AbstractIn this paper the results on p-type ZnS, ZnSe, CdS and CdSe thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition will be discussed. these films were deposited on GaAs substrates. Li-doping has been shown to be effective in producing p-type II-VI thin films, while in-doping is excellent for n-type CdS and CdSe thin films. No post-annealing process was used. these preliminary results suggest a possible new approach through pulsed laser deposition to solve the doping problem of II-VI compound semiconductors.

AbstractThin films of nitride semiconductors are usually grown by means requiring high substrate temperatures. Deposition techniques providing higher kinetic energies of incident species offer an alternative route which might allow growth of good quality films at lower temperatures. Pulsed Laser Deposition can provide higher kinetic energies than most thin film growth methods. However, III-nitride thin films grown by PLD are often nitrogen deficient. We have been able to obtain good stoichiometry for aluminum nitride films even at room temperature by providing atomic nitrogen at low (thermal) energies during growth. Very good orientation can be obtained on (001) sapphire substrates at moderate temperatures (∼ 500 C). AIN films were grown from either AIN or Al targets. We also report on preliminary work by the same method with GaN film growth from a liquid Ga target.

AbstractFerroelectrics are multicomponent materials with a wealth of interesting and useful properties, such as piezoelectricity. The dielectric constant of the BSTO ferroelectrics can be changed by applying an electric field. Variable dielectric constant results in a change in phase velocity in the device allowing it to be tuned in real time for a particular application. The microstructure of the film influences the electronic properties which in turn influences the performance of the film. Ba0.6Sr0.4Ti1-y(A 3+, B5+)yO3 thin films, of nominal thickness of 0.65 μm, were synthesized initially at substrate temperatures of 400°C, and subsequently annealed to 750°C, on LaAlO3 (100) substrates, previously coated with LaSrCoO conductive buffer layer, using the pulsed laser deposition technique. The microstructural and physical characteristics of the postannealed thin films have been studied using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and nano indentation and are reported. Results of capacitance measurements are used to obtain dielectric constant and tunability in the paraelectric (T>Tc) regime.
