The behaviour of Xe implanted at the Ni-Si interface and irradiated with Nd-laser pulses is studied in details and compared with Xe implantation into NiSi2 and into pure Si. Ion beam mixing followed by laser irradiation is able to form good quality epitaxial NiSi2 layer on Si.An inward segregation of Xe is observed with retention of Xe at a depth of 30 nm inside pure silicon. Implantation of Xe into NiSi2 or pure Si causes broadening and loss of Xe, as generally observed for implantation into pure materials. The different behaviour of Xe at the Si/NiSi2 interface must thus be ascribed to peculiar characteristics of the interface itself.  相似文献

As metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) devices are shrunk to the nanometer scale, flat shallow metal/Si electrical contacts must be formed in the source/drain region. This work demonstrates a method for the formation of epitaxial NiSi2 layers by a solid-phase reaction in Ni-P(8 nm)/Si(1 0 0) samples. The results show that the sheet resistance remained low when the samples were annealed at temperatures from 400 to 700 °C. P atoms can be regarded as diffusion barriers against the supply of Ni to the Si substrate, which caused the formation of Si-rich silicide (NiSi2) at low temperature. Furthermore, elemental P formed a stable capping layer with O, Ni and Si during the annealing process. A uniform NiSi2 layer with an atomically flat interface was formed by annealing at 700 °C because of the formation of a Si-Ni-P-O capping layer and a reduction in the total interface area.  相似文献

Silicide formation induced by thermal annealing in Ni/Si thin film system has been investigated using glancing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Silicide formation takes place at 870 K with Ni2Si, NiSi and NiSi2 phases co-existing with Ni. Complete conversion of intermediate silicide phases to the final NiSi2 phase takes place at 1170 K. Atomic force microscopy measurements have revealed the coalescence of pillar-like structures to ridge-like structures upon silicidation. A comparison of the experimental results in terms of the evolution of various silicide phases is presented.  相似文献

The refraction angles θ d of electron beams passing through aluminum and thin flat copper foils and reflection angles θ r are measured. A microtron with 7.4 MeV particles is used as a source of electrons. The angle between the particle trajectory and the target surface α is varied in the range 5°–30°. The dependences of the refraction and reflection angles on the α angle and foil thickness δ are measured. A dosimetric film is used to make pictures of cross sections of the electron beam scattered by a thin 50 μm copper foil. Image processing allows the spatial distributions of refracted and reflected particles to be obtained. The processes of relativistic electron scattering at a small angle of incidence on a flat target are simulated by the Monte Carlo method. The results of simulation are compared with experimental data. Particle scattering at a bimetallic target consisting of 200-μm aluminum and 70-μm lead layers are simulated. A dependence of the spatial-energy distributions on the order of metal layers placed along electron trajectories is found.  相似文献

Angle-dependent internal reflection spectroscopy is performed in the attenuated total reflection setup for an electrochemical cell with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The working electrode is a thin Pt film evaporated onto a hemispherical Si prism. The refractive index of the Pt film obtained from the experiment is found to differ from the value for bulk material. The difference is ascribed to the surface corrugation of the Pt surface and the film thickness in the nanometer range. The function of reflection intensity versus angle of incidence changes significantly when a resonant absorption occurs in the electrolyte medium. The angle-dependent absorption band intensity of CO adsorbed on the Pt film under potential control reveals changes in magnitude and an inversion of the band for different angles of incidence. This behaviour is explained by the excitation of resonant surface plasmon waves at the Pt/electrolyte interface and by multiple reflections occurring at the interfaces. A simulation for the three-layer system Si/Pt/electrolyte agrees with the experimental results.  相似文献

SiO2 surface films with different thicknesses (ranging from 20 to 630 Å), grown on a crystal silicon substrate, have been investigated by the method of reflection and scattering of ultrashoft X-rays. It is shown on the basis of a simultaneous analysis of the SiL 2, 3 reflection spectra and the scattering indicatrix that the critical angle θc for total external reflection for SiO2 at λ = 57 Å lies in the range 4.5 °–°. The angular dependence of the thickness of the surface layer that forms the specular reflection is obtained. It is shown that the surface layer, whose thickness corresponds to the penetration depth of the radiation into the material with glancing angle close to the critical value θc, plays a large role in the formation of the anomalous scattering peak (Yoneda peak).  相似文献

The tunneling of electrons through Au nanoc lusters formed by pulsed laser deposition in a SiO2 thin film on a Si substrate has been investigated by combined scanning/atomic force microscopy (STM/AFM). Conducting Pt-coated Si cantilevers were used. The feedback was maintained via the AFM channel, and the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the tunnel contact between the AFM probe and the n +-Si substrate through a =4-nm-thick SiO2 film with Au nanoclusters =2 nm in diameter were measured simultaneously. The current image of the structure contained areas of increased current (tunnel-current channels) 2–15 nm in size, related to tunneling of electrons through Au nanoclusters in SiO2. The I-V characteristics recorded in the tunnel-current channels exhibit specific features related to the Coulomb blockade of electron tunneling through Au nanoclusters.  相似文献

