ABSTRACTThis work presents a comparison of the structural, chemical and electronic properties of multi-layer graphene grown on SiC(000-1) by using two different growth approaches: thermal decomposition and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The topography of the samples was investigated by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to examine the sample on a large scale. Raman spectroscopy was used to assess the crystallinity and electronic behavior of the multi-layer graphene and to estimate its thickness in a non-invasive way. While the crystallinity of the samples obtained with the two different approaches is comparable, our results indicate that the CVD method allows for a better thickness control of the grown graphene.

AbstractThe initial stages of microcrystalline silicon growth of n+ doped films prepared by rf plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and of intrinsic films prepared by hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HW-CVD) are studied using atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and parallel dark conductivity measurements. The effect of the use of a plasma hydrogen treatment, of chamber conditioning prior to this treatment, of the type of substrate (glass or c-Si) used and the effects of a seed layer on the film properties are discussed.

Morphology of twinned diamond particles grown by chemical vapor deposition was characterized by atomic force microscopy in both contact and tapping modes. Quantitative angle measurements using a surface normal algorithm were performed on untwinned crystals, penetration twins, re-entrant corners, and fivefold dimples. Tip-sample interaction is discussed. The morphology of the penetration twins and some of the re-entrant corners can be explained by low order Σ3 twins and flat crystallographic surfaces. Abnormally shallow re-entrants with large vicinal faces are attributed to rapid nucleation of new layers at a point along the re-entrant intersection.
