The synthesis of microcrystalline and nanocrystalline carbon thin films using sulfur as an impurity addition to chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was investigated. Sulfur-incorporated microcrystalline diamond (μc-D:S) and nanocrystalline carbon (n-C:S) thin films were deposited on Mo substrates using methane (CH4), hydrogen (H2), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas feedstocks by hot-filament CVD. These films were grown under systematically varied process parameters, while the methane concentration was fixed at 0.3% and 2% for μc-D:S and n-C:S, respectively, to study the corresponding variations of the films’ microstructure. Through these studies we obtained an integral understanding of the materials grown and learned how to control key material properties. The nanocrystalline nature of the material was proposed to be due to the change in the growth mechanisms in the gas phase (continuous secondary nucleation). The growth rate (G) was found to increase with increasing TS and [H2S] in gas phase, thus following the chemisorption model that describes the surface reactions. One of the propositions for the increase was that H2S increases the production rates of methane and consequent methyl radicals without much of its own consumption, which is almost negligible and increases the carbon-containing species. This is analogous to the increase of G with increasing methane concentration, but for the relatively high S/C ratio used here, there is a possibility of its incorporation in the material, however small. This particular conjecture was verified. In this context, the results are discussed in terms of the decomposition of reactant gases (CH4/H2/H2S) that yield ionized species. The inferences drawn are compared to those grown without sulfur to study the influence of sulfur addition to the CVD.

AbstractAlthough many researchers have studied boron-doped diamond thin films in the past several years, there have been few reports on the effects of doping CVD-grown diamond films with phosphorous. For this work, polycrystalline diamond thin films were grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) on p-type silicon substrates. Phosphorous was introduced into the reaction chamber as an in situ dopant during the growth. The quality and orientation of the diamond thin films were monitored by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Current-voltage (I-V) data as a function of temperature for golddiamond film-silicon-aluminum structures were measured. The activation energy of the phosphorous dopants was calculated to be approximately 0.29 eV.

AbstractIn this work, we report on nucleation and growth of silicon thin films on glass substrate with “five-fold” symmetry and “six-fold” symmetry by ceramics hot wire chemical vapor deposition. We observed “confinement of heat and photon” is a powerful approach in developing silicon thin films with novel structure, i.e. quasicrystalline silicon thin films on glass substrate. We found unambiguously that photons emitted from the hot filament influence the nucleation of nanocrystal silicon that produces new type of silicon thin films with “five-fold” symmetry and “six-fold” symmetry.
