Hierarchical core–shell (C–S) heterostructures composed of a NiO shell deposited onto stacked‐cup carbon nanotubes (SCCNTs) are synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD). A film of NiO particles (0.80–21.8 nm in thickness) is uniformly deposited onto the inner and outer walls of the SCCNTs. The electrical resistance of the samples is found to increase of many orders of magnitude with the increasing of the NiO thickness. The response of NiO–SCCNT sensors toward low concentrations of acetone and ethanol at 200 °C is studied. The sensing mechanism is based on the modulation of the hole‐accumulation region in the NiO shell layer upon chemisorption of the reducing gas molecules. The electrical conduction mechanism is further studied by the incorporation of an Al2O3 dielectric layer at NiO and SCCNT interfaces. The investigations on NiO–Al2O3–SCCNT, Al2O3–SCCNT, and NiO–SCCNT coaxial heterostructures reveal that the sensing mechanism is strictly related to the NiO shell layer. The remarkable performance of the NiO–SCCNT sensors toward acetone and ethanol benefits from the conformal coating by ALD, large surface area of the SCCNTs, and the optimized p‐NiO shell layer thickness followed by the radial modulation of the space‐charge region. 相似文献

3D continuous ZnO morphologies with characteristic feature sizes on the 10 nm length scale are attractive for electronic device manufacture. However, their synthesis remains a challenge because of the low crystallization temperature of ZnO. Here, we report a method for the robust and reliable synthesis of fully crystalline 3D mesoporous ZnO networks by means of atomic layer deposition (ALD) of ZnO into a self‐assembled block copolymer template. By carefully optimizing the processing conditions we are able to synthesize several‐micrometer‐thick layers of mesoporous ZnO networks with a strut width of 30 nm. Two 3D mesoporous morphologies are manufactured: a periodic gyroid structure and a random worm‐like morphology. Exploiting the ALD property to conformally coat complex surfaces of high aspect ratio, the channel network of a 3D continuous channel network of a self‐assembled block copolymer is replicated into ZnO. X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy and x‐ray diffraction measurements reveal that the chemical composition of the mesoporous structures is uniform and consists of wurtzite‐ZnO throughout the film. Scanning electron microscopy reveals an average pore dimension of 30 nm. The potential of this material for a hybrid photovoltaic application is demonstrated by the manufacture of a poly(3‐hexylthiophene)/ZnO solar cell. 相似文献

采用原子层沉积(ALD)工艺在硅衬底上生长了35 nm以下不同厚度的超薄氮化铝(AlN)晶态薄膜。利用椭圆偏振光谱法在波长275~900 nm内测量并拟合薄膜的厚度及折射率和消光系数等光学参数。利用原子力显微镜(AFM)表征AlN晶粒尺寸随生长循环次数的变化,计算得到薄膜表面粗糙度并用于辅助椭偏模型拟合。针对ALD工艺特点建立合适的椭偏模型,可获得AlN超薄膜的生长速率为0.0535 nm/cycle,AlN超薄膜的折射率随着生长循环次数的增加而增大,并逐渐趋于稳定,薄膜厚度为6.88 nm时,其折射率为1.6535,薄膜厚度为33.01 nm时,其折射率为1.8731。该模型为超薄介质薄膜提供了稳定、可靠的椭圆偏振光谱法表征。 相似文献

A high‐performance, transparent, and extremely thin (<15 nm) hydrogen (H2) gas sensor is developed using 2D electron gas (2DEG) at the interface of an Al2O3/TiO2 thin film heterostructure grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD), without using an epitaxial layer or a single crystalline substrate. Palladium nanoparticles (≈2 nm in thickness) are used on the surface of the Al2O3/TiO2 thin film heterostructure to detect H2. This extremely thin gas sensor can be fabricated on general substrates such as a quartz, enabling its practical application. Interestingly, the electron density of the Al2O3/TiO2 thin film heterostructure can be tailored using ALD process temperature in contrast to 2DEG at the epitaxial interfaces of the oxide heterostructures such as LaAlO3/SrTiO3. This tunability provides the optimal electron density for H2 detection. The Pd/Al2O3/TiO2 sensor detects H2 gas quickly with a short response time of <30 s at 300 K which outperforms conventional H2 gas sensors, indicating that heating modules are not required for the rapid detection of H2. A wide bandgap (>3.2 eV) with the extremely thin film thickness allows for a transparent sensor (transmittance of 83% in the visible spectrum) and this fabrication scheme enables the development of flexible gas sensors. 相似文献

