Many point-defect–related centers have been investigated in electron-irradiated 6H-SiC by deep-level transient spectroscopy
(DLTS). Most of them are believed to be related to vacancies. Our DLTS studies on deep centers produced by electron-irradiation
(EI) in conductive epi-6H-SiC are in agreement with the literature data. However, for semi-insulating SiC, DLTS cannot be
used for trap studies so we have applied thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectroscopy. At least nine TSC traps have been
observed in high-purity/semi-insulating (HPSI) 6H-SiC. To understand the nature of these centers, 1-MeV EI and postirradiation
annealing at 600°C were applied to the sample. The TSC spectroscopy and 4.2 K photoluminescence (PL) have been used to study
the effects of EI and annealing on the centers in HPSI 6H-SiC. It was found that (1) some of the major EI-induced DLTS centers
in conductive 6H-SiC, such as ED1, E1/E2, Ei, Z1/Z2, and L9, have TSC counterparts even in as-grown HPSI 6H-SiC; (2) EI-induced TSC centers in HPSI 6H-SiC are due to point defects,
which have been confirmed by typical PL lines (such as S, L, and V lines); and (3) the concentration of the 1.1-eV center,
which controls material conductivity, can be increased by 1-MeV EI and decreased by 600°C annealing. 相似文献

Using high-resolution Laplace deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), we have compared the electron emission characteristics of vacancy-related defects in silicon. The samples include material irradiated with high-energy protons, material implanted with a heavy ion and silicon irradiated with 2 MeV electrons. We show that in the proton- and electron-irradiated material the DLTS peak in the region of the (- -/-) state of the divacancy at Ec=0.23 eV contains only one feature. The DLTS peak at 250 K which contains the signal derived from the (-/0) state of the divacancy is much larger in ion-implanted silicon than in electron-irradiated silicon. The Laplace DLTS is able to resolve clearly the (-/0) divacancy state and the V–P defect, whereas conventional DLTS shows only a broad peak in that region. 相似文献

Calcium copper titanium oxide (CaCu3Ti4O12, abbreviated to CCTO) films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at room temperature (RT) by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering. As-deposited CCTO films were treated by rapid
thermal annealing (RTA) at various temperatures and in various atmospheres. X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron
microscope (SEM) images demonstrated that the crystalline structures and surface morphologies of CCTO thin films were sensitive
to the annealing temperature and ambient atmosphere. Polycrystalline CCTO films could be obtained when the annealing temperature
was 700°C in air, and the grain size increased signifi- cantly with annealing in O2. The 0.8-μm CCTO thin film that was deposited at RT for 2 h and then annealed at 700°C in O2 exhibited a high dielectric constant (ε′) of 410, a dielectric loss (tan δ) of 0.17 (at 10 kHz), and a leakage current density (J) of 1.28 × 10−5 A/cm2 (at 25 kV/cm). 相似文献

CuInSe2 (CIS)-based absorber layers have been fabricated on soda-lime glass substrates by co-sputtering Cu/In and evaporating Se.
The effects of annealing in the Se environment on the structural and electrical properties of the CIS layers were studied.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the surface morphology and crystal
structures of the CIS films, respectively. XRD patterns showed that the CIS films had a single chalcopyrite structure with
preferential (112) orientation. The asymmetry of the Se 3d x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) peak for the as-grown films
and a separated peak for the annealed films are indications of the existence of two different valence states in the two kinds
of CIS films. The electrical properties of the CIS films were studied by the four-probe method and Hall measurements. The
results showed that the as-grown films had lower carrier mobility than the annealed films. However, the as-grown films had
higher carrier concentration. 相似文献

n-Type 4H-SiC bulk samples with a net doping concentration of 2.5 × 1017 cm−3 were irradiated at room temperature with 1-MeV electrons. The high doping concentration plus a reverse bias of up to −13 V
ensures high electric field in the depletion region. The dependence of the emission rate on the electric field in the depletion
region was measured using deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and double-correlation deep-level transient spectroscopy
(DDLTS). The experimental data are adequately described by the phonon-assisted tunneling model proposed by Karpus and Pere. 相似文献

