Abstract

In remote microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition processes operated at atmospheric pressure, high deposition rates are associated with the localization of precursors on the treated surface. We show that mass transport can be advantageously ensured by convection for the heavier precursor, the lighter being driven by turbulent diffusion toward the surface. Transport by laminar diffusion is negligible. The use of high flow rates is mandatory to have a good mixing of species. The use of an injection nozzle with micrometer-sized hole enables us to define accurately the reaction area between the reactive species. The localization of the flow leads to high deposition rates by confining the reactive species over a small area, the deposition yield being therefore very high. Increasing the temperature modifies nonlinearly the deposition rates and the coating properties.

Interface formation during the yttrium oxide deposition on Si by pulsed liquid-injection plasma enhanced metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

Journal Article Durand, C ; Vallee, C ; Dubourdieu, C ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

In this article, we investigate the main mechanisms of interfacial SiO{sub 2} and silicate formation during yttrium oxide deposition on Si substrates by plasma-enhanced metal-organic chemical vapor deposition using a pulsed-liquid injection delivery source. The precursor supplier system is based on a sequential injection of Y-precursor diluted in an organic solvent. A detailed study of interface thickness and chemical nature is carried out combining angle-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. We found that the flow rate of injected reactive species, controlled by the injection frequency, has a strong effect on the plasma gas phasemore »« less

Analysis of plume backflow around a nozzle lip in a nuclear rocket

Conference Chung, C H ; Kim, S C ; Stubbs, R M ; ...

The structure of the flow around a nuclear thermal rocket nozzle lip has been investigated using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. Special attention has been paid to the behavior of a small amount of harmful particles that may be present in the rocket exhaust gas. The harmful fission product particles are modeled by four inert gases whose molecular weights are in a range of 4 131. Atomic hydrogen, which exists in the flow due to the extremely high nuclear fuel temperature in the reactor, is also included. It is shown that the plume backflow is primarily determined by themore »« less
Multimode jetting unlocks a trade-off between nanostructure morphology and composition in focused electron beam induced deposition

Journal Article Kim, Songkil ; Henry, Mathias ; Moon, Young Hoon ; ... - Materials Today Communications

An ability to accelerate the growth rate while simultaneously controlling shape and composition of deposits is fundamental to expanding the utility of electron beam assisted deposition for “direct write” nanostructure fabrication from gas phase precursors. Here, we report on novel tunable mode of Focused Electron Beam Induced Deposition (FEBID) as enabled by the switchable use of reactive (O2) and inert (Ar) “assist” gases directed at high impingement energy and momentum to a deposition site concurrently with a supply of a precursor in a dual-nozzle FEBID arrangement.

Using an energized oxygen micro-jet for improved graphene etching by focused electron beam

Journal Article Kim, Songkil ; Henry, Mathias ; Fedorov, Andrei G. - Applied Physics Letters

We report on an improved Focused Electron Beam Induced Etching (FEBIE) process, which exploits heated oxygen delivery via a continuous supersonic micro-jet resulting in faster graphene patterning and better etch feature definition. Positioning a micro-jet in close proximity to a graphene surface with minimal jet spreading due to a continuous regime of gas flow at the exit of the 10 micrometer inner diameter capillary allows for focused exposure of the surface to reactive oxygen at high mass flux and impingement energy of a supersonic gas stream localized to a small etching area exposed to electron beam. These unique benefits ofmore »« less

Cluster size determination in the chemical vapor deposition of aluminum nitride

Journal Article Egashira, Yasuyuki ; Kim, H J ; Komiyama, Hiroshi - Journal of the American Ceramic Society; (United States)

Aluminum nitride was prepared in a laminar-flow, tubular reactor using an atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) method at a reaction temperature ranging from 700 to 1,100 C and AlCl[sub 3] and NH[sub 3] concentrations of 0.4 and 8 mol%, respectively. Films grew on the reactor wall and particles formed in the gas phase. The production rates of films and particles were independently determined. A comprehensive model was constructed to estimate the molecular size of the growth species in the APCVD process to simultaneously form films and particles of AlN from AlCl[sub 3] and NH[sub 3].