Charge injection at metal/organic interface is a critical issue for organic electronic devices in general as poor charge injection would cause high contact resistance and severely limit the performance of organic devices. In this work, a new approach is presented to enhance the charge injection by using atomic layer deposition (ALD) to prepare an ultrathin vanadium oxide (VOx) layer as an efficient hole injection interlayer for organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs). Since organic materials are generally delicate, a gentle low‐temperature ALD process is necessary for compatibility. Therefore, a new low‐temperature ALD process is developed for VOx at 50 °C using a highly volatile vanadium precursor of tetrakis(dimethylamino)vanadium and non‐oxidizing water as the oxygen source. The process is able to prepare highly smooth, uniform, and conformal VOx thin films with precise control of film thickness. With this ALD process, it is further demonstrated that the ALD VOx interlayer is able to remarkably reduce the interface contact resistance, and, therefore, significantly enhance the device performance of OFETs. Multiple combinations of the metal/VOx/organic interface (i.e., Cu/VOx/pentacene, Au/VOx/pentacene, and Au/VOx/BOPAnt) are examined, and the results uniformly show the effectiveness of reducing the contact resistance in all cases, which, therefore, highlights the broad promise of this ALD approach for organic devices applications in general. 相似文献

Improvements in energy–water systems will necessitate fabrication of high‐performance separation membranes. To this end, interface engineering is a powerful tool for tailoring properties, and atomic layer deposition (ALD) has recently emerged as a promising and versatile approach. However, most non‐polar polymeric membranes are not amenable to ALD processing due to the absence of nucleation sites. Here, a sensitization strategy for ALD‐coating is presented, illustrated by membrane interface hydrophilization. Facile dip‐coating with polyphenols effectively sensitizes hydrophobic polymer membranes to TiO2 ALD coating. Tannic acid‐sensitized ALD‐coated membranes exhibit outstanding underwater crude oil repulsion and rigorous mechanical stability through bending and rinsing tests. As a result, these membranes demonstrate outstanding crude oil‐in‐water separation and reusability compared to untreated membranes or those treated with ALD without polyphenol pretreatment. A possible polyphenol‐sensitized ALD mechanism is proposed involving initial island nucleation followed by film intergrowth. This polyphenol sensitization strategy enriches the functionalization toolbox in material science, interface engineering, and environmental science. 相似文献

A method is presented for predicting and precisely controlling the structure of photonic crystals fabricated using sacrificial‐layer atomic layer deposition. This technique provides a reliable method for fabrication of high‐quality non‐close‐packed inverse shell opals with large static tunability and precise structural control. By using a sacrificial layer during opal infiltration, the inverse‐opal pore size can be increased with sub‐nanometer resolution and without distorting the lattice to allow for a high degree of dielectric backfilling and increased optical tunability. For a 10 % sacrificial layer, static tunability of 80 % is predicted for the inverse opal. To illustrate this technique, SiO2 opal templates were infiltrated using atomic layer deposition of ZnS, Al2O3, and TiO2. Experimentally, a static tunability of over 600 nm, or 58 %, was achieved and is well described by both a geometrical model and a numerical‐simulation algorithm. When extended to materials of higher refractive index, this method will allow the facile fabrication of 3D photonic crystals with optimized photonic bandgaps. 相似文献

Silicon dioxide (SiO2) films prepared by plasma‐enhanced atomic‐layer deposition were successfully grown at temperatures of 100 to 250 °C, showing self‐limiting characteristics. The growth rate decreases with an increasing deposition temperature. The relative dielectric constants of SiO2 films are ranged from 4.5 to 7.7 with the decrease of growth temperature. A SiO2 film grown at 250 °C exhibits a much lower leakage current than that grown at 100°C due to its high film density and the fact that it contains deeper electron traps. 相似文献

