The effects of post-deposition annealing temperatures (400, 600, 800, and 1,000°C) in forming gas (95% N2 + 5% H2) ambient on metal–organic decomposed cerium oxide (CeO2) thin films deposited on n-type GaN substrate had been investigated. The occurrence of CeO2 phase transformation was reported and presence of CeO2, α-Ce2O3, and β-Ga2O3 had been detected, depending on the annealing temperature. As the annealing temperature increased, grain size and microstrains
of CeO2 films were, respectively, increased and reduced. Metal–oxide–semiconductor characteristics of the annealed samples were systematically
investigated. The highest dielectric breakdown field was perceived by sample annealed at 400°C due to the reduction of semiconductor–oxide
interface trap density and effective oxide charge. 相似文献

The BaO–SrO–ZnO–Nb2O5 ceramic thin films have been deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, using a Zn-enriched (Ba0.3Sr0.7) (Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 target, followed by annealing in O2 atmosphere at 1,200 °C for 15, 30, 45, and 60 min. The results show that the surface morphologies of samples are crack-free
and compact with well-crystallized structures. Grain sizes of thin films annealed at different times increase with the increasing
annealing times, and when the annealing time is of 45 and 60 min, the grains change from spherical shape to columnar shape.
RMS values of the thin films decrease with the increase in the annealing times from 15 to 30 min, while the RMS values increase
with the increase in the annealing times from 30 to 60 min. 相似文献

Bi4Ti3.96Nb0.04O12 thin films were successfully deposited on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by a sol–gel method and rapid thermal annealing. The effects of Nb-substitution and annealing temperature
(500–800°C) on the microstructure and ferroelectric properties of bismuth titanate thin films were investigated. X-ray diffraction
analysis reveals that the intensities of (117) peaks are relatively broad and weak at annealing temperatures smaller than
700°C. With the increase of annealing temperature from 500°C to 800°C, the grain size of Bi4Ti3.96Nb0.04O12 thin films increases. The Bi4Ti3.96Nb0.04O12 thin films annealed at 700°C exhibit the highest remanent polarization (2P
r), 36 μC/cm2 and lowest coercive field (2E
c), 110 kV/cm. The improved ferroelectric properties can be attributed to the substitution of Nb5+ to Ti4+ in Bi4Ti3O12 assisting the elimination of defects such as oxygen vacancy and vacancy complexes. 相似文献

The nanocrystalline WO3 thin films were deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering on quartz and p- type Si (100) substrates at a constant power of 25 W
and at three different sputtering pressures (0.05, 0.01 and 0.5 mbar) and post annealed at different temperatures. The deposited
films were characterized by XRD, UV–VIS spectrophotometry, ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The structural
studies from XRD spectra reveals that the films deposited at 0.05 mbar and post annealed at 573 and 673 K have the predominant
orthorhombic phase, whereas at 0.1 mbar and 573, 673 K triclinic phase is predominant. When sputtering pressure is at 0.5 mbar
the predominant phase is monoclinic when annealed at 473 K and triclinic at 673 K. The optical energy gap is influenced significantly
by sputtering pressure and post annealing temperatures. The optical energy gap of the films deposited at higher sputtering
pressures and post annealed at lower temperatures is high due to smaller crystallite sizes. The thickness of all deposited
films at different conditions is around 200 nm. 相似文献

In this study, polycrystalline AgGaS2 thin films were deposited by the sequential evaporation of AgGaS2 and Ag sources with thermal evaporation technique. Thermal treatment in nitrogen atmosphere for 5 min up to 700 °C was applied
to the deposited thin films and that resulted in the mono phase AgGaS2 thin films without the participation of any other minor phase. Structural and compositional analyses showed the structure
of the films completely changes with annealing process. The measurements of transmittance and reflectance allowed us to calculate
the band gap of films lying in 2.65 and 2.79 eV depending on annealing temperature. The changes in the structure with annealing
process also modify the electrical properties of the films. The resistivity of the samples varied in between 2 × 103 and 9 × 106 (Ω-cm). The room temperature mobility depending on the increasing annealing temperature was in the range of 6.7–37 (cm2 V−1 s−1) with the changes in carrier concentrations lying in 5.7 × 1013–2.5 × 1010 cm−3. Mobility-temperature dependence was also analyzed to determine the scattering mechanisms in the studied temperature range
with annealing. The variations in the electrical parameters of the films were discussed in terms of their structural changes. 相似文献

