AbstractWsi2 films were prepared by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in the temperature range of 800 -1400 °C for time durations of 15 sec -3 minutes. In some of the treatment experiments different gases were involved and a conclusion is made about the role of hydrogen favoring Wsi crystal phase growing at 800 °C. W films with thichnesses in the range 200 Å - 1000 Å were deposited on monocrystalline Si by pyrolitical decomposition of W(CO)6 in CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure and argon atmosphere. Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) technics were used for structural characterization and FPP-100 device for resistance measurements. Results show that by solid state reaction applied at different RTA processes WSi2 phase could be formed.Resistivities as low as 2-3 mΩ.cm are obtained for 800 -1000 °C.

ABSTRACTVarious characterization techniques are applied to pulsed and cw laser-annealed polysilicon layers deposited on oxide layers. The results are used to compare these techniques as to the type and completeness of information provided, as well as sample preparation requirements and general ease or difficulty of measurement. The techniques employed include scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron channeling micrographs and selected area channeling patterns (SACP), reflection (high energy) electron diffraction (RHEED), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area diffraction (SAD), x-ray diffraction, optical techniques and etching techniques.

Abstract(2×4) and c(4×4) reconstructed GaAs(001) surfaces prepared by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) were studied by Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED). A method for accurate determination of the Arsenic coverage of reconstructed GaAs(001) surfaces is introduced. The time of Gallium supply to the reconstructed surface until a halo appears in the RHEED pattern is taken as measure for the Arsenic coverage. Structures between them were investigated at a substrate temperature of 200°C. The RHEED results were verified by High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy (HRSEM). Dependent on the surface reconstruction, Arsenic coverages between 0.76 and 1.22 monolayer (ML) were observed. Surface structures, observed during transformation between β(2×4) and c(4×4) will be discussed.

ABSTRACTGallium nitride films have been deposited on Si(100) and Al2O3(0001) substrates using triethylgallium and ammonia seeded into highly expanded helium gas streams. A two step deposition process that reproducibly results in continuous crystalline GaN films has been developed. The microstructure and composition of the resultant films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, reflection high energy electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy and film character was correlated to deposition conditions.

ABSTRACTIt is shown that antiphase boundary (APB) is annihilated during the growth, by monitoring the surface with reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). The RHEED observation indicates that double domain GaAs changes to single domain within a thickness of 100 nm, while the transition region is estimated to exist within 200 nm from GaAs-Si interface by scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation of etch pits on vicinally polished surface. The self-annihilation mechanism of APB is discussed from these results.

ABSTRACTThe transition from anatase to rutile crystalline phase and from continuous to porous morphology was observed by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively, in anodic TiO2 layers as the time of anodization was increased. The mechanism of the PV formation changes from trap- limited PV in thin continuous layers to diffusion PV in thick porous layers. The generation of excess charge carriers and their subsequent separation in space are strongly dependent on the ambience (air, vacuum, water) in porous layers. The importance of polar water molecules for screening of surface ions of porous TiO2 and excess charge carriers separated in space is discussed.
