Increase of island density via formation of secondary ordered islands on pit-patterned Si (001) substrates

Journal Article Zhong, Z ; Schmidt, O G ; Bauer, G ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Site-controlled groups of Ge islands are grown on pit-patterned Si (001) substrates. By varying the deposited amount of Ge, we find that the growth starts with the formation of a single island at the pit bottom and then proceeds to the formation of a highly symmetric Ge island group around the pit top. A bimodal size distribution of dome-shaped islands at the bottom and at the top corners of the pits is observed. A growth mechanism is proposed to qualitatively explain these phenomena. Our experiments help to promote a further understanding of Ge island growth on patterned substrates.

Nucleation and Growth of MOCVD Grown (Cr, Zn)O Films – Uniform Doping vs. Secondary Phase Formation

Journal Article Saraf, Laxmikant V ; Engelhard, Mark H ; Nachimuthu, Ponnusamy ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 154(3):D134-D138

We report a detailed study of chromium solubility and secondary phase formation in MOCVD grown (Cr, Zn)O-based films on silicon (100). Simultaneous deposition of 0.15M Cr(TMHD) and 0.025M Zn(TMHD) based precursors in an oxidizing environment with a flow ratio of 1:10 resulted in secondary phase formation rather than uniform Cr doping. Based on several surface and micro-structural techniques, we have identified nano-crystalline ZnCr2O4 and disordered Cr2O3 as the secondary Cr-containing phases that nucleate. Analysis suggests that ZnCr2O4 crystallites are dispersed throughout the film and that disordered Cr2O3 layer may form at the interface. These results reveal a strong tendency formore »« less

Nucleation and Growth of MOCVD Grown (Cr, Zn)O Films: Uniform Doping vs Secondary Phase Formation

Journal Article Saraf, L V ; Engelhard, M H ; Nachimuthu, P ; ... - J. Electrochem. Soc.

We have investigated Cr solubility and secondary phase formation in metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) grown (Cr, Zn)O films on Si(100). Simultaneous deposition of 0.15 M Cr(TMHD) and 0.025 M Zn(TMHD) precursors in an oxidizing environment with a flow ratio of 1:10 resulted in secondary phase formation rather than uniform Cr doping. Based on several surface and microstructural techniques, we have identified nanocrystalline ZnCr{sub 2}O{sub 4} and disordered Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} as the secondary Cr-containing phases. Analysis suggests that ZnCr{sub 2}O{sub 4} crystallites are dispersed throughout the film, and that disordered Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} layer may form at the interface.more »« less

Texture formation in FePt thin films via thermal stress management

Journal Article Rasmussen, P ; Rui, X ; Shield, J E - Applied Physics Letters

The transformation variant of the fcc to fct transformation in FePt thin films was tailored by controlling the stresses in the thin films, thereby allowing selection of in- or out-of-plane c-axis orientation. FePt thin films were deposited at ambient temperature on several substrates with differing coefficients of thermal expansion relative to the FePt, which generated thermal stresses during the ordering heat treatment. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed preferential out-of-plane c-axis orientation for FePt films deposited on substrates with a similar coefficients of thermal expansion, and random orientation for FePt films deposited on substrates with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion,more »« less
