A magnetically-driven method for controlling nanodimensional porosity in sol-gel-derived metal–oxide films, including TiO2, Al2O3, and SnO2, coated onto ferromagnetic amorphous substrates, such as the magnetically-soft Metglas1 alloys, is described. On the basis of the porous structures observed dependence on external magnetic field, a model is suggested to explain the phenomena. Under well-defined conditions it appears that the sol particles coming out of solution, and undergoing Brownian motion, follow the magnetic field lines oriented perpendicularly to the substrate surface associated with the magnetic domain walls of the substrate; hence the porosity developed during solvent evaporation correlates with the magnetic domain size.

AbstractA wide range of electrode materials have been investigated for use in ferroelectric-silicon CMOS technology. Numerous metal and metal-oxide films were deposited on silicon substrates and coated with sol-gel derived ferroelectric thin films. The films were sintered in either a diffusion furnace or by rapid thermal processing. Transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate the evolution of the resulting ferroelectric thin film microstructure and ferroelectric / electrode material interactions.Microstructural differences such as the volume fraction of the ferroelectric perovskite and pyrochlore phase, domains and grain structure are correlated with electrical results. A strong microstructural dependence on the substrate was found for the Cr, Zr, Hf and Ni electrode materials. In general, chromium and other metal-oxide films had high leakage currents and large volume fractions of the non-ferroelectric pyrochlore phase. Nickel electrodes displayed the best electrical results, but the microstructure is very different from the other ferroelectric films.

In this paper the peculiarities of phase composition and morphology of metal oxides synthesized by successive ionic layer deposition (SILD) method are discussed. The main attention is focused on SnO2-based metal oxides, which are promising materials for gas sensor applications. FTIR spectroscopy has shown that the precipitates of metal oxides, deposited by SILD method, are hydroxide, peroxide or hydrated metal oxide-based compounds. After annealing at relatively low temperatures (200-400?C) these compounds release both water and peroxide oxygen and transform into corresponding oxides. According to XRD, SEM and AFM measurements it was confirmed that deposited films had fine-dispersed structures. Only after annealing at Tan>500?C, XRD diffraction peaks, typical for nanocrystalline material with grain size < 6-8 nm, were observed. High roughness and high degree of agglomeration are important peculiarities of metal oxides deposited by SILD. Metal oxide films consist of spherical agglomerates. Degree of agglomeration of the films and agglomerate size could be controlled. It was found that introduction of various additives in the solution for SILD could sufficiently change the microstructure of synthesized metal oxides. .

This document describes the technology of manufacturing metal oxide films ZnO, SnO2, Zn2SnO4 from aqueous solutions of the corresponding salts by spray pyrolysis. The modes and conditions of deposition of metal oxide films on hot (420 °C) glass substrates are given. The electrical parameters of the films were measured by the van der Pau method and by the Hall effect, the surface resistance was in the range from 140 to 85⋅103 Ohm/. The band gap was determined by light absorption spectra and was within 3.2...3.5 eV. For all metal oxides, the n-type conductivity was determined using the thermosonde and the Hall effect.

AbstractSolution deposition processes for the production of thin multi-element metal oxide films continue with great interest and varied success. Solution deposition via either sol-gel or MOD (Metal Organic Decomposition) methods are of interest due to the ability to produce a wide variety of compositional products at low capital investment cost. The sol-gel method generally uses hydrolytically sensitive metal alkoxides as the starting materials. Manipulation of the reagents and different hydrolysis rates for multi-element mixtures are issues. The MOD method utilizes large organic acid metal salts as the starting materials. In general, MOD solutions are more hydrolytically stable than the sol-gel solutions. MOD process challenges include large quantities of carbon to be decomposed during the firing, shrinkage and stress of the thin films, variable chemistry in synthesis of the starting materials (especially when the starting materials for the MOD precursors are metal alkoxides), and long reaction times for the synthesis. For both the sol-gel and MOD precursors, toxic and volatile organic chemical (VOC's) solvents are employed as the vehicle.This paper will review the chemistry-related issues to production of consistent highquality metal oxide films via the MOD process. The fabrication of thin BaxSr(1-x)TiO3 (BST) films is described. A new class of MOD precursor has been implemented using polyether acids as the organic vehicle. These new materials are both water stable and water soluble. High quality BST thin films made from these precursors are described and capacitors made from these films are compared to the aliphatic acid MOD materials. Improved capacitors using lower resistance electrodes and interconnects are described, as well as devices designed specifically for our specific application.