The refraction of light, i.e., the turn of an extraordinary ray in the liquid crystal layer similar to total internal reflection at an interface between two media, has been studied in a cell with the homeoplanar orientation of the director. The rise, τon, and decay, τoff, times of optical responses have been obtained for various angles of incidence of light on a liquid crystal layer subjected to an electric field. The times τon and τoff of optical responses for the angles of incidence much larger than the angle of total internal reflection are 1–2 ms, which is three orders of magnitude smaller than the relaxation time of an optical response in the case of normal incidence of the ray.  相似文献

Nickel di-silicide formation induced by RTA process at 850 °C for 60 s in the Ni/Si(1 0 0) systems are investigated as a function of the initial Ni film thickness of 7-89 nm using XRD, RBS, SEM, X-SEM and AFM. Based on the XRD and RBS data, in the silicide films of 400-105 nm, NiSi and NiSi2 silicide phases co-exist, indicating that Ni overlayer is completely transformed to NiSi and NiSi2 silicide phases. SEM reveals that these films consist of large grains for co-existence of NiSi2 and NiSi phases, separated from one another by holes, reflecting that NiSi2 grows as islands in NiSi matrix. These films have low sheet resistance, ranging from 1.89 to 5.44 Ω/□ and good thermal stability. For thicknesses ≤ 80 nm RBS yields more Si-rich silicide phases compared to thicker films, whereas SEM reveals that Si-enriched silicide islands with visible holes grow in Si matrix. As the film thickness decreases from 400 to 35 nm, AFM reveals a ridge-like structure showing a general trend of decreasing average diameter and mean roughness values, while sheet resistance measurements exhibit a dramatic increase ranging from 1.89 to 53.73 Ω/□. This dramatic sheet resistance increase is generated by substantial grain boundary grooving, followed by island formation, resulting in a significant phase transformation from NiSi2-rich to Si-rich silicide phases.  相似文献

The electronic structure of volume and film iron disilicides with crystal structure of the type of α leboit and fluorite was calculated using the linearized augmented plane-wave formalism. Joint and local partial densities of electronic states, x-ray emission spectra in different series of all inequivalent atoms of these phases, and photoelectron spectra for different excitation energies were obtained. γ-FeSi2 was found to be, unlike α-FeSi2, an unstable phase in both the volume and film realizations. X-ray L 2,3 emission spectra of silicon in the iron group disilicides NiSi2, CoSi2, and FeSi2 were compared. NiSi2, CoSi2, and α-FeSi2 exhibit transformation of the maximum in the near-Fermi region of the Si L 2,3 spectra as one crosses over from a bulk to a film sample. This transformation is closely connected with phase stability and may serve as a criterion of thermodynamic stability of the iron-group transition-metal disilicides.  相似文献

XANES L 2,3 spectra and the reflection spectra of silicon, obtained in the case of the grazing incidence of radiation onto channel walls of microchannel plates, are studied. The channeling of secondary long-wavelength X-ray radiation was observed due to anomalous scattering in the vicinity of L edges of silicon absorption. The spectral composition of the secondary radiation at the microchannel output remains unchanged. The surfacebound propagation of X-ray fluorescence excited inside microchannels is observed for angles of incidence of less than θ ≈ θc/2.  相似文献

The oxidation of SiGe film epitaxial grown on top of SOI wafers has been studied. These SiGe/SOI samples were oxidized at 700, 900, 1100 °C. Germanium atoms were rejected from SiGe film to SOI layer. A new Si1−xGex (x is minimal) layer formed at SiGe/Si interface. As the germanium atoms diffused, the new Si1−xGex (x is minimal) layer moved to Si/SiO2 interface. Propagation of threading dislocation in SiGe film to SOI substrate was hindered by the new SiGe/Si interface. Strain in SOI substrate transferred from SiGe film was released through dislocation nucleation and propagation inner. The relaxation of SiGe film could be described as: strain relaxed through strain equalization and transfer process between SiGe film and SOI substrates. Raman spectroscopy was used to characterize the strain of SiGe film. Microstructure of SiGe/SOI was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM).  相似文献

Photographs of cross sections of an electron beam backscattered from a thin tungsten target have been obtained on a dosimetric film. The procession of images makes it possible to obtain the spatial distribution of backscattered particles. The angles of back reflection θbr of electron beams from foils have been measured. A 7.4-MeV microtron has been used as a source of electrons. The experiments have been performed with a tungsten foil 386 mg/cm2 (200 μm) thick and a tantalum foil 1328 mg/cm2 (800 μm) thick. Particles have been injected at an angle of α = 10° to the foil surface. The Monte Carlo simulation of the scattering of relativistic electrons incident on a planar target at small angles to its surface has been performed. The spatial and energy distributions of backscattered particle fluxes both transmitted through the target and reflected from it have been calculated. The dependences of fluxes on the direction of injection of particles and on the material and thickness of the target have been considered.  相似文献