Energy Dispersive X-ray and X-ray Photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopies show that SiO
x
films deposited by reactive r.f. magnetron sputtering at partial pressure ratios R between oxygen and argon in a wide range (1–0.005) have compositions close to the stoichiometric one. For these films high
temperature annealing at 1,000 °C shifts the band in the Fourier Transform-Infrared spectrum due to the Si–O–Si stretching
vibration to values typical of stoichiometric SiO2. Further decrease of R leads to splitting of the Si 2p XPS line indicating increase of the Si content and formation of a
second phase in a SiO2 matrix. The electrical properties of test MOS structures with SiO
x
gate dielectric, regarding defect density in the oxide and at the SiO
x
/c-Si interface, degrade with the decrease of R. High temperature annealing at 1,000 °C strongly improves the properties of
all films regarding leakage current and properties of the interface. 相似文献

High quality heteroepitaxial thin films of ZnO:N were grown by pulsed laser deposition using a two-step growth method and
annealed in situ at different temperatures and ambient conditions. Films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrical
measurements, and photoluminescence experiments at low temperatures to investigate the effect of nitrogen doping. The XRD
results demonstrate epitaxial growth on the c-sapphire substrates, with average grain size of 57 nm. Photoluminescence spectra
reveals a peak at 3.061 eV (405.1 nm) which is part of the longitudinal-optical-phonon replicas of excitons bound to neutral
acceptors
\textA10 \textX\textA {\text{A}}_{1}^{0} \,{\text{X}}_{\text{A}} at 3.348 eV (370.4 nm), attributed in recent investigations to a newly reported donor–acceptor pair. Electrical resistivity
and Hall effect measurements were performed using standard four point van der Pauw geometry at room temperature. Fresh films
exhibited a resistivity of 3.1 × 10−3 Ω cm, a carrier density of 1.3 × 1019 cm−3, and a mobility of 53 cm2/V s. During approximately 2 weeks the as-deposited films presented a p-type behavior, as shown by the positive sign of the
Hall constant measured. Thereafter, films reverted to n-type. From electrical measurements and photoluminescence spectra,
the acceptor energy was determined to be 150 meV, in close agreement with reported values. These results are consistent with
those presented in the literature for high purity crystals or homoepitaxial thin films, even though samples for the present
study were processed at lower annealing temperature. 相似文献

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were fabricated using TiO2 mesoporous layers obtained by very simple method—transformation of TiO2 nanotube (NT) films grown by electrochemical oxidation to nanoparticle (NP) films. This transformation is based on thermal
annealing of TiO2 NT arrays formed by anodization of titanium foil in fluorine ambient. Performance of DSSCs fabricated with different size
NPs was studied in the range from 35 to 350 nm. Highest nominal efficiency (9.05%) was achieved for DSSC with NP size 65 nm
while the lowest nominal efficiency (1.48%) was observed for DSSCs with NP size 350 nm. The dependence of the solar cell parameters
with NP size is discussed. 相似文献

Metal Insulator Semiconductor (MIS) capacitors with monoclinic bismuth zinc niobate pyrocholre having the composition Bi2Zn2/3Nb4/3O7 (m-BZN) dielectric layer were fabricated and characterized. Capacitance voltage (C–V) and current voltage measurements were
utilized to obtain the dielectric properties, leakage current density and interface quality. The results shows that the obtained
m-BZN thin films presents a high dielectric constant in between 30 and 70, a good interface quality with silicon and a leakage
current density of 10 μA/cm2 for a field strength of 100 kV/cm which is acceptable for high performance logic circuits. The equilent oxide thickness for
the films annealed at 200 °C was 10 nm. These results suggest that m-BZN thin films can be potentially integrated as gate
dielectric materials in CMOS technology. 相似文献

