晶体硅太阳能电池绒面的反应离子刻蚀制备研究

以SF6和O2为反应气体,采用反应离子刻蚀(RIE)技术,在单晶硅衬底表面制备了锥型绒面结构,系统地研究了关键刻蚀条件对RIE晶硅表面制绒的影响.结果表明,随着反应气压增大,晶体硅表面锥型结构呈现分布均匀和高度增加的趋势,但过高气压下锥型微结构向脊型转变直至消失.在反应气体中掺入CH4,晶体硅表面锥型结构高度增加,表面平均反射率下降到5.63;.该结果可解释为:气压增大导致的F原子刻蚀的增强有利于锥体结构高度增加,小尺寸的SiOyFx聚合物掩模的完全刻蚀使锥型结构的尺寸逐渐均匀,而过高的气压下,掩模及晶体硅的过量刻蚀导致微结构只剩锥体底部的脊型凸起.CH4掺入导致CHx聚合物的掩模和粒子轰击效应均有增强,更有利于高纵横比锥型微结构的形成.     

P型微晶硅氧薄膜光电性能研究

本工作采用甚高频等离子体化学气相沉积(VHF-PECVD)技术制备了P型微晶硅氧窗口层薄膜,讨论了P型微晶硅氧的光电特性随硼烷掺杂率的变化.采用紫外-可见透射光谱,拉曼光谱,傅立叶变换红外吸收光谱(FTIR),暗电导测量对薄膜的光电特性进行了表征.结果表明,P型微晶硅氧材料均表现为微晶态,随着硼烷掺杂率增加,晶化程度逐步降低,暗电导率快速减小,光学带隙持续降低.该结果可归因于硼烷掺杂的增加抑制晶化使得非晶成分增多,有效掺杂率降低导致薄膜电导率下降,另一方面,对硅氧物相分离的阻碍作用导致薄膜带隙下降.硼烷掺杂率为0.4;样品的电导率高达0.158 S/cm且光学带隙为2.2 eV,兼具高透射性和良好电导率,可作为高效硅基太阳电池的窗口层.     

Influence of substrate bias voltage on the microstructure of nc-SiOx:H film

Amorphous silicon oxide containing nanocrystalline silicon grain(nc-SiO_x:H) films are prepared by a plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition technique at different negative substrate bias voltages.The influence of the bias voltage applied to the substrate on the microstructure is investigated.The analysis of x-ray diffraction spectra evidences the in situ growth of nanocrystalline Si.The grain size can be well controlled by varying the substrate bias voltage,and the largest size is obtained at 60 V.Fourier transform infrared spectra studies on the microstructure evolutions of the nc-SiO_x:H films suggest that the absorption peak intensities,which are related to the defect densities,can be well controlled.It can be attributed to the fact that the negative bias voltage provides a useful way to change the energies of the particles in the deposition process,which can provide sufficient driving force for the diffusion and movement for the species on the growing surface and effectively passivate the dangling bonds.Also the larger grain size and lower band gap,which will result in better photosensitivity,can also be obtained with a moderate substrate bias voltage of 60 V.     

螺旋波等离子体增强化学气相沉积氮化硅薄膜

利用螺旋波等离子体增强化学气相沉积(HWP-CVD)技术，以SiH4和N2为反应气体进行了氮化硅(SiN)薄膜沉积，并研究了实验参量对薄膜特性的影响.利用傅里叶变换红外光谱、紫外—可见光谱和椭偏光检测等技术对薄膜的结构、厚度和折射率等参量进行了测量.结果表明，采用HWP-CVD技术能在低衬底温度条件下以较高的沉积速率制备低H含量的SiN薄膜，所沉积的薄膜主要表现为Si—N键合结构.采用较低的反应气体压强将提高薄膜沉积速率，并使薄膜的致密性增加.适当提高N2/SiH4比例有利于薄膜中H含量的降低. 关键词： 螺旋波等离子体 化学气相沉积 氮化硅薄膜

Surface plasmon enhanced photoluminescence in amorphous silicon carbide films by adjusting Ag island film sizes

Ag island films with different sizes are deposited on hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (α-SiC:H) films, and the influences of Ag island films on the optical properties of the α-SiC:H films are investigated. Atomic force microscope images show that Ag nanoislands are formed after Ag coating, and the size of the Ag islands increases with increasing Ag deposition time. The extinction spectra indicate that two resonance absorption peaks which correspond to out-of-plane and in-plane surface plasmon modes of the Ag island films are obtained, and the resonance peak shifts toward longer wavelength with increasing Ag island size. The photoluminescence (PL) enhancement or quenching depends on the size of Ag islands, and PL enhancement by 1.6 times on the main PL band is obtained when the sputtering time is 10 min. Analyses show that the influence of surface plasmons on the PL of α-SiC:H is determined by the competition between the scattering and absorption of Ag islands, and PL enhancement is obtained when scattering is the main interaction between the Ag islands and incident light.

采用螺旋波等离子体辅助射频磁控溅射技术,在α-Al2 O3衬底上制备了N-Al共掺ZnO薄膜样品.Hall测量表明室温下ZnAlO∶N薄膜为n型传导,在O2等离子体气氛中550℃退火后变为p型.p型ZnO薄膜的载流子浓度为2.1×1016 cm-3,霍尔迁移率为5 cm2/V·s.用X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)对退火前后的ZnO薄膜进行了各元素的化学态分析.XPS结果表明,ZnAlO∶N薄膜中存在两种与N元素有关的缺陷,N原子替代O位形成的(N)o和N分子替代O位形成的(N2)o.退火后ZnAlO∶N薄膜中(N2)o缺陷减少,(N)o缺陷浓度占优导致了薄膜传导类型转变.

Nucleation mechanism and morphology evolution of MoS_2 flakes grown by chemical vapor deposition

We study the nucleation mechanism and morphology evolution of MoS_2 flakes grown by chemical vapor deposition(CVD)on SiO_2/Si substrates with using S and MoO_3 powders.The MoS_2 flake is of monolayer with triangular nucleation,which might arise from the initial MoO_3-xthat is deposited on the substrate,and then bonded with S to form MoS_2 flake.The ratio of Mo and S is higher than 1:2 at the beginning with Mo terminated triangular nucleation formed.After that,the morphology of MoS_2 flake evolves from triangle to similar hexagon,then to truncated triangle which is determined by the faster growth speed of Mo termination than that of S termination under the S rich environment.The nucleation density does not increase linearly with the increase of reactant concentration,which could be explained by the two-dimensional nucleation theory.