A hermetic sealing method of sub‐millimeter‐sized microelectronic chiplets for wireless body implants is presented by ultrathin and electromagnetically transparent atomic layer deposition (ALD) coatings. Fully 3D conformal encapsulation of wirelessly powered microdevices is demonstrated both with and without opening windows for electrophysiological measurements. The chiplets embedding custom application‐specific integrated circuits (ASICs) with radio frequency (RF) transmitters are encapsulated by a stack of alternating layers of hafnium oxide and silicon dioxide to maximize impermeability of water and ionic penetration while minimizing the volume of the packaging material. The hermeticity of the devices is characterized through accelerated aging tests in saline at T = 87 °C, while continued functionality is monitored via evaluation of backscattered RF signals (near 1 GHz) to ascertain possible degradation and electronic failure. Earliest failures of wirelessly functional devices occur after more than 180 d of immersion at 87 °C. Wireless devices having opening windows through the ALD envelope show no signs of degradation for >100 d. This implies an equivalent lifetime >10 years at T = 37 °C. This approach is readily scalable to high throughput batch processing of hundreds of microchiplets, offering a methodology for hermetic packaging of microscale biomedical chronic implants. 相似文献

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as one of the most promising and competitive energy storage systems due to abundant sodium resources and its environmentally friendly features. However, further improvements in the engineering of the SIB electrode/electrolyte interphase—which directly determines the Na‐ion transfer behavior, material structure stability, and sodiation/desodiation property—are highly recommended to meet the continuously increasing requirements for secondary power sources. Reasonably speaking, to promote SIBs, the advanced and controllable interphase/electrode engineering approach exhibits promise by rationally designing the bulk electrode and generating a well‐defined interphase. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology, with atomic‐scale deposition, superior uniformity, excellent conformality, and a self‐limiting nature, is thus expected to address the current challenges facing SIBs in terms of low energy density, limited cycling life, and structural instability, and to promote innovations such as multifunctional electrodes and nanostructured materials for advanced SIBs. This review summarizes and discusses the most recent advancements in the interphase engineering of SIBs by ALD via modifying traditional electrodes and designing advanced electrodes (such as 3D, organic, and protected sodium metal electrodes). Furthermore, based on the recent critical progress and current scientific understanding, future perspectives for the engineering of next‐generation SIB electrodes by ALD can be provided. 相似文献

为提高GaN基发光二极管(LED)的发光强度,制备TiO2/Al2O3分布式布拉格反射器(DBR)来提高其外量子效率是一种有效的方法。原子层沉积(ALD)法所制备的薄膜具有良好的均匀性,适合用来制备反射器材料。同时,TiN薄膜具有良好的类金属性质,且与TiO2之间具有良好的粘附性,因此在DBR基础上再采用TiN反射层可以将反射率进一步提高。Matlab软件模拟结果表明,3~6周期厚的DBR,其反射率随厚度增加而提高。其中6周期DBR的反射率为95%,加上TiN薄膜后反射率可以得到进一步提高。实验结果与模拟结果吻合,6周期DBR+TiN结构的反射率达到99%。给带有该结构的LED注入50mA电流时,LED光输出功率(LOP)相对没有该结构的器件提升了约68.3%。 相似文献

采用等离子体增强原子层沉积(PEALD)技术在斜切的砷化镓(GaAs)衬底上低温沉积了氮化镓(GaN)薄膜,对生长过程、表面机制以及界面特性等进行分析,得到GaN在215~270℃的温度窗口内生长速度(Growth-Per-Cycle, GPC)为0.082 nm/cycle,并从表面反应动力学和热力学方面对GPC的变化进行了分析。研究发现,生长的GaN薄膜为多晶,具有六方纤锌矿结构,且出现(103)结晶取向。在GaN/GaAs界面处观察到约1 nm厚的非晶层,这可能与生长前衬底表面活性位点的限制和前驱体的空间位阻效应有关。值得注意的是,在沉积的GaN薄膜中,所有的N皆与Ga以Ga-N键结合生成GaN,但是存在少部分Ga形成了Ga-O键和Ga-Ga键。这种成键方式,可能与GaN薄膜中存在的缺陷和杂质有关。 相似文献