Nb2O5 films have been deposited on variety of substrates using the sol-gel dip coating technique. As-deposited films on all substrates are amorphous. Films were annealed under controlled ambience at 300, 400 and 600°C for 5 h. As-deposited films on glass substrate show uniform surface structure. The crystal structure and surface topography are found to depend strongly on the annealing temperature and nature of the substrates. The average grain size of 40 nm is observed in films annealed at 300°C. On annealing at 400°C increasing grain size and resulting fusing of them, enhanced surface roughness. Films deposited on NaCl substrates crystallized into a stable monoclinic phase and those deposited on single crystal Si substrates crystallized into hexagonal phase after annealing at 600°C. The as-deposited films show very high transmittance (>90%) in the visible region. The optical band gap is observed to increase from 4.35 eV when the films are in amorphous state to 4.87 eV on crystallization. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline tin oxide (SnO2) thin films were coated using electron beam evaporation technique on glass substrates. To study the gleaming out look of
the structure and surface morphological changes, the films were annealed in the temperature 350–550 °C for 1 h. The annealed
films were subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies. The XRD patterns of SnO2 thin films as-deposited and annealed at 350 °C illustrate that the films were amorphous, and beyond 350 °C and thereafter
they became polycrystalline with tetragonal structure. The crystallite size of the annealed films, obtained through the XRD
analysis, increased with the increasing annealing temperature, and it was found to be from 3.6 to 12 nm. The photoluminescence
(PL) studies on these films were also carried out. The origin of luminescence was assigned to the defects of the nanocrystalline
SnO2 films. The Optical studies (UV-VIS) were performed and the optical band gab energy (Eg) calculations, the dependence of absorption
coefficient on the photon energy at short wavelengths, were found to be increasing from 3.65 to 3.91 eV is also investigated. 相似文献

Indium tin oxide (ITO) films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering were annealed under CdCl2 atmosphere at different temperatures. The effects of CdCl2 heat-treatment on the structural, electrical and optical properties of the films were investigated. The X-ray diffraction
measurement proves the annealing results in a change of preferred orientation from (400) to (222). It is found the resistivity
increases from 1.49 × 10−4 Ω cm of the as-deposited film to 6.82 × 10−4 Ω cm of the film annealed at 420 °C. The optical energy gap for the film varies from 3.97 to 3.89 eV. It is also found that
the CdCl2 heat-treatment results in narrowing the energy gap of ITO film. 相似文献

We have studied the photoluminescence (PL) of GeO2 and 90 mol % SiO2-10 mol % GeO2 films synthesized by method of RF magnetron sputtering and then irradiated with silicon ions and annealed. The PL of silicon-implanted
GeO2 films, related to the presence of Si nanocrystals (nc-Si), was observed for the first time. It is established that the transformation
of the defect centers responsible for the PL in the spectral range 350–600 nm, as well as the formation of nc-Si emitting
in the region of 700–800 nm, significantly depend on the matrix type. In particular, the PL intensity at 700–800 nm in 90
mol % SiO2-10 mol % GeO2 films is weak. The role of the isovalent substitution of Si and Ge atoms in the transformation of defect centers and the
formation of nc-Si is discussed. 相似文献

Detailed crystallographic data on high-quality Li2MnO3 material has been obtained using a combination of X-ray diffraction (XRD), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), high-resolution
electron microscopy (HREM), and 0.1 nm probe high-angle annular dark-field imaging (HAADF) in a scanning transmission electron
microscope. A high-purity Li2MnO3 powder was annealed at 950 °C for 3 days to obtain predominantly defect-free grains which average size was 3.0 ± 1.5 μm.
Rietveld refinement indicated that the C2/m spacegroup provided the best fit for the XRD data. Electron diffraction patterns obtained along various zone axes, on defect-free
oxide particles, could be uniquely indexed to the monoclinic structure. HREM and HAADF images of defect-free grains were consistent
with a Li–Mn–Mn– arrangement, i.e., lithium ordering in the transition metal planes. Low-magnification TEM images occasionally
revealed stacking defects within oxide particles. HREM images of sample areas containing defects revealed a low density of
stacking faults within the monoclinic sequence, resulting in a trigonal P3

