AbstractThe transformations induced by the application of a continuous bias voltage parallel to the growing surface during the sulfur-assisted hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) of nanocrystalline diamond (n-D) films were investigated by Raman spectroscopy (RS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The films were deposited on molybdenum substrates using CH4, H2 and H2S. Bias voltages in the range of 0 – 800 VDC were applied parallel to the substrate surface continuously during deposition. The study revealed a significant improvement in the films' density and a lowering in the defect density of the nanocrystalline diamond structure for parallel bias (PB) voltages above 400V. These high PB conditions cause the preferential removal of electrons from the gaseous environment, thus leading to the net accumulation of positive species in the volume above the growing film, which enhances the secondary nucleation. The nanoscale carbon nuclei self-assemble into carbon nano-clusters with diameters in the range of tens of nanometers, which contain diamond (sp3-bonded C) in their cores and graphitic (sp2-bonded C) enclosures. Hence, the observed improvement in film density and in atomic arrangement appears to be connected to the enhanced presence of positively charged ionic species, consistent with models which propose that positively charged carbon species are the crucial precursors for CVD diamond film growth.

Synthesis Conditions

ABSTRACTNanocrystalline CeO2 thin films were synthesized by Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition using Ce(dpm)4 as precursor. Film growth was accomplished at 150–300°C either in Ar or in Ar-O2 plasmas on SiO2 and Si(100) with the aim of studying the effects of substrate temperature and O2 content on coating characteristics. Film microstructure as a function of the synthesis conditions was investigated by Glancing Incidence X-Ray Diffraction (GIXRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), while surface morphology was analyzed by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Surface and in-depth chemical composition was studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS).

Aluminum Deposition

ABSTRACTThe nucleation of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) on Si (100) surfaces is observed in situ with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Oxygen from oxide on the silicon inhibits the rate of nucleation by reacting with adsorbed TIBA and forming a thin layer of oxidized organometallic. This layer blocks active adsorption sites and prevents further deposition. On a surface without oxide, the TIBA molecules decompose liberating aluminum that can migrate and nucleate into islands opening sites for further adsorption and film growth. By removing the oxide (native or thermal) in selected areas of the surface, the barrier to nucleation is removed and aluminum deposition can occur in a predetermined pattern.
