Characterization of ion beam sputter deposited W and Si films and W/Si interfaces by grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity, atomic force microscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry

An ion beam sputtering system, which uses a commercial ECR microwave based plasma ion source, has been designed and fabricated in-house for deposition of soft X-ray multilayer mirrors. To begin with, in the ion beam sputtering system W, Si thin films, W/Si bi-layer and W/Si/W tri-layer samples have been deposited on c-Si substrates as precursors to W/Si multilayer stack. The samples have been characterized by grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity (GIXR), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) techniques. By analyzing the results, density, thickness, surface roughness of the single layer samples and interface width of the bi-layer and tri-layer samples have been estimated.     

CRYSTAL GROWTH OF ISOTACTIC POLYSTYRENE IN ULTRATHIN FILMS: FILM THICKNESS DEPENDENCE

The film thickness dependence of crystal growth is investigated for isotactic polystyrene (it-PS) in thin films for thicknesses from 20 down to 4 nm. The single crystals of it-PS grown at 180°C in the ultrathin films show a morphology typical of diffusion-controlled growth: dense branching morphology and fractal seaweed. The characteristic length of the morphology, i.e., the width of the branch, increases with decreasing film thickness. The thickness dependence of the crystal growth rate shows a crossover around the lamellar thickness of 8 nm. The thickness dependences of the growth rate and morphology are discussed in terms of the diffusion of chain molecules in thin films.     

Comparison of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films deposited on different preferred oriented Mo back contact by RF sputtering from a quaternary target

The Cu(In, Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) thin films were deposited on bare glass and DC sputtered preferential oriented Mo-coated glass by RF sputtering from a single quaternary target. The structural and morphological properties of the films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Preferred orientation of the Mo back contact was tuned between (110) and (211) plane by controlling the thickness. All the deposited CIGS thin films show (112) preferred oriented chalcopyrite structures. The films prepared on Mo-coated glass show higher quality crystallinity, better stoichiometry composition and more smooth surface morphology. Especially, the film on (211) oriented Mo-coated glass with the best integrated performance is expected to be a candidate absorber for high-efficiency CIGS solar cell device.     

FePt nano-stripes fabricated on anodic aluminum oxide templates

A new Fe Pt nanostructure with stripe-like patterns has been prepared by direct current(DC) magnetron sputtering on anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) templates. AAO templates anodized under low voltages(7 V) demonstrate self-organized,maze-like patterns, different from the conventional porous structures obtained at high voltages. Fe Pt thin films deposited on such templates tend to replicate the morphology of the templates. Although there is no obvious spatial ordering, the dimensions of the Fe Pt nano-stripes are highly uniform, due to the constrained growth along the transverse direction of the AAO pattern. The magnetic properties are strongly influenced by this unique morphology. While continuous films demonstrate strong exchange coupling, the dominant interaction in Fe Pt nano-stripes with the same nominal thickness is magnetostatic. The morphology also dictates the magnetization reversal behaviors, with thin films dominated by domain nucleation; while nano-stripes incline to reverse their magnetization by spin rotation. Our work demonstrates that selforganized AAO templates can be used to control the morphology and magnetic behavior of Fe Pt materials.

Investigating the nanostructured gold thin films using the multifractal analysis

The atomic force microscopy images representing the surface morphology of the nanostructured gold thin films of thickness of 20, 50 and 200 nm, respectively, were investigated using the multifractal analysis. The interface width and growth exponent corresponding to films of different thicknesses were estimated. The surfaces having greater roughness give rise to larger nonlinearity and wider width of the multifractal spectrum. The statistical tests confirm that the gold thin film surfaces under investigation are multifractal in nature.
