ABSTRACTAmorphous SiSx:H (x ∼ 2) films have been synthesized from H2S and SiH4 precursors using a remote plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition apparatus. Structural studies by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Raman scattering reveal that the atomic environments in these materials are similar to those observed in melt-quenched silicon sulfide glasses, and are characterized by corner- and edge-shared SiS4/2 tetrahedra. Compared to these glasses, however, the films show consistently higher fractions of corner-sharing S1S4/2 tetrahedra. The ratio of corner- to edge sharing tetrahedra and the Si:S ratio can be influenced by the H2S/S1H4 flow rate ratio during deposition. Thus, PECVD opens up wider opportunities for structural tailoring of amorphous silicon sulfide materials than currently possible by means of the melt-quenching method. Preliminary data for the PECVD synthesis of phosphorus sulfide is also presented.

ABSTRACTThe parameters necessary to deposit oriented rhombohedral boron phosphide (B12P2) thin films on on-axis Si-face 6H-SiC(0001) substrates by chemical vapor deposition are reported. Ultra high purity BBr3 and PBr3 were used as reactants, with hydrogen as the carrier gas. The BBr3 to PBr3 flow rate ratio was adjusted to obtain good surface morphology of the B12P2 films. BBr3 to PBr3 ratios in the range of 1 to 1.5 produced smooth surfaces and moderate growth rates of 10μm/hr. Higher growth rates were obtained by increasing the BBr3 flow rate, but the surfaces became very rough. The c-axis of the B12P2 film was aligned with the c -axis of the substrate at temperatures between 1650°C-1700°C. The surface morphologies were investigated by SEM and the crystalline properties of the films were characterized by XRD and Raman spectroscopy.

Nitrogen incorporated hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:N:H) thin films have been deposited by microwave surface-wave plasma chemical vapor deposition on silicon and quartz substrates, using helium, methane and nitrogen ( N 2) as plasma source. The deposited a-C:N:H films were characterized by their optical, structural and electrical properties through UV/VIS/NIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscope and current-voltage characteristics. The optical band gap decreased gently from 3.0 eV to 2.5 eV with increasing N 2 concentration in the films. The a-C:N:H film shows significantly higher electrical conductivity compared to that of N 2-free a-C:H film.
