ABSTRACTWe report on a novel ion beam selenization process. The reactive chalcogen component Se and a significant part of the thermal energy needed for CIGS formation is delivered directly into the growing surface by a low energy Se ion beam from a broad beam ion source. This highly controllable technique with respect to ion energy, dose and uniformity and with scale- up capabilities can be used in two ways either for selenization of metallic Cu/(In,Ga) thin film stacks or in co-deposition. In the case of co-deposition the CIGS growth temperature can be reduced to < 400°CBesides the description of the method we present results of Se ion beam analysis and properties of CIGS thin films, produced by the novel selenization process.

Thin films of a-SiNx:H were deposited using the ion-beam-assisted deposition technique. Silicon was evaporated from a resistively heated carbon crucible while the substrate was bombarded with low-energy ions (100 eV). The feed gas used for the ion source was primarily ammonia (NH3), but a 90% nitrogen, 10% hydrogen mixture was also tried. The nitrogen–hydrogen mixture resulted in nonhydrogenated films. Both the absence of absorption in the IR spectrum owing to oxygen, and the increase in slope of the Tauc plots are evidence of an improvement in film morphology owing to the ion bombardment. The wide band-gap films photoconduct when exposed to UV light. The photoconducting property is lost when the films are exposed to air, and is restored when the samples are thermally annealed in a vacuum.

AbstractTwo types of the ion sources for ion beam assisted deposition using inert gases, oxygen or nitrogen are reported. Their design and operational features are presented. Each of them has the properties of two existing main types of the gridless Hall sources: an end-Hall source and the anode-layer version a closed-drift ion source. Basic distinction of the developed sources is the extended range of ion energies in high-current beam for optimization of deposition, cleaning and etching processes.

Abstract This paper presents a brief overview of our studies on the modification of materials using ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) of metals from vacuum arc discharge plasma in order to form catalytically active and corrosion-resistant layers on the surface. Deposition of metals on different materials with simultaneous mixing of the deposited layer with the substrate surface by accelerated ions of the deposited metal was carried out in an experimental setup with a pulsed electric arc ion source. Catalytic and corrosion properties of the materials with the obtained layers were studied using electrochemical voltammetric measurements. The microstructure and composition of the resulting layers were studied using the SEM, EDX, WD-XRF, XPS, EBSD, and RBS methods.
