HfO2顶层多层介质膜脉宽压缩光栅的Piranha溶液清洗

为了提高HfO2顶层多层介质膜脉宽压缩光栅（PCG）的抗激光损伤性能,使用Piranha溶液（浓硫酸和双氧水的混合液）清洗PCG去除其制作工艺和使用过程中残留在表面的污染物,包括CHF3作为工作气体对HfO2进行反应离子束刻蚀生成的碳氟化合物及金属氟化物。对Piranha溶液的清洗温度、组成成分、清洗时间、清洗遍数等参数进行了系统研究,用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）观察清洗前后的PCG表面形貌,用X射线光电子能谱仪（XPS）检测清洗前后PCG表面的元素成分及其原子分数的变化,并分析了各残留污染物的去除机理。实验结果表明：Piranha溶液能有效去除PCG表面污染物,而且清洗温度越高,清洗遍数越多,对PCG表面残留污染物的去除效果越显著。在90 ℃下60 min有效活性时间内,使用浓硫酸和双氧水体积比为2∶1的Piranha溶液清洗3遍以上,PCG表面残留的F元素的原子分数接近0.1%（XPS的分辨极限）,达到良好的清洗效果。     

退火对EBE,IBS和ALD沉积HfO2薄膜的抗激光损伤性能影响

结合自身实验条件采用电子束蒸发(EBE)、离子束溅射(IBS)和原子层沉积(ALD)三种工艺制备了HfO2薄膜,对其进行退火实验,采用1064 nm Nd:YAG激光测定了即时沉积和退火后各HfO2薄膜的抗激光损伤能力。研究发现,ALD HfO2薄膜的激光损伤阈值最高,EBE HfO2薄膜次之,IBS HfO2薄膜的损伤阈值最低;300℃退火对各工艺薄膜抗激光损伤能力的影响均为负面,500℃退火则会显著降低ALD HfO2薄膜的抗激光损伤能力。     

HfO2中ZrO2含量对266nm HfO2/SiO2多层膜反射率的影响

用两种不同纯度的HfO2材料与同一纯度的SiO2材料组合,沉积Λ／4规整膜系(HL)^11H形成266nm的紫外反射镜,发现反射率相差0．7％左右。用X光电子能谱法分析了高反膜中表层HfO2中的成分,发现ZrO2的含量相差一个数量级左右。为确定形成这种差别的原因,用辉光放电质谱法测定了这两种HfO2材料中锆(Zr)及其钛(Ti)、铁(Fe)的含量,发现Zr是其中的最主要的杂质,两种HfO2材料中Zr含量有一个数量级的差别。说明在266nm波段,HfO2中ZrO2的含量会对HfO2／SiO2高反膜的反射率造成影响。根据HfO2单层膜的光谱曲线,推算出了这两种材料的消光系数的差别,并用Tfcalc膜系设计软件进行理论和镀制结果的模拟,得到与实验测试一致的结果。

Influence of different oxidants on the band alignment of HfO₂ films deposited by atomic layer deposition

Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),influences of different oxidants on band alignment of HfO2 films deposited by atomic layer deposition(ALD) are investigated in this paper.The measured valence band offset(VBO) value for H2 O-based HfO2 increases from 3.17 eV to 3.32 eV after annealing,whereas the VBO value for O 3-based HfO2 decreases from 3.57 eV to 3.46 eV.The research results indicate that the silicate layer changes in different ways for H2 O-based and O3-based HfO2 films after the annealing process,which plays a key role in generating the internal electric field formed by the dipoles.The variations of the dipoles at the interface between the HfO2 and SiO2 after annealing may lead the VBO values of H2 O-based and O 3-based HfO2 to vary in different ways,which fits with the variation of flat band(VFB) voltage.     

单斜相HfO2薄膜弹性常数的第一性原理计算

用电子束蒸发沉积在K9玻璃基底上镀制HfO2薄膜,沉积温度为200℃,蒸发速率为0.03nm/s。由X射线衍射谱可知薄膜出现明显结晶,且为单斜相和正交相混合结构,其中单斜相占明显优势。用Jade5软件分析得到单斜相HfO2的晶格常数a,b,c以及晶格矢量a和c之间的夹角β。基于得到的晶格常数建立了单斜相HfO2薄膜的晶体结构模型。同时建立固态单斜相HfO2的晶体结构模型进行对比。通过密度泛函理论(DFT)框架下的平面超软赝势法,采用两种不同的交换关联函数:局域密度近似(LDA)中的CA-PZ和广义梯度近似(GGA)中的质子平衡方程(PBE),计算了薄膜态和固态单斜晶相HfO2的弹性刚度系数矩阵Cij和弹性柔度系数矩阵Sij,Reuss模型、Voigt模型和Hill理论下的体积模量和剪切模量,材料平均杨氏模量和泊松比。此外还计算得到薄膜态和固态单斜晶相HfO2在不同方向上的杨氏模量。     

Effects of different dopants on switching behavior of HfO_2-based resistive random access memory

