High resolution studies on Hoechst AZ PN114 chemically amplified resist

This paper describes the high resolution properties of the negative electron beam resist AZ PN114 showing that it is capable of resolving linewidths of 30 nm and gratings of 100 nm period. Edge noise was measured for critical dimensions (CDs) varying from 50 nm to 200 nm and it was found that using a 100 kV beam voltage 100 nm equal lines and spaces could be written with a 3σ linewidth variation of 7 nm. This increased as the beam voltage was reduced suggesting that edge roughness is shot noise limited.     

Parameters influencing the optical properties of SnS thin films

Tin sulphide(SnS) thin films have been recognized as a potential candidate for solar cells. Many fabrication techniques have been used to grow SnS thin films. The band-gap, Eg of SnS films as reported in literature, were found to vary from 1.2-2.5 eV depending on the film fabrication technique. The present work reports the structural, compositional, morphological and optical characterization of SnS thin films fabricated by thermal evaporation at room temperature. Results show that for the given fabrication technique/condition, the band-gap functionally depends on the lattice parameter and grain size. The well-defined variation allows for tailoring SnS film as per requirements.

Effect of cobalt substitution on the optical properties of bismuth ferrite thin films

Effect of cobalt substitution on the band gap and absorption coefficient of the BiFeO₃ thin films formed on quartz substrate by low cost spin coating method have been investigated. BiFe_1−xCo_xO₃ (x=0, 0.03, 0.06 and 0.10) thin films are polycrystalline and it retains the rhombohedral distorted perovskite structure up to 10 mole % of Co substitution. Smooth and compact surface morphology with uniform size particles are observed in SEM micrographs. Narrowing and broadening of band gap is observed as a function of Co content. Two strong emission peaks at ~2.51 eV and ~2.38 eV are recorded for all films with noticeable change in intensity. Results obtained from the optical absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy experiments have shown that there exists an inverse correlation between the variation in the band gap and the concentration of oxygen vacancies. Band gap decreased by ~100 meV and absorption coefficient increased by 28% at the wavelength of 375 nm in 6 mole % Co substituted thin film and these observations are necessary requirements to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic devices.
