This paper reviews work carried out by the authors in developing nanoporous sol-gel films as hosts for semiconductor crystallites, for applications in nonlinear integrated optics, including aspects of fabrication, characterisation and modelling. Particular attention is given to three novel techniques — optospinography, molecular probe ellipsometry and pore capping, as well as prospects that have been raised from their outcome.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the electronic properties of sol-gel derived films on silicon substrates. Our investigation involves SiO2, aluminosilicate and borosili cate oxides on silicon. Seme sol-gel oxides are excellait insulators; seme sol-gel films on silicon also exhibit quite low oxide/silicon interface trap densities. We have also subjected sol-gel films on silicon to 4 Mrad(SiO2) of radiation and have found that these structures appear to be radiation hard (very little radiation induced oxide space charge or interface trap generation). Our results strongly suggest that sol-gel processing could provide insulating films for a variety of microelectronic device applications.

Control over crystallographic orientation in thin films is important, particularly with highly anisotropic structures. Because of its ferroelectric nature, the layered perovskite La2Ti2O7 has interesting piezoelectric and electrooptic properties that may be exploited when films are highly textured. Sol-gel films with an orientation factor of greater than 95% were fabricated without relying on epitaxial (lattice-matching) growth from the substrate. Film orientation and crystallization were confirmed by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and optical measurements. The particle sizes in all precursor solutions were measured by dynamic light scattering experiments. Experimental results indicate that film orientation is a function of precursor solution concentration, size of the molecular clusters in the solution, and film thickness.
