Strontium-modified lead titanate thin films with composition Pb1−xSrxTiO3 were grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates using the polymeric precursor method. The structural phase evolution as a function of the Sr contents was studied using micro-Raman scattering, specular reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The results showed a gradual change from tetragonal to cubic structure, the transition occurring at about x = 0.58. The infrared reflectance spectra showed that the frequency of several peaks decreases as the strontium concentration increases. These features are correlated with a decrease in the tetragonal distortion of the TiO6 octahedra as the strontium concentration increases.

Cu–Mn–Dy resistive thin films were prepared on glass and Al2O3 substrates, which wasachieved by co-sputtering the Cu–Mn alloy and dysprosium targets. The effects of the addition ofdysprosium on the electrical properties and microstructures of annealed Cu–Mn alloy films wereinvestigated. The composition, microstructural and phase evolution of Cu–Mn–Dy films werecharacterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electronmicroscopy and X-ray diffraction. All Cu–Mn–Dy films showed an amorphous structure when theannealing temperature was set at 300 °C. After the annealing temperature was increased to 350 °C,the MnO and Cu phases had a significant presence in the Cu–Mn films. However, no MnO phaseswere observed in Cu–Mn–Dy films at 350 °C. Even Cu–Mn–Dy films annealed at 450 °C showedno MnO phases. This is because Dy addition can suppress MnO formation. Cu–Mn alloy filmswith 40% dysprosium addition that were annealed at 300 °C exhibited a higher resistivity of ∼2100 μΩ·cm with a temperature coefficient of resistance of –85 ppm/°C.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) films were prepared on Si substrates and then aluminum nitride (AlN) films were deposited on ZnO films by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The crystal orientation, crystallite structure and surface morphology of AlN/ZnO films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrum and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was indicated that the AlN films were closely deposited on the ZnO film and had good crystallinity. Moreover, about 1μm-sized crystal particles with high c-axial orientation distributed uniformly on the AlN/ZnO film surface. It was indicated that ZnO could be a promising candidate as buffer layer for preparation of AlN thin films.

In this work we show the results on tile growth and optical characterization of TiO 2 thin films doped with Eu atoms. Eu:TiO2 films were grown at room temperature with different Eu concentrations by sol-gel on Si Corning glass substrates. A different crystalline structure is developed for the films deposited on Corning glass than those deposited on Si as observed from x-ray diffraction experiments. Room and low temperature photoluminescence (PL) was measured by using two different lines (325 and 442 nm) of a HeCd laser. A strong PL signal associated to the 5 D 0→7 F 2 transition from Eu +3 was observed. A better emission was obtained from those films deposited on Si substrates, Finally, the evolution of the PL signal is studied when the samples are annealed at different temperatures in O 2 atmosphere.

ABSTRACTThe formation of TiSi2 thin films on Si has been investigated by in situ x-ray diffraction and by electrical transport. The x-ray results show unequivocally that the staging proceeds through two orthorhombic polytypes of TiSi2 according to the sequence: sputter-deposited metallic Ti films on Si (001) → TiSi2 (C49 structure) → TiSi2 (C54 structure), with no evidence of lower suicides. Electrical transport shows metallic behavior for all phases and distinctive features in the annealing curves which correlate with the structural transformations. Most importantly, the resistivity, characteristically very high for the C49 phase, undergoes a precipitous drop at the C49 → C54 transition. Total energies for both phases are calculated and, consistent with the occurrence of a structural phase transformation, are found not to differ appreciably.

We have studied the effects of deposition conditions on the crystal structure of InN films deposited on Si substrate. InN thin films have been deposited on Si(100) substrates by reactive radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method with pure In target at room temperature. The nitrogen gas pressure, applied RF power and the distance between target and substrate were 2×10-2 Torr, 60 W and 8 cm, respectively. The effects of the Ar–N2 sputtering gas mixture on the structural properties of the films were investigated by using scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.

AbstractSingle-phase polycrystalline PbZrO3 (PZ) thin films, 3000-6000 A thick, have been grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at ≍525°C. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the PZ films grown on (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (Pt/Tgi/Si) showed preferred pseudocubic (110) orientation. In contrast, PZ films grown on 150 A thick PbTiO3 (PT) template layers exhibited a pseudocubic (100) preferred orientation, and PZ films deposited on TiO2 template layers consisted of randomly oriented grains. The PZ films grown on Pt/Ti/Si with or without templates exhibited dielectric constants of 120-200 and loss tangents of 0.01-0.0. The PZ films with (110) orientation exhibited an electric-field-inducedtransformation from the antiferroelectric phase to the ferroelectric phase with a polarization of ≍34 µC/cm2, and the energy that was stored during switching was 7.1 J/cm3. The field needed to excite the ferroelectric state and that needed to revert to the antiferroelectric state were 50 and 250 kV/cm, respectively. Relationships between the MOCVD processing and the film microstructure and properties are discussed.

Mixed phase TiO2 thin films of rutile and anatase type crystal orientations were deposited on Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. When annealed at 800°C at 1 mbar oxygen pressure for 3 h, the deposited films transform into a single phase of rutile type. Structural and morphological studies of the as-deposited and annealed films were performed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy was used for optical characterization of the annealed thin films.

AbstractWe synthesized BiFe1-xMnxO3 (BFMO) for various compositions by sol gel process and thin films were deposited by spin coating on platinum Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. X-ray diffraction shows all the diffraction planes corresponding to rhombohedrally distorted perovskite BiFeO3 structure. The absence of any impurity phase in the films suggests the incorporation Mn ion preferentially to Fe site in the structure for low concentration. Magnetic measurements reveal the formation of ferromagnetic phase at room temperature with increased Mn substitution. On the other hand, ferroelectric polarization decreases with increasing Mn ion concentration. Raman studies suggest the dopant induced structural distortion.
