The microstructure of Al films deposited on SiO2 using the partially ionized beam (PIB) deposition technique is studied. It is shown that by employing less than 1% ions (ion-to-atom ratio) derived from the evaporated material and about 1–2 kV bias voltage at the substrate during deposition, one can grow highly (111) oriented Al films at room temperature. For a fixed bias potential, the value of the ion-to-atom ratio to achieve the optimum orientation effect is determined. At the optimum condition for the (111) preferred orientation growth, no significant enhancement in the grain size is observed. It is also found that a drastic reduction in the degree of the preferred orientation occurs when the films are deposited at a substrate temperature greater than 150 °C.

AbstractThe Partially ionized beam (PIB) deposition technique was used to deposit CoGe2 thin films heteroepitaxially on GaAs(100) substrates in a conventional vacuum. For the CoGe2(001)/GaAs(100) system, which leads to an Ohmic contact, a substrate temperature of 280°C and ∼1200 eV Ge+ ions are required. Reducing the ion energy or lowering the substrate temperature both produce a different orientation in the films. Films deposited at 280°C with a zero accelerating potential for the ions, and those deposited at 200°C with -1200 eV Ge+ ions result in a CoGe2(100)//GaAs(100) type orientation domination, leading to rectifying behavior.

The epitaxial growth of Cu on Si(111) substrate at room temperature was achieved using the Partially Ionized Beam (PIB) deposition technique in a conventional (10−4 Pa) vacuum without prior in situ cleaning of the substrate or post-annealing of the film. The beam contained ≍2% of Cu self-ions, and a bias of 0 to 4.2 kV was applied to the substrate during deposition. X-ray diffraction studies showed the existence of a twin structure in the epitaxial Cu layer deposited at 1 kV. A mechanism of epitaxial growth of Cu(111) on Si(111) substrate via an η″—Cu3Si intermediate phase is proposed. Based on the crystal structure of η″—Cu3Si, it is demonstrated that the geometrical lattice matching concept provides a simple picture of lattice continuity at the interface in this epitaxial system.