In this work, Bi2Te3-Sb2Te3 superlattices were prepared by the nanoalloying approach. Very thin layers of Bi, Sb, and Te were deposited on cold substrates,
rebuilding the crystal structure of V2VI3 compounds. Nanoalloyed super- lattices consisting of alternating Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 layers were grown with a thickness of 9 nm for the individual layers. The as-grown layers were annealed under different conditions
to optimize the thermoelectric parameters. The obtained layers were investigated in their as-grown and annealed states using
x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), and electrical measurements. A lower limit of the elemental layer thickness was found to have c-orientation. Pure nanoalloyed Sb2Te3 layers were p-type as expected; however, it was impossible to synthesize p-type Bi2Te3 layers. Hence the Bi2Te3-Sb2Te3 superlattices consisting of alternating n- and p-type layers showed poor thermoelectric properties. 相似文献

Highly sensitive CO gas sensors based on heterocontacts of ZnO:Al on La0.8Sr0.2Co0.5Ni0.5O3 (LSCNO) were fabricated successfully. La0.8Sr0.2Co0.5Ni0.5O3 thin films were coated on (100) silicon wafers by a sol-gel method including the Pechini process followed by a spin-coating
procedure. Then, ZnO:Al films prepared by radiofrequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at various oxygen partial pressures and
deposited on as-deposited La0.8Sr0.2Co0.5Ni0.5O3 films were investigated. The results revealed that the CO sensing ability of the film prepared with the ratio of O2/Ar = 5/5 (ratio of volume flow rate) was the worst, owing to the highest (002) plane orientation in the ZnO:Al film. In contrast,
the ZnO:Al film prepared with O2/Ar = 3/7 exhibited better CO sensitivity. Furthermore, all two-layer samples showed higher CO sensitivities than single-layer
samples. The CO sensitivity of ZnO:Al/La0.8Sr0.2Co0.5Ni0.5O3 thin film was 45% for 500 ppm CO at a sensing temperature of 200°C. 相似文献

Metal-insulator-silicon capacitors have been fabricated using novel insulators of SiO2/HfO2-Al2O3-HfO2 (HAH)/Al2O3 and metallic HfN gate, exhibiting a program-erasable characteristic. The memory capacitor presents a large memory window
of 2.4 V under +12 V program/–14 V erase for 10 ms, no erase saturation, and sufficient electron- and hole-trapping efficiencies
such as an electron density of ∼7 × 1012 cm–2 under 13 V program for 0.5 ms and a hole density of ∼4 × 1012 cm–2 under –12 V erase for 0.5 ms. The observed properties are attributed to the introduction of high permittivity atomic-layer-deposited
HAH/Al2O3 as well as high work function HfN gate. The related mechanism is addressed accordingly. 相似文献

Flash evaporation is used to grow Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 films 1200 nm thick on mica substrates. The average lateral crystallite sizes in the as-grown films are ~800 nm. The (0001) plane in the crystallites is preferentially parallel to the substrate plane. After heat treatment in an argon atmosphere, the effective lateral size of crystallites in which the third-order axis is perpendicular to the substrate plane increased by a factor of 3–5. The crystallites were preferentially oriented in the substrate plane as well. The thermoelectric-power parameter of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 films after their heat treatment in an inert environment increased approximately twofold to values close to that of the corresponding single crystals. 相似文献

Nitrogen-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) films for nonvolatile memories were prepared by reactive sputtering with a GST alloy target. Doped nitrogen content
was determined by using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The crystallization behavior of the films was investigated
by analyzing x-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results show that nitrogen doping increases
crystallization temperature, crystallization-activation energy, and phase transformation temperature from fcc to hexagonal
(hex) structure. Doped nitrogen probably exists in the grain vacancies or grain boundaries and suppresses grain growth. The
electrical properties of the films were studied by analyzing the optical band gap and the dependence of the resistivity on
the annealing temperature. The optical band gap of the nitrogen-doped GST film is slightly larger than that of the pure GST
film. Energy band theory is used to analyze the effect of doped nitrogen on electrical properties of GST films. Studies reveal
that nitrogen doping increases resistivity and produces three relatively stable resistivity states in the plot of resistivity
versus annealing temperature, which makes GST-based multilevel storage possible. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of
the devices show that nitrogen doping increases the memory’s dynamic resistance, which reduces writing current from milliampere
to microampere. 相似文献