In this study the effects of doping atoms(Al, Cu, and N) with different electro-negativities and ionic radii on resistive switching of HfO2-based resistive random access memory(RRAM) are systematically investigated. The results show that forming voltages and set voltages of Al/Cu-doped devices are reduced. Among all devices, Cu-doped device shows the narrowest device-to-device distributions of set voltage and low resistance. The effects of different dopants on switching behavior are explained with deferent types of CFs formed in HfO2 depending on dopants: oxygen vacancy(Vo) filaments for Al-doped HfO2 devices, hybrid filaments composed of oxygen vacancies and Cu atoms for Cu-doped HfO2 devices,and nitrogen/oxygen vacancy filaments for N-doped HfO2 devices. The results suggest that a metal dopant with a larger electro-negativity than host metal atom offers the best comprehensive performance.     

电子束蒸发和离子束溅射HfO_2紫外光学薄膜

HfO2薄膜在紫外光学中具有十分重要的地位,不同方法制备的HfO2薄膜特性不同,可以满足不同的实际应用需求。本文分别利用电子束蒸发和离子束溅射方法制备了用于紫外光区域的HfO2薄膜,并对薄膜的材料和光学特性进行了表征与比较。通过对单层HfO2薄膜的实测透射和反射光谱进行数值反演,得到了HfO2薄膜在230～800 nm波段的折射率和消光系数色散曲线,结果表明两种方法制备的HfO2薄膜在250nm的消光系数均小于2×10-3。在此基础上,制备了两种典型的紫外光学薄膜元件(紫外低通滤波器和240nm高反射镜),其光谱性能测试结果表明,两种不同方法制备的器件均具有较好的光学特性。     

Evidence of GeO volatilization and its effect on the characteristics of HfO2 grown on a Ge substrate

HfO2 films are deposited by atomic layer deposition(ALD) using tetrakis ethylmethylamino hafnium(TEMAH) as the hafnium precursor,while O3 or H2O is used as the oxygen precursor.After annealing at 500℃ in nitrogen,the thickness of Ge oxide's interfacial layer decreases,and the presence of GeO is observed at the H2 O-based HfO2 interface due to GeO volatilization,while it is not observed for the O3-based HfO2.The difference is attributed to the residue hydroxyl groups or H2 O molecules in H2 O-based HfO2 hydrolyzing GeO2 and forming GeO,whereas GeO is only formed by the typical reaction mechanism between GeO2 and the Ge substrate for O3-based HfO2 after annealing.The volatilization of GeO deteriorates the characteristics of the high-κ films after annealing,which has effects on the variation of valence band offset and the C-V characteristics of HfO2 /Ge after annealing.The results are confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and electrical measurements.     

用1064nm激光增强HfO2/SiO2薄膜的抗激光损伤能力的实验研究

 用1 064nm激光实验研究了HfO₂/SiO₂薄膜的激光损伤增强效应，实验以薄膜激光损伤阈值70%的激光能量开始，采用N-ON-1方式处理薄膜，激光脉冲的能量增量为5J/cm²。实验结果表明，激光处理薄膜表面能使激光损伤阈值平均提高到3倍左右，并且薄膜的损伤尺度也明显减小。对有缺陷的薄膜，其缺陷经低能量激光后熔和消除，其抗激光损伤能力得到增强，但增强得并不显著，而薄膜本身的激光预处理，可以使其激光损伤阈值大大提高。

Influence of purity of HfO2 on reflectance of ultraviolet multilayer

The impurities in two kinds of HfO2 materials and in their corresponding single layer thin films were determined through glow discharge mass spectrum technology and secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS) equipment respectively.It was found that ZrO2 was the main impurity in the two kinds of HfO2 either in the original HfO2 materials or in the electron beam deposited films.In addition,the difference of Zr content in the two kinds of HfO2 single laver films was much laxger than that of the other impurities such as Ti and Fe.which showed that it was just ZrO2 that made the difference between the optical performance of the film products including the two kinds of HfO2.With these two kinds of HfO2 and the same kind of SiO2.we deposited HfO2/SiO2 multilayer reflective coatings at the wavelength of 266 nm.Experimental results showed that the reflectances of these two mirrors were about 99.85% and 99.15% respectively,which agreed well with the designed results what were based on the optical constants obtained from the corresponding single layer thin films.

Enhanced laser induced damage threshold of dielectric antireflection coatings by the introduction of one interfacial layer

A new method for increasing laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of dielectric antireflection (AR) coating is proposed. Compared with AR film stack of H2.5L (H:HfO2, L:SiO2) on BK7 substrate, SiO2 interfacial layer with four quarter wavelength optical thickness (QWOT) is deposited on the substrate before the preparation of H2.5L film. It is found that the introduction of SiO2 interfacial layer with a certain thickness is effective and flexible to increase the LIDT of dielectric AR coatings. The measured LIDT is enhanced by about 50%, while remaining the low reflectivity with less than 0.09% at the center wavelength of 1064 nm. Detailed mechanisms of the LIDT enhancement are discussed.
