Growth of SiC thin films on (100) and (111) silicon by pulsed laser deposition combined with a vacuum annealing process

Conference Huang, J ; Wang, L ; Wen, J ; ...

Crystalline 3C-SiC thin films were successfully grown on (100) and (111) Si substrates by using ArF pulsed laser ablation from a SiC ceramic target combined with a vacuum annealing process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were employed to study the effect of annealing on the structure of thin films deposited at 800 C. It was demonstrated that vacuum annealing could transform the amorphous SiC films into crystalline phase and that the crystallinity was strongly dependent on the annealing temperature. For the samples deposited on (100) and (111) Si, the optimum annealing temperatures were 980 and 920more »« less
Preparation of {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} thin films by electron cyclotron resonance plasma-assisted pulsed laser deposition and heat annealing

Journal Article Yu, D ; Lu, Y F ; Xu, N ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

Optically transparent {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} thin films were prepared on Si(100) substrates by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma-assisted pulsed laser deposition followed by heat annealing. Oxygen plasma produced through ECR microwave discharge was used to assist reactive deposition of amorphous aluminum oxide thin films from metallic aluminum and the deposited films were then annealed in air at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1100 deg. C. The as-deposited and heat-annealed films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The as-deposited films exhibit an amorphous structure, undergo a phase transition upon heat annealing, and convert tomore »« less

Enhanced electrical properties of pulsed laser-deposited CuIn{sub 0.7}Ga{sub 0.3}Se{sub 2} thin films via processing control

Journal Article Jo, Yeon Hwa ; Mohanty, Bhaskar Chandra ; Cho, Yong Soo - Solar Energy

Polycrystalline CuIn{sub 0.7}Ga{sub 0.3}Se{sub 2} thin films were prepared on soda-lime glass substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with various process parameters such as laser energy, repetition rate and substrate temperature. It was confirmed that there existed a limited laser energy, i.e. less than 300 mJ, to get phase pure CIGS thin films at room temperature. Particularly, even at room temperature, distinct crystalline CIGS phase was observed in the films. Crystallinity of the films improved with increasing substrate temperature as evidenced by the decrease of FWHM from 0.65 degto 0.54 deg. Slightly Cu-rich surface with Cu{sub 2-x}Se phase was confirmedmore »« less

Modeling of thermal, electronic, hydrodynamic, and dynamic deposition processes for pulsed-laser deposition of thin films

Conference Liu, C L ; LeBoeuf, J N ; Wood, R F ; ...

Various physical processes during laser ablation of solids for pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) are studied using a variety of computational techniques. In the course of the authors combined theoretical and experimental effort, they have been trying to work on as many aspects of PLD processes as possible, but with special focus on the following areas: (a) the effects of collisional interactions between the particles in the plume and in the background on the evolving flow field and on thin film growth, (b) interactions between the energetic particles and the growing thin films and their effects on film quality, (c) rapid phasemore »« less

The effect of post-annealing on laser-deposited superconducting Bi--Sr--Ca--Cu--O thin films

Journal Article Kung, P J ; Wu, X D ; Muenchausen, R E ; ... - Journal of Materials Research; (United States)

Superconducting Bi--Sr--Ca--Cu--O thin films were obtained from post-annealing partially crystallized and amorphous films grown on MgO (100) by pulsed laser deposition. The substrate temperature investigated was in the range of 350--750 [degree]C, over a range of pressure 0.1 to 100 mTorr. The as-deposited films were annealed in 7.5 vol% O[sub 2]/Ar or in air at 800--865 [degree]C from several minutes to a few hours. Unlike the pure Bi[sub 2]Sr[sub 2]CaCu[sub 2]O[sub 8+[delta]] (2212) phase ([ital T][sub [ital c]]=80 K) which is easily formed after a long continuous period of post-annealing at temperature below 830 [degree]C, the formation of (Bi,Pb)[sub 2]Sr[submore »« less