Epitaxial PZT (001) thin films with a LaNiO3 bottom electrode were deposited by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering onto Si(001) single-crystal substrates with SrTiO3/TiN buffer layers. Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) samples were shown to consist of a single perovskite phase and to have an (001) orientation. The orientation relationship
was determined to be PZT(001)[110]∥LaNiO3(001)[110]∥SrTiO3 (001)[110]∥TiN(001)[110]∥Si(001)[110]. Atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements showed the PZT films to have smooth surfaces
with a roughness of 1.15 nm. The microstructure of the multilayer was studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Electrical measurements were conducted using both Pt and LaNiO3 as top electrodes. The measured remanent polarization P
r and coercive field E
c of the PZT thin film with Pt top electrodes were 23 μC/cm2 and 75 kV/cm, and were 25 μC/cm2 and 60 kV/cm for the PZT film with LaNiO3 top electrodes. No obvious fatigue after 1010 switching cycles indicated good electrical endurance of the PZT films using LaNiO3 electrodes, compared with the PZT film with Pt top electrodes showing a significant polarization loss after 108 cycles. These PZT films with LaNiO3 electrodes could be potential recording media for probe-based high-density data storage. 相似文献

By using a He-Cd laser in a chemical solution of H3PO4 with a pH value of 3.5, Ga oxide films were directly grown on n-type GaN. From the energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) measurement
and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, the grown Ga oxide film was identified as (104) α-Ga2O3 structure. A small amount of phosphors existed and bonded with oxygen on the grown films. The as-grown films were amorphous.
From the XRD analysis, it is evident that annealing of the α-Ga2O3 films led to a change in the microstructure from an amorphous to a polycrystalline phase. In addition, the as-grown low-density
films gradually became dense films during the annealing process. Furthermore, the surface roughness of the annealed films
also gradually decreased. Hexagonal pinholes on the grown films were observed. The density of the hexagonal pinholes was similar
to the defect density of the n-type GaN. From the cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs, it is
evident that the hexagonal pinholes originated from defects in the n-type GaN. 相似文献

The ZrO2 films were deposited onto a Si(100) substrate using an alternate reaction of ZrCl4 and O2 under atmospheric pressure. It is found that the growth rate of ZrO2 film depends on the growth conditions, such as growth temperature, partial pressure of the sources being supplied, and exposure
time of the substrate to the gaseous sources. Self-limiting growth of the ZrO2 was achieved in the range of the growth temperature of 673–923 K. The x-ray diffractogram of the ZrO2 films showed a typical diffraction pattern assigned to the tetragonal polycrystalline phase. The obtained ZrO2 films were of smooth and uniform surface. It was found that the [O]/[Zr] ratio of the ZrO2 films are similar to that of the ZrO2 bulk. 相似文献

Indium sulfide (In2S3) thin films were deposited on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) by chemical bath deposition (CBD). The materials were characterized
by ultraviolet (UV)–visible spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) to investigate the influence of the polymeric substrate on
the resulting thin In2S3. The films showed polycrystalline (cubic and tetragonal) structure. A reduction of the ordering of the polymeric chains at
the surface of the PEN was also observed, demonstrated by the appearance of two infrared bands at 1094 cm−1 and 1266 cm−1. Presence of oxygen during the early stages of In2S3 growth was also identified. We propose a reaction mechanism for both the equilibrium and nucleation stages. These results
demonstrate that In2S3 can be deposited at room temperature on a flexible substrate. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline zinc-blende-structured ZnSe:N films have been deposited on GaAs(100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition
(PLD). The growth of the nanocrystalline ZnSe:N films is found to be greatly affected by the pressure of ambient N2. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results show that the morphologies of the
as-grown films are sensitive to the ambient pressure at a fixed substrate temperature of 300 °C, and the sizes of the as-grown
ZnSe:N nanocrystals increase as the ambient pressure increases from 0.1 Pa to 100 Pa. The average sizes of the as-grown nanocrystals
are estimated to be about 19 nm, 29 nm, and 71 nm for 0.1 Pa, 1 Pa, and 100 Pa ambient N2 pressure, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses show that the N-doping concentration in the as-grown film
is over 1021 cm−3. Raman spectra demonstrate the broadening of the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon and transverse optical (TO) phonon modes
of the ZnSe nanocrystals. Based on these analyses, the mechanism of the formation of ZnSe:N nanocrystals is discussed. 相似文献

