大剂量(4×1016cm-2)的Ge离子在77K低温下被注入于(100)硅片中,并结合随后的1080℃快速热处理(RTP)以形成Si/SiGe异质结构.用卢瑟福背散射技术和二次离子质谱技术研究注锗硅片退火前后Ge的分布.结果表明,快速热处理退火不仅能使注锗硅片发生固相外延生长,表层形成合金层,而且导致Ge向表面的质量运输.最终出现平台式的Ge分布形态.快速热处理后Ge这种再分布被认为有利于提高HBT的增益和获得表面应变沟道.     

氮对直拉硅片中氧沉淀分布的影响

研究了氮在退火过程中对直拉硅片中的氧沉淀分布的影响.实验结果表明,三步退火后在掺氮硅片截面形成特殊的M形的氧沉淀密度分布,即表面形成没有氧沉淀的洁净区(DZ) ,体内靠近DZ区域形成高密度、小尺寸的氧沉淀,而在硅片的中心处形成低密度、大尺寸的氧沉淀.分析认为,由于在第一步高温退火过程中氮在硅片表面外扩散,同时在硅片体内促进氧沉淀,改变了间隙氧的分布,从而导致在随后的热处理过程中氧沉淀的特殊分布行为

NiuPt1-uSivGe1-v/Si0.72Ge0.28界面形貌的改善

针对锗硅在形成金属锗硅化物时存在部分应力释放、界面形貌特性变差的问题,提出了在Si0.72Ge0.28上分别外延薄硅(Si)覆盖层和锗硅(Si072Ge0.28)缓冲层的工艺方案.实验结果表明,通过两步快速热退火,两个方案的工艺条件都能形成低阻的NiuPt1-uSitGe1-v和改善NivPt1-uSitGe./Si0.72Ge0.28的界面形貌.但相比较而言,在Si0.72Ge0.28上外延10 nm Si覆盖层的方案能够形成更好的NiuPt1-uSivGe1-t/Si0.72Ge0.28界面形貌.与没有改进的方案相比,该方案形成的肖特基接触更具有更低的肖特基接触势垒高度,更易形成欧姆接触.

快速退火气氛对硅片洁净区和表面形貌的影响

使用N2和N2/NH3混合气氛作为快速热退火(RTA)气氛,研究了RTA气氛对洁净区、氧沉淀和硅片表面形貌的影响.在N2/NH3混合气氛下,RTA处理后,硅片表面出现小坑,同时,微粗糙度增加,后续热处理工艺中会出现薄的洁净区(～10μm)和高密度的氧沉淀.经过N2气氛RTA处理的硅片,表面微粗糙度变化不大,后续热处理中获得较厚的洁净区(≥40μm)和较低的氧沉淀密度.     

高温快速热处理对硅中热施主的影响

研究了不同气氛(N2、O2、Ar)下高温快速热处理(RTP)对热施主形成和消除特性的影响.研究发现无论在何种气氛下进行高温RTP,对热施主的形成均无影响.扩展电阻的分析结果表明,热施主在硅片纵向的分布是均匀的.根据高温RTP后硅片的空位特征,认为点缺陷对热施主的形成特性无影响.同时研究了高温RTP预处理对热施主消除特性的影响,发现氧气和氩气高温RTP的样品其生成的热施主经过650℃退火即可消除,和普通的热施主消除特性相同.而N2气氛下高温RTP的样品,650℃退火后仍有部分施主存在,经950℃退火才能彻底消除,这可能是由于RTP处理中发生氮的内扩散,在后续热处理中形成氮氧复合体浅施主中心所致.

快速预热处理对大直径CZ-Si中FPDs及清洁区的影响

研究了不同气氛下快速预热处理(RTA)后,硅片中的流动图形缺陷(FPDs)密度和随后两步热处理形成的魔幻清洁区(MDZ)之间的关系.硅片经过高温快速预热处理后,再经过800℃(4h) 1000℃(16h)常规退火,以形成MDZ.研究发现,当硅片在Ar气氛或N2/O2(9%)混合气氛下RTA预处理后,FPDs密度较低,随后热处理出现的氧沉淀诱生缺陷密度较高、清洁区较宽.对于N2/O2混和气氛,随着O2含量的增加,FPDs和氧沉淀诱生缺陷密度变小,纯O2气氛下预处理后硅片中FPDs和氧沉淀诱生缺陷密度最低.因此,可以通过调节N2/O2混合气氛中两种气氛的比例来控制空洞型微缺陷和硅片体内氧沉淀诱生缺陷的密度.     

Preparation and Characterization of TaN ALD Precursors

High purity organic-tantalum precursors for thin film ALD TaN were synthesized and characterized.Vapor pressure and thermal stability of these precursors were studied.From the vapor pressure analysis,it was found that TBTEMT has a higher vapor pressure than any other published liquid TaN precursor,including TBTDET,TAITMATA,and IPTDET.Thermal stability of the alkyl groups on the precursors was investigated using a 1H NMR technique.The results indicated that the tertbutylimino group is the most stable group on TBTDET and TBTEMT as compared to the dialkylamido groups.Thermal stability of TaN precursors decreased in the following order:TBTDET ＞ PDMAT ＞ TBTEMT.In conclusion,precursor vapor pressure and thermal stability were tuned by making slight variations in the ligand sphere around the metal center.     