A thin iron film deposited at the rate of 103 nm/sec on the Si(001) surface and a sandwich structure silicon/iron/Si(111) are studied by Surface Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect, High Resolution Electron Microscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Microscopy methods. The phases present in the structures are identified. Both structures are non-uniform. The ultra-fast-deposited film is magnetically hard (H c=45 Oe), it contains the silicide Fe5Si3. The XPS line shift by +0.55 eV with respect to the pure iron 2p 3/2 level is attributed to Fe5Si3. The cross-section image of the sandwich structure shows the presence of enhanced-intermixing channels crossing the Si-rich layer. Iron atoms are the main diffusion species both at the Fe/Si(111) and Si/Fe interfaces. The nature of the volume defect and internal stresses in the transforming iron silicides and their effects on material intermixing and film growth process are discussed.  相似文献

A model for determining the critical thickness of a film h c is developed to introduce misfit dislocations in the slip planes of a film and a substrate parallel to the interphase boundary (111). Experimental values h c that agree with calculated values are determined for the Ge/Si(111) and Si3N4/Ge(111) heterosystems. The two-level epitaxial growth of Ge on Si is attained in the regime of combining the step-layer and 2D island growth mechanisms.  相似文献

A spectroscopic prism coupler is created for measuring refractive indices nf and thicknesses Hf of dielectric films. The operating principle of the device is based on the simultaneous resonance excitation of several waveguide modes in a film by a focused TE or TM polarized light beam in the geometry of frustrated total internal reflection. Calculations of nf and Hf are performed using measured angular positions θm of dark m-lines in the cross section of the specularly reflected beam. Using obtained angles θm, we can calculate effective refractive indices βm of modes. By solving a set of nonlinear dispersion equations for the modes of a planar waveguide, we can calculate refractive index nf and thickness Hf of a film. The proposed prism coupler has no moving parts and allows us to measure the optical parameters of films 0.5–10 μm thick in the 400–1100 nm range of wavelengths. The device can also be used as a spectroscopic refractometer for measuring the refractive indices of bulk media. The device is used to measure refractive index and thickness of a SiO film and the refractive index of TF4 glass.  相似文献

A new method is proposed to modify the Schottky barrier height (SBH) for nickel silicide/Si contact. Chemical and electrical properties for NiSi2/Si interface with titanium, scandium and vanadium incorporation are investigated by first-principles calculations. The metal/semiconductor interface states within the gap region are greatly decreased, which is related to the diminutions of junction leakage when Ti-cap is experimentally used in nickel silicide/Si contact process. It leads to an unpinning metal/semiconductor interface. The SBH obeys the Schottky-Mort theory. Compared to Ti substitution, the SBH for electrons is reduced for scandium and increases for vanadium.  相似文献

Physical mechanics of fluctuation processes in advanced submicron and decananometer MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors) including the ultra-thin film SOI (siliconon-insulator) devices using strained silicon films are reviewed. The review is substantially based on the results obtained by the authors. It is shown that the following drastic changes occur in the nature and parameters of noise in such devices as a result of their downscaling when the gate oxide thickness and the channel length and width are decreased, the SOI substrates are used, the silicon film thickness is reduced, the film doping level is varied, the strained silicon films are employed, etc. Firstly, the Lorentzian components can appear in the current noise spectra. Those components are due to (i) electron tunneling from the valence band through the gate oxide in the SOI MOSFETs of a sufficiently thin gate oxide (LKE-Lorentzians); (ii) Nyquist fluctuations generated in the source and drain regions near the back Si/SiO2 interface in the SOI MOSFETs (BGI Lorentzians); (iii) electron exchange between the channel and some single trap in the gate oxide of the transistors with sufficiently small length and width of the channel (RTS Lorentzians). Secondly, the 1/f-noise level can increase due to (i) the appearance of recombination processes near the Si/SiO2 interface activated by the currents of electron tunneling from the valence band; (ii) an increase in the trap density in the gate oxide of the devices fabricated on the biaxially tensile-strained silicon films; (iii) the contribution of the 1/f fluctuations of the current flowing through the gate oxide as a result of electron tunneling from the conduction band. At the same time, the 1/f-noise level may decrease due to a decrease in the trap density in the gate oxide of the transistors fabricated on the uniaxially tensile-strained silicon films. Moreover, a 1/f 1.7 component may appear in the noise spectra for the transistors of a sufficiently thin gate oxide, whose component is due to charge fluctuations on the defects located near the interface between the gate polysilicon and the gate oxide.  相似文献

本文用横截面电子显微镜法分析了Si-W/Si/SiO2/Si(100)在440—1000℃退火后的晶化过程,以及各个界面的变化情况.发现Si-W合金膜中,WSi2并未优先在表面、界面处形成晶核.当退火温度不高于700℃时,反应在合金膜内发生,表面、界面起伏和缓.退火温度高达800—1000℃时,界面、表面出现原子扩散,造成剧烈的界面起伏;表面则出现小的热沟槽,Si/SiO2界面也出现高分辨电子显微镜才能观察到的起伏.表面、界面的原子迁移的动力来源于晶界与表面、界面张力.由于SiO2中Si—O键很稳定,不易发生Si和O在界面处的互扩散,所以Si/SiO2界面起伏很小. 关键词:  相似文献