An electron trap with a thermal activation energy of 0.83 eV from the conduction band is common in the deep level transient
spectroscopy (DLTS) spectra of vapor phase epitaxial (VPE) n-GaAs, but is not observed in the DLTS spectra of as-grown molecular
beam epitaxial (MBE) n-GaAs. We show here that this trap is created during high temperature annealing of MBE samples with
a Si3N4, encapsulant. The trap concentration is correlated with the annealing temperature and time, suggesting the outdiffusion of
a constituent atom resulting in the formation of a vacancy or vacancy-complex. Other electron traps observed in the DLTS spectra
of asgrown MBE n-GaAs are annealed out for temperatures at or above 800° C. 相似文献

Various reductants and surfactants were used to investigate their effects on the structure of Bi2Te3 nanopowders prepared via hydrothermal synthesis at 150°C for 24 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy
(TEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were applied to analyze the phase distributions, microstructures,
and grain sizes of the as-grown Bi2Te3. The results showed that the grain sizes and morphologies of the synthesized powders were mainly related to the effects of
the reductants on the nucleation rate and the surface-adsorbed energy of the diverse surfactants on special crystal planes.
Some surfactants could control the growth of the Bi2Te3 crystals and promote one-dimensional growth of nanorods during hydrothermal synthesis. 相似文献

We report on the experimental investigation of the potential of InGaN alloys as thermoelectric (TE) materials. We have grown
undoped and Si-doped In0.3Ga0.7N alloys by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and measured the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of the
grown films with the aim of maximizing the power factor (P). It was found that P decreases as electron concentration (n) increases. The maximum value for P was found to be 7.3 × 10−4 W/m K2 at 750 K in an undoped sample with corresponding values of Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of 280 μV/K and 93␣(Ω cm)−1, respectively. Further enhancement in P is expected by improving the InGaN material quality and conductivity control by reducing background electron concentration. 相似文献

In0.5Al0.5P lattice-matched to GaAs and In0.5A10.5As lattice-matched to InP epilayers were grown by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (AP-MOCVD).
The effect of trimethylindium on the purity of the as-grown layers was systematically studied using secondary ion mass spectroscopy
(SIMS), deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. The SIMS results showed that
oxygen is the main impurity in all layers and the oxygen concentration in InAlP was approximately one to four orders of magnitude
higher than the oxygen concentration found in InALAs when the same indium source was used, indicating that more oxygen was
introduced by the phosphine source than by the arsine source. Two electron traps in the InAlP epilayers and four electron
traps in the InALAs epilayers were observed in this study. When a high-purity indium source was used, the best InAlP epilayer
showed only one deep electron trap at 0.50 eV while the best InALAs epilayer showed no deep levels measured by DLTS. In addition,
we also found that a high concentration of oxygen is related to the high resistivity in both material systems; this suggests
that semi-insulating (SI) materials can be achieved by oxygen doping and high quality conducting materials can only be obtained
through the reduction of oxygen. The oxygen concentration measured by SIMS in the best InALAs epilayer was as low as 3 × 1017 cm−3. 相似文献

:H films of different compositions grown on glass and silicon substrates using plasma-chemical vapor deposition at a temperature
of 380°C have been subjected to pulsed laser annealings. The treatments are performed using titanium-sapphire laser radiation
with a wavelength of 800 nm and a pulse duration of 30 fs. Structural changes in the films are studied using Raman spectroscopy.
Amorphous silicon nanoclusters are detected in as-grown films with molar fractions of excess silicon of ∼1/5 and larger. Conditions
required for pulsed crystallization of nanoclusters were determined. According to the Raman data, no silicon clusters were
detected in as-grown films with a small amount of excess silicon (x > 1.25). Pulsed treatments resulted in the formation of silicon nanoclusters 1–2 nm in size in these films. 相似文献