Catalysts can play a critical role in the development of sodium–air batteries (SABs). Atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology enables rational design and atomic utilization of catalyst by homogenously distributing catalytically active material on a variety of substrates. Here, a novel hierarchical nanostructured Co3O4 is decorated on carbon nanotubes by ALD (CNT@Co3O4) and used as a catalyst for SABs. CNT@Co3O4 demonstrates better performance and longer cycle life than a mechanically mixed CNT/Co3O4 nanocomposite. Well‐dispersed ALD Co3O4 catalyst on CNTs, which serves as functionalized active sites, enables rapid electron exchange and high oxygen reduction/evolution activities. Synchrotron‐based X‐ray analysis including X‐ray absorption near edge structure, extended X‐ray absorption fine structure, and scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy characterization techniques have been employed to elucidate the activity of Co3O4 and to investigate the nanoscale discharge product distribution found in SABs. This analysis reveals that Co3O4 catalyst can promote the electrochemical decomposition of sodium peroxide, superoxide, and carbonates. The role of the catalyst in SABs is clarified and discussed in detail. 相似文献

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an essential tool in semiconductor device fabrication that allows the growth of ultrathin and conformal films to precisely form heterostructures and tune interface properties. The self-limiting nature of the chemical reactions during ALD provides excellent control over the layer thickness. However, in contrast to idealized growth models, it is challenging to create continuous monolayers by ALD because surface inhomogeneities and precursor steric interactions result in island growth. Thus, the ability to create closed monolayers by ALD would offer new opportunities for controlling interfacial charge and mass transport in semiconductor devices, as well as for tailoring surface chemistry. Here, encapsulation of c-plane gallium nitride (GaN) with ultimately thin (≈3 Å) aluminum oxide (AlOx) is reported, which is enabled by the partial conversion of the GaN surface oxide into AlOx using sequential exposure to trimethylaluminum (TMA) and hydrogen plasma. Introduction of monolayer AlOx decreases the work function and enhances reactivity with phosphonic acids under standard conditions, which results in self-assembled monolayers with densities approaching the theoretical limit. Given the high reactivity of TMA with surface oxides, the presented approach likely can be extended to other dielectrics and III–V-based semiconductors, with relevance for applications in optoelectronics, chemical sensing, and (photo)electrocatalysis. 相似文献

In this work heteroepitaxial stabilization with nanoscale control of the magnetic Co2FeO4 phase at 250 °C is reported. Ultrasmooth and pure Co2FeO4 thin films (5–25 nm) with no phase segregation are obtained on perovskite SrTiO3 single crystal (100) and (110) oriented substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD). High resolution structural and chemical analyses confirm the formation of the Co‐rich spinel metastable phase. The magneto‐crystalline anisotropy of the Co2FeO4 phase is not modified by stress anisotropy because the films are fully relaxed. Additionally, high coervice fields, 15 kOe, and high saturation of magnetization, 3.3 μB per formula unit (at 10 K), are preserved down to 10 nm. Therefore, the properties of the ALD‐Co2FeO4 films offer many possibilities for future applications in sensors, actuators, microelectronics, and spintronics. In addition, these results are promising for the use of ALD compared to the existing thin‐film deposition techniques to stabilize epitaxial multicomponent materials with nanoscale control on a wide variety of substrates for which the processing temperature is a major drawback. 相似文献

High quality indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were grown by pulse laser deposition (PLD) on flexible polyethersulphone (PES) substrates. The electrical, optical, and surface morphological properties of these films were examined as a function of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure. ITO thin films, deposited by PLD on a PES substrate at room temperature and an oxygen pressure of 15 mTorr, have a low electrical resistivity of 2.9×10?4 Ω cm and a high optical transmittance of 84 % in the visible range. They were used as the anode in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). The maximum electro luminescence (EL) and current density at 100 cd/m2 were 2500 cd/m2 and 2 mA/cm2, respectively, and the external quantum efficiency of the OLEDs was found to be 2.0 %. 相似文献