The luminescence properties of Sm3+ ions in YAl3B4O12 were studied upon synchrotron excitation in the 3.8–11 eV region. In addition to the 4f → 4f excitation bands, the excitation spectra of the Sm3+ emission contain broad bands at 6.1 and ~7.0 eV. These bands are attributed to charge transfer transition in Sm3+–O2− complexes and 4f → 5d transition of Sm3+ ions, respectively. The optical absorption edge of YAl3B4O12 was determined at 7.3 eV. A comparison with the results of electronic structure calculations on YAl3B4O12 is also made. 相似文献

New dielectric ceramics in the SrLa4−xSmxTi5O17 (0 ≤ x ≤ 4) composition series were prepared through a solid state mixed oxide route to investigate the effect of Sm+3 substitution for La+3 on the phase, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties. At x = 0–3, all the compositions formed single phase ceramics
within the detection limit of in-house X-ray diffraction when sintered in the temperature range 1500–1580 °C. At x = 4, a
mixture of Sm2Ti2O7 and SrTiO3 formed. The maximum Sm+3-containing single phase ceramics, SrLaSm3Ti5O17, exhibited relative permittivity (εr) = 42.6, temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ

Barium titanate (BaTiO3) thin films doped with Mn (0.1–1.0 at%) were prepared by r.f. magnetron sputtering technique. Oxygen/argon (O2/Ar) gas ratio is found to influence the sputtering rate of the films. The effects of Mn doping on the structural, microstructural
and electrical properties of BaTiO3 thin films are studied. Mn-doped thin films annealed at high temperatures (700 °C) exhibited cubic perovskite structure.
Mn doping is found to reduce the crystallization temperature and inhibit the grain growth in barium titanate thin films. The
dielectric constant increases with Mn content and the dielectric loss (tan δ) reveals a minimum value of 0.0054 for 0.5% Mn-doped
BaTiO3 films measured at 1 MHz. The leakage current density decreases with Mn doping and is 10−11 A/cm−2 at 6 kV/cm for 1% Mn-doped thin films. 相似文献

WO3 and Ag-WO3 nanocomposite thin films have been synthesized from pure WO3 and Ag-WO3 composite pressed powder targets submitted to pulses generated by a frequency quadrupled Nd:yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG;
λ = 266 nm, τ ~ 5 ns, ν = 10 Hz) laser source. The irradiations were performed in low pressure oxygen atmosphere. The obtained
results proved the possibility to tailor the synthesized thin films optical properties in the UV–Visible spectral region and
their nano-scale electrical characteristics through the process parameters, as ambient oxygen pressure value during the thin
films deposition and Ag concentration of the Ag-WO3 composite targets. The tunable optical and electrical features allow for the creation of new materials for future applications
as photocatalysts, transparent conducting electrodes, electrochromic or chemical and biological sensor devices. 相似文献

Charge trap flash (CTF) memory devices are candidates to replace NAND flash devices. In this study, Pt/Al2O3/LaAlO3/SiO2/Si multilayer structures with lanthanum aluminate charge traps were fabricated for nonvolatile memory device applications.
An aluminum oxide film was used as a blocking oxide for low power consumption in the program/erase operation and to minimize
charge transport through the blocking oxide layer. The thickness of SiO2 as tunnel oxide layer was varied from 30 to 50 Å. Thicknesses of oxide layers were confirmed by high resolution transmission
electron microscopy (HRTEM) and all the samples showed amorphous structure. From the C–V measurement, a maximum memory window of 3.4 V was observed when tunnel oxide thickness was 40 Å. In the cycling test for
reliability, the 30 Å tunnel oxide sample showed a relatively large memory window reduction by repeated program/erase operations
due to the high electric field of ~10 MV/cm through tunnel oxide. The other samples showed less than 10% loss of memory window
during 104 cycles. 相似文献
