ABSTRACTPartially ionized beam (PIB) deposition technique was used to deposit Al thin film on Si(n) substrate. The fabricated Schottky diodes showed an anomalous C-V characteristics for the Al films deposited with a bias potential equal to 2.5kV. The 1/C2 vs. V plot showed a drastic decrease in the slope as compared to the diodes deposited without the bias potential. Further measurements showed a frequency dependence in the C-V characteristics. This anomalous C-V characteristics can be explained by the formation of a p-n junction diode underneath the Si surface. A model of self-ion implantation which explains the formation of this surface p-layer on the Si(n) substrate is proposed and tested.

The microstructure of Al films deposited on SiO2 using the partially ionized beam (PIB) deposition technique is studied. It is shown that by employing less than 1% ions (ion-to-atom ratio) derived from the evaporated material and about 1–2 kV bias voltage at the substrate during deposition, one can grow highly (111) oriented Al films at room temperature. For a fixed bias potential, the value of the ion-to-atom ratio to achieve the optimum orientation effect is determined. At the optimum condition for the (111) preferred orientation growth, no significant enhancement in the grain size is observed. It is also found that a drastic reduction in the degree of the preferred orientation occurs when the films are deposited at a substrate temperature greater than 150 °C.

AbstractThe Partially ionized beam (PIB) deposition technique was used to deposit CoGe2 thin films heteroepitaxially on GaAs(100) substrates in a conventional vacuum. For the CoGe2(001)/GaAs(100) system, which leads to an Ohmic contact, a substrate temperature of 280°C and ∼1200 eV Ge+ ions are required. Reducing the ion energy or lowering the substrate temperature both produce a different orientation in the films. Films deposited at 280°C with a zero accelerating potential for the ions, and those deposited at 200°C with -1200 eV Ge+ ions result in a CoGe2(100)//GaAs(100) type orientation domination, leading to rectifying behavior.

AbstractIt has been shown recently that using less than a few percent of self-ions, i.e., ions derived from the deposition material itself, (partially ionized beam (PIB) deposition), one can dramatically modify thin film properties. In this paper we discuss phenomena such as surface cleaning, enhanced surface ordering, and ion-induced surface damage associated with PIB-surface interactions. PIB metal deposition has been emphasized.
