本文研究了有无氧化硅保护层时Al0.85Ga0.15As层的高温湿法氧化。实验结果表明：氧化硅层对Al0.85Ga0.15As层的高温侧向湿法氧化速率基本无影响;被氧化区域SEM图像的衬度和有氧化硅保护层样品As拉曼峰的缺乏归因于被氧化区域中不存在氧化反应产物As,这有利于提高氧化层的热稳定性;有SiO2保护层样品的发光强度比无SiO2保护层样品的发光强度强的多,且具有SiO2保护层样品的发光峰位和半高全宽与氧化前的样品基本一致,而无SiO2保护层样品的发光峰位红移,半高宽展宽,这是由于氧化硅层阻止了GaAs盖层的氧化。     

Si间隔层对Al(1wt.%Si)/Zr极紫外多层膜热稳定的作用研究

为了提升Al/Zr多层膜的热稳定性,采用直流磁控溅射方法制备了18个带有不同厚度Si间隔层的Al(1 wt.%Si)/Zr多层膜,并将这些样品分别进行了不同温度(100~500 ℃)的真空退火,退火时间为1 h.利用X射线掠入射反射(GIXR)和X射线衍射(XRD)的方法来研究Si间隔层对Al/Zr多层膜热稳定性的作用.GIXR测量结果表明:随着Si间隔层厚度的增大,Al膜层的粗糙度减小,而Zr膜层的粗糙度增大;XRD测量结果表明:Al和Zr膜层粗糙度的变化是由于退火后膜层中晶粒尺寸不同造成的.相比于没有Si间隔层的Al/Zr多层膜,引入厚度为0.6 nm的Si间隔层可以有效提升Al/Zr多层膜的热稳定性.

Dopant effects on the thermal stability of FUSI NiSi

The thermal stability of fully silicided (FUSI) NiSi with arsenic or boron doping on silicon on insulator (SOI) was investigated. After the stacks were subjected to a typical back-end of line (BEOL) thermal annealing in a N₂ ambient, abnormal oxidation of As doped FUSI NiSi stacks is observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show Ni-rich phases like Ni₃Si are formed due to abnormal oxidation of FUSI NiSi. In contrast to As doped stacks, no phase transformation nor abnormal oxidation are observed for B doped stacks under similar annealing. However, backside secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) results indicate B penetration through a 3 nm SiON layer into the Si channel after N₂ annealing for 4 h at 400 °C. There is no evidence for Ni diffusion into the Si channel for B doped stacks. However, Ni penetration into the Si channel is observed for As doped stacks due to the enhancement of abnormal oxidation of FUSI NiSi.

Effect of thermal oxidation on charge carrier transport in nanostructured silicon

The effect of short-time annealing in air on the conductivity of porous silicon in two different directions (parallel and orthogonal to the sample surface) is studied. The samples under study are produced by electrochemical etching of single-crystal silicon wafers with (100)-oriented surfaces. It is found that thermal oxidation of the resulting porous silicon layers has different effects on the conductivity measured normally and parallel to the sample surface. For the oxidized samples, the conductivity in the direction orthogonal to the surface is noticeably higher than the conductivity in the direction parallel to the surface. The results are interpreted in the context of the model of charge carrier transport with consideration for potential barriers at the boundaries of silicon nanocrystals.     

Conduction mechanisms in Ta2O5 stack in response to rapid thermal annealing

The influence of the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in vacuum at 1000 °C on the leakage current characteristics and conduction mechanisms in thermal Ta₂O₅ (7-40 nm) on Si has been studied. It was established that the effect of RTA depends on both the initial parameters of the films (defined by the oxidation temperature and film thickness) and annealing time (15-60 s). The RTA tends to change the distribution and the density of the traps in stack, and this reflects on the dielectric and leakage properties. The thinner the film and the poorer the oxidation, the more susceptible the layer to heating. The short (15 s) annealing is effective in improving the leakage characteristics of poorly oxidized samples. The RTA effect, however, is rather deleterious than beneficial, for the thinner layers with good oxygen stoichiometry. RTA modifies the conduction mechanism of Ta₂O₅ films only in the high-field region. The annealing time has strong impact on the appearance of a certain type of reactions upon annealing resulting to variation of the ratio between donors and traps into Ta₂O₅, causing different degree of compensation, and consequently to domination of one of the two mechanisms at high fields (Schottky emission or Poole-Frenkel effect). Trends associated with simultaneous action of annealing and generation of traps during RTA processing, and respectively the domination of one of them, are discussed.

Drive-Current Enhancement in Ge n-Channel MOSFET Using Laser Annealing for Source/Drain Activation

A gate-first self-aligned Ge nMOSFET with a metal gate and CVD$hboxHfO_2$has been successfully fabricated using KrF laser annealing (LA) as dopant-activation annealing. By applying an aluminum laser reflector on TaN metal gate, source/drain (S/D) regions are selectively annealed without heating the gate stack. Small S/D resistance and good gate-stack integrity are achieved simultaneously. As a result, a larger drive current and a lower threshold voltage are achieved in Ge nMOSFET using LA activation than that using conventional rapid thermal annealing activation.     

Preparation and characterization of TiO2 thin film by thermal oxidation of sputtered Ti film

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) thin films were successfully prepared on quartz substrate by thermal oxidation of sputtered titanium film in air. The structure, composition, morphology and optical properties of oxidized TiO₂ films were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic activity of the films was evaluated on the basis of the degradation of methyl orange solution under UV irradiation. Ti films after oxidation present mainly in TiO₂ form with a larger amount of adsorbed O₂, and oxidation temperature has a strong impact on the crystal structure and properties of the films. A phase transformation of anatase to rutile for oxidized TiO₂ films occurred in the temperature range of 700–800 °C. The energy band gap of oxidized TiO₂ films decreased first and then increased with annealing temperature. Furthermore, TiO₂ film oxidized at 600 °C exhibited the best photocatalytic activity due to suitable crystal phase and size. These results might contribute to the synthesis of metal oxide thin films with expectant structural morphology and properties by thermal oxidation methods.
