A variety of oxygen-containing diatomic dications XO2+ can be produced in the gas phase by prolonged high-current 16O− ion surface bombardment (oxygen ion beam sputtering) of a wide range of sample materials. These gas-phase species were detected by mass spectrometry at half-integer m/z values for ion flight times of the order of ∼10−5 s. Examples provided here include ion mass spectra of AsO2+, GaO2+, SbO2+, AgO2+, CrO2+ and BeO2+. A detailed theoretical study of the diatomic dication system BeO2+ is also presented.

ABSTRACTOxygen ion beam bombardment has been studied as a means for incorporating oxygen into thin films of Y-Ba-Cu-oxide either by enhancing the transport of oxygen to substrates during ion-beam sputtering, or by direct incorporation of oxygen with ion-assisted deposition. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to study the ion-beam bombardment of bulk superconducting targets as the oxygen content of the ion beam was varied. This study showed that oxygen did not directly combine with metallic elements in the target to increase the oxygen content of the stream of particles moving toward the substrate. Addition of a second ion beam directing oxygen ions toward the substrate during film growth caused large variations in the stoichiometry of the deposited films. At low oxygen ion currents, no increase in the oxygen content of the films was detected, while at relatively high currents, the oxygen incorporation increased. However, the sputtering of the metallic components of the film increased as the oxygen beam current increased, leading to very low growth rates.

AbstractLead based thin ferroelectric films have been prepared using both sol-gel and dual ion beam sputtering (DIBS) processes. Material compositions within the PbTiO3 and PLZT system have been deposited by both techniques onto metallised silicon. By using a standard sol-gel prepared solution, modified with acetylacetone and spin-coating, lµm thick fully perovskite layers, were obtained at low temperature (450°) with some preferred orientation. The grain size was in the range 0.2-0.4µm. A dielectric constant of 400 and a reversible pyroelectric coefficient of 1.2 × 10−4Cm−2K−1 were obtained. In contrast, a range of capping layers (SiO2, A12O3, BPSG) on silicon have been investigated using the DIBS process. Highly crystalline (100) and (111) films were readily produced at temperatures in excess of 550°, at a growth rate of 0.3µm/hour. Control of stoichiometry has also been studied in detail, by sputtering of a composite metal-ceramic target with a high energy Kr beam and by bombarding the growing film with a low energy oxygen ion-beam. Dielectric constants of 200-300, losses below 0.015 and resistivities above 1010Ωm have been achieved. A pyroelectric coefficient of the order of 2.5 × 10−4Cm−2K-1, pre-poled for a La-doped film on BPSG capped Si was obtained, which did not increase significantly on poling.

The growth of Ag films deposited on various substrate materials such as MoS2, mica, graphite, and MgO has been investigated extensively using the in situ electron microscopy technique. The three stages of film growth, namely, the nucleation, growth of islands followed by liquid-like coalescence have been observed in both the vacuum vapor deposited and ion beam sputtered thin films. The mechanisms of nucleation and growth of silver films formed by ion beam sputtering on the (111) plane of silicon comprise the subject of this paper. A novel mode of epitaxial growth is observed to that seen previously.The experimental arrangement for the present study is the same as previous experiments, and the preparation procedure for obtaining thin silicon substrate is presented in a separate paper.
