Microscopic silicon-based lateral high-aspect-ratio structures for thin film conformality analysis

Journal Article Gao, Feng ; Arpiainen, Sanna ; Puurunen, Riikka L., E-mail: riikka.puurunen@vtt.fi - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

Film conformality is one of the major drivers for the interest in atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes. This work presents new silicon-based microscopic lateral high-aspect-ratio (LHAR) test structures for the analysis of the conformality of thin films deposited by ALD and by other chemical vapor deposition means. The microscopic LHAR structures consist of a lateral cavity inside silicon with a roof supported by pillars. The cavity length (e.g., 20–5000 μm) and cavity height (e.g., 200–1000 nm) can be varied, giving aspect ratios of, e.g., 20:1 to 25 000:1. Film conformality can be analyzed with the microscopic LHAR by several means, as demonstrated formore »« less

Analytical Model for Atomic-Layer Deposition of Thin Films on the Walls of Cylindrical Holes with a Relatively High Aspect Ratio

Journal Article Fadeev, A. V., E-mail: AlexVFadeev@gmail.com ; Rudenko, K. V. - Technical Physics

A theoretical model that predicts the thickness of a film grown on the walls of high-aspect-ratio cylindrical hole using the atomic-layer deposition is proposed. The model can be used to calculate the critical time of precursor supply needed for conformal coating of the walls. An analytical model is derived to estimate the minimum time of precursor supply versus parameters of the technological process.

Trade-off between Photon Management Efficacy and Material Quality in Thin-Film Solar Cells on Nanostructured Substrates of High Aspect Ratio Structures

Journal Article Chin, Alan ; Keshavarz, Majid ; Wang, Qi - Applied Sciences

Although texturing of the transparent electrode of thin-film solar cells has long been used to enhance light absorption via light trapping, such texturing has involved low aspect ratio features. With the recent development of nanotechnology, nanostructured substrates enable improved light trapping and enhanced optical absorption via resonances, a process known as photon management, in thin-film solar cells. Despite the progress made in the development of photon management in thin-film solar cells using nanostructures substrates, the structural integrity of the thin-film solar cells deposited onto such nanostructured substrates is rarely considered. Here, we report the observation of the reduction in themore »« less

Non-equilibrium two-dimensional model of excimer-laser melting and solidification of thin Si films on SiO{sub 2}

Book Gupta, V V ; Song, H J ; Im, J S

The authors have developed a two-dimensional numerical model of excimer-laser melting and solidification that properly takes into account the non-equilibrium and transient nature of the process. The model incorporates a novel explicit finite difference scheme for efficiently solving the heat conduction equation and an algorithm that incorporates the interface response function for properly simulating the evolution of phase domains. The model provides space- and time-resolved information regarding the thermal profile and phase domains from which nearly all of the important solidification details can be extracted (e.g., interface location, solidification velocity, interfacial undercooling, etc.). For the simple partial-melting-and-vertical-regrowth scenario, results frommore »« less
