The dielectric and polar properties of thin films of aluminum nitride (AlN) epitaxially grown on variously oriented p-type silicon substrates with a buffer sublayer of silicon carbide (SiC), as well as on vicinal planes, are studied. According to the results of studies of the polar properties by two independent methods — the dynamic pyroelectric effect and piezoelectric force microscopy, it was shown that the use of a SiC buffer layer significantly improves the polar properties of thin layers of aluminum nitride.

Abstract Scanning Microwave Impedance Microscopy (sMIM) can be used to characterize dielectric thin films and to quantitatively discern film thickness differences. FEM modeling of the sMIM response provides understanding of how to connect the measured sMIM signals to the underlying properties of the dielectric film and its substrate. Modeling shows that sMIM can be used to characterize a range of dielectric film thicknesses spanning both low-k and medium-k dielectric constants. A model system consisting of SiO2 thin films of various thickness on silicon substrates is used to illustrate the technique experimentally.

AbstractA refined thernodynamic analysis of the reaction between molen Al and SiC is presented. The calculations indicate much higher Si concentrations for saturation with respect to AkC 3 formation than previously reported. Preliminary microstructural studies confirm the formation of interfacial A14C3 for pure Al thin films on SiC reacted at 9000C. The implications of the calculations and experimental observations for the production of ohmic contacts to p-type SiC are discussed.
