were determined from the transmittance and reflectance data, in the spectral range 650-2500 nm. An analysis of the optical absorption spectra revealed a non-direct energy gap characterizing the amorphous films, while both allowed and forbidden direct energy gaps characterized the crystalline films. The electrical resistance of the deposited films was carried out during heating and cooling cycles in the temperature range 300-600 K. The results show an irreproducible behavior, while after crystallization the results become reproducible. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the resistance (ln(R) vs. 1000/T) for crystalline films shows two straight lines corresponding to both extrinsic and intrinsic conduction. The room temperature I-V characteristics of the as-deposited films sandwiched between similar Ag metal electrodes shows an ohmic behavior, while non-ohmic behavior attributed to space charge limited conduction has been observed when the films are sandwiched between dissimilar Ag/Al metal electrodes.  相似文献

Nanostructured bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by the sol-gel process. The as-fired film at 250 °C was found to be amorphous crystallizing to pure rhombohedral phase after annealing at 450 °C for 2 h in air. The XRD pattern shows that the sample is polycrystalline in nature. The average grain size of the film calculated from the XRD data was found to be 16 nm. The as-fired film show high transmittance that decreases after crystallization. The absorption edge of the films was found to be sharper and shifting towards the lower energy as the annealing temperature increases. The optical energy band gaps of the amorphous and crystalline films were found to be 2.63 and 2.31 eV, respectively. The refractive indices of the amorphous and crystalline films were 2.05 and 2.26, respectively.  相似文献

Pb1−XLaXTiO3 thin films, (X=0.0; 13 and 0.27 mol%) were prepared by the polymeric precursor method. Thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (1 1 1), Si (1 0 0) and glass substrates by spin coating, and annealed in the 200-300°C range in an O2 atmosphere. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used for the microstructural characterization of the thin films. Photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature has been observed in thin films of (PbLa)TiO3. The films deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates present PL intensity greater than those deposited on glass and silicon substrates. The intensity of PL in these thin films was found to be dependent on the thermal treatment and lanthanum molar concentration.  相似文献

We report the laser-induced voltage (LIV) effects in c-axis oriented Bi2Sr2Co2Oy thin films grown on (0 0 1) LaAlO3 substrates with the title angle α of 0°, 3°, 5° and 10° by a simple chemical solution deposition method. A large open-circuit voltage with the sensitivity of 300 mV/mJ is observed for the film on 10° tilting LaAlO3 under a 308 nm irradiation with the pulse duration of 25 ns. When the film surface is irradiated by a 355 nm pulsed laser of 25 ps duration, a fast response with the rise time of 700 ps and the full width at half maximum of 1.5 ns is achieved. In addition, the experimental results reveal that the amplitude of the voltage signal is approximately proportional to sin 2α and the signal polarity is reversed when the film is irradiated from the substrate side rather than the film side, which suggests the LIV effects in Bi2Sr2Co2Oy thin films originate from the anisotropic Seebeck coefficient of this material.  相似文献
