Effect of Trimethyl Aluminium Surface Pretreatment on Atomic Layer Deposition Al2O3 Ultra-Thin Film on Si Substrate

Ultra-thin Al2O3 dielectric films have been deposited on Si substrates by using trimethyl aluminium （TMA） and water as precursors in an atomic layer deposition （ALD） system. Growth of the interracial layer between ultra-thin Al2O3 and the Si substrate is effectively suppressed by a long-time TMA surface pretreatment of the Si substrate prior to A1203 atomic layer deposition. High resolution transmission electron microscopy （TEM） images show that the thickness of the interracial layer is reduced to be 0.5nm for the sample with TMA pretreatment lasting 3600s. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that the A1203 film deposited on the TMApretreated Si surface exhibits very good thermal stability. However, a hysteresis of about 50mV is observed in the C- V curve of the samples with the TMA pretreatment.

Review on Atomic Layer Deposition and Applications of Oxide Thin Films

Atomic layer deposition technique is able to grow conformal thin films over high aspect ratio structures. This article reviews the various aspects of oxides grown by this method including applications in photovoltaics and memristors. The main focus of this review is to concentrate on the oxides grown by atomic layer deposition and their growth mechanisms. The oxides deposited using atomic layer deposition are also likely to find application in memristor, an emerging field in the non volatile memories design with the ability to retain data and memory states even in power-off condition. The use of this technique to obtain oxides in surface modification of nanostructures gives the significance of these materials.

Effect of Pretreatment of TaN Substrates on Atomic Layer Deposition Growth of Ru Thin Films

The polycrystalline ruthenium films are grown on TaN substrates by atomic layer deposition （ALD） using bis（cyclopentadienyl） ruthenium [RuCp2] and oxygen as ruthenium precursor and reactant respectively at a deposition temperature of 330℃. The low-energy Ar ion bombardment and Ru pre-deposition are performed to the underlying TaN substrates before ALD process in order to improve the Ru nucleation. X-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy are carried out to characterize the properties of ALD Ru films. The results show that the nucleation density of Ru films with Ar^＋ bombardment to the underlying TaN substrates is much higher than that of the ones without any pretreatment. The possible reasons are discussed.

GaN MOS-HEMT Using Ultra-Thin A1203 Dielectric Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition

We report a GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor （MOS-HEMT） with atomic layer deposited （ALD） Al2O3 gate dielectric. Based on the previous work [Appl. Phys. Lett. 86 （2005） 063501] of Ye et al. by decreasing the thickness of the gate oxide to 3.5nm and optimizing the device fabrication process, the device with maximum transconductance of 150mS/mm is produced and discussed in comparison with the result of lOOmS/mm of Ye et al. The corresponding drain current density in the 0.8-μm-gate-length MOS-HEMT is 800mA/mm at the gate bias of 3.0 V. The gate leakage is two orders of magnitude lower than that of the conventional A1GaN/GaN HEMT. The excellent characteristics of this novel MOS-HEMT device structure with ALD Al2O3 gate dielectric are presented.     

Structural, Morphology and Optical Properties of Epitaxial ZnO Films Grown on Al2O3 by MOCVD

Epitaxial ZnO films are grown on Al2O3 （0001） by the MOCVD method. These films are high quality wurtzite crystals with （0001） orientation. Big hexagonal crystallites （diameter from several decades to 100 μm） are found on the surface. Inside these crystallites, a stronger luminescence is observed compared with the plain area. Transmission electronic microscopy reveals that the film is thicker inside the hexagonal crystallites than the plain area, and some crystallites are not connected with each other and are slightly rotated with respect to their neighbours.

Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Nanoflowers Grown on AlN Films by Solution Deposition

ZnO nanoflowers are synthesized on AlN films by solution method. The synthesized nanoflowers are composed of nanorods, which are pyramidal and grow from a central point, thus forming structures that are flower-shaped as a whole. The nanoflowers have two typical morphologies： plate-like and bush-like. The XRD spectrum corresponds to the side planes of the ZnO nanorods made up of the nanoflowers. The micro-Raman spectrum of the ZnO nanoflowers exhibits the E2 （high） mode and the second order multiple-phonon mode. The photoluminescence spectrum of the ZnO nanoflowers exhibits ultraviolet emission centred at 375nm and a broad green emission centred at 526 nm.