Curved crystal spectrometer for the measurement of X-ray lines from laser-produced plasmas

In order to diagnose the laser-produced plasmas, a focusing curved crystal spectrometer has been developed for measuring the X-ray lines radiated from a laser-produced plasmas. The design is based on the fact that the ray emitted from a source located at one focus of an ellipse will converge on the other focus by the reflection of the elliptical surface. The focal length and the eccentricity of the ellipse are 1350 mm and 0.9586, respectively. The spectrometer can be used to measure the X- ray lines in the wavelength range of 0.2-0.37 nm, and a LiF crystal （200） （2d = 0.4027 nm） is used as dispersive element covering Bragg angle from 30° to 67.5°. The spectrometer was tested on Shengnang- Ⅱ which can deliver laser energy of 60-80 J/pulse and the laser wavelength is 0.35 μm. Photographs of spectra including the 1 s2p ^1P1-1s^2 ^1S0 resonance line（w）, the 1s2p ^3P2-1s^2 1S0 magnetic quadrupole line（x）, the 1s2p ^3P1-1 s^2 ^1S0 intercombination lines（y）, the 1 s2p ^3S~1-1 s^2 ^1S0 forbidden line（z） in helium-like Ti Ⅹ Ⅺ and the 1 s2s2p ^2P3/2-1 s622s ^2S1/2 line（q） in lithium-like Ti Ⅹ Ⅹhave been recorded with a X-ray CCD camera. The experimental result shows that the wavelength resolution（λ/△ 2） is above 1000 and the elliptical crystal spectrometer is suitable for X-ray spectroscopy.     

Electronic Structure of Semiconductor Nanocrystals

This paper reviews our recent development of the use of the large-scale pseudopotential method to calculate the electronic structure of semiconductor nanocrystals, such as quantum dots and wires, which often contain tens of thousands of atoms. The calculated size-dependent exciton energies and absorption spectra of quantum dots and wires are in good agreement with experiments. We show that the electronic structure of a nanocrystal can be tuned not only by its size,but also by its shape. Finally,we show that defect properties in quantum dots can be significantly different from those in bulk semiconductors.

GaAsSb/InAlAs PA DHBTs Grown by Production MBE

The epi material growth of GaAsSb based DHBTs with InAlAs emitters are investigated using a 4 × 100mm multi-wafer production Riber 49 MBE reactor fully equipped with real-time in-situ sensors including an absorption band edge spectroscope and an optical-based flux monitor. The state-of-the-art hole mobilities are obtained from 100nm thick carbon-doped GaAsSb. A Sb composition variation of less than ± 0.1 atomic percent across a 4 × 100mm platen configuration has been achieved. The large area InAlAs/GaAsSb/InP DHBT device demonstrates excellent DC characteristics,such as BVCEO＞6V and a DC current gain of 45 at 1kA/cm2 for an emitter size of 50μm × 50μm. The devices have a 40nm thick GaAsSb base with p-doping of 4. 5 × 1019cm-3 . Devices with an emitter size of 4μm × 30μm have a current gain variation less than 2% across the fully processed 100mm wafer. ft and fmax are over 50GHz,with a power efficiency of 50% ,which are comparable to standard power GaAs HBT results. These results demonstrate the potential application of GaAsSb/InP DHBT for power amplifiers and the feasibility of multi-wafer MBE for mass production of GaAsSb-based HBTs.     

Propagation of hermite-cosh-gaussian beams passing through ABCD optical system with an annular aperture

By using the expansion of the aperture function into a finte sum of complex Gaussian functions, the corresponding analytical expressions of Hermite-cosh-Gaussian beams passing through annular apertured paraxially and symmetrically optical systems written in terms of ABCD matrix were derived, and they could reduce to the cases with squared aperture. In a similar way, the corresponding analytical expressions of cosh-Gaussian beams through annular apertured ABCD matrix were also given. The method could save more calculation time than that by using the diffraction integral formula directly.     

Noise character analysis and the restraint of self-pulsation laser diodes

We calculate the Langevin noise sources of self-pulsation laser diodes, analyze the effects of active region noise and saturable-absorption region noise on the power fluctuation as well as period fluctuation, and propose a novel method to restrain the noise effects. A visible SIMULINK model is established to simulate the system, The results indicate that the effects of noise in absorption region can be ignored; that with the increase of DC injecting current, the noise effects enhance power jitter, and nevertheless, the period jitter is decreased; and that with external sinusoidal current modulating the self-pulsation laser diode, the noise-induced power jitter and period jitter can be suppressed greatly. This work is valuable for clock recovery in all-optical network.     

Influence of polarization extinction ratio on distributed polarization coupling detection

Distributed polarization coupling in polarization-maintaining fibers can be detected by using a white light Michelson interferometer. This technique usually requires that only one polarization mode is excited. However, in practical measurement, the injection polarization direction could not be exactly aligned to one of the principal axes of the PMF, so the influence of the polarization extinction ratio should be considered. Based on the polarization coupling theory, the influence of the incident polarization extinction on the measurement result is evaluated and analyzed, and a method for distributed polarization coupling detection is developed when both two orthogonal eigenmodes are excited.     

High-quality single-crystal CdSe nanoribbons and their optical properties

Large-scale synthesis of single-crystal CdSe nanoribbons is achieved by a modified thermal evaporation method, in which two-step-thermal-evaporation is used to control CdSe sources＇ evaporation. The synthesized CdSe nanoribbons are usually several micrometers in width, 50 nm in thickness, and tens to several hundred micrometers in length. Studies have shown that high-quality CdSe nanoribbons with regular shapes can be obtained by this method. Room-temperature photolumines-cence indicates that the lasing emission at 710 nm has been observed under optical pumping （266 nm） at power densities of 25-153 kW/cm^2. The full width half maximum （FWHM） of the lasing mode is 0.67 nm
