ABSTRACTWe present first results combining models at continuum and atomistic (DFT) levels to improve understanding of key mechanisms involved in silicon nanodots (NDs) synthesis on SiO2 by Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) from silane SiH4. In particular, by simulating an industrial LPCVD reactor using the CFD code Fluent, we find that the deposition time could be increased and then the reproducibility and uniformity of NDs deposition could be improved when highly diluting silane in a carrier gas. A consequence of this high dilution seems to be that the contribution to deposition of unsaturated species such as silylene SiH2 highly increases. This result is important since our first DFT calculations have shown that silicon chemisorption on silanol Si-OH or siloxane Si-O-Si bonds present on SiO2 substrates could only proceed from silylene (and probably from other unsaturated species). The silane saturated molecule could only contribute to NDs growth, i.e. silicon chemisorption on already deposited silicon bonds. Increasing silylene contribution to deposition in highly diluting silane could then also exalt silicon nucleation on SiO2 substrates and then increase NDs density.

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.

AbstractWe have studied the nucleation and growth of alumina by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The deposition of alumina films was carried out on Si(100) in a horizontal, hot-wall, low pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor, using aluminum acetylacetonate{Al(acac)3}as the CVD precursor. We have investigated growth of alumina films as a function of different CVD parameters such as substrate temperature and total reactor pressure during film growth. Films were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cross-sectional SEM, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) compositional depth profiling. The chemical analysis reveals that the carbon is present throughout the depth of the films.

In order to clarify the effect of bias treatments on the highly oriented growth of diamond, we investigated the relation between the silicon surface morphology changes after applying a bias voltage, and the orientation of the diamond crystallites after growth. We report two major findings. First, a textured structure on the Si surface after the bias pretreatment was found to be a necessary but insufficient indicator for the subsequent growth of highly oriented diamond. Second, although bias pretreatments effectively enhance nucleation, we did not find a clear relationship between the nucleation density and the percentage of oriented crystallites. The highest nucleation densities resulted in randomly oriented films. We conclude that bias pretreatments affect the nucleation enhancement and the diamond orientation through different mechanisms.
