ABSTRACTRutherford backscattering, Raman spectroscopy as well as photoluminescence, resistivity and Hall measurements have been used to investigate the doping behaviour of Scandium and Gallium ions implanted into Silicon Carbide respectively. The recovery of the crystal lattice after implantation at room temperature followed by rapid thermal annealing is shown to be less effective in the case of Scandium compared with Gallium. Scandium implanted SiC exhibited a high resistivity in comparison to Gallium implanted crystals.

AbstractHeterostructure modulation doped transistors (MODFETs) based on AlGaN/GaN structures have demonstrated impressive DC and microwave performance often despite high transistor access resistance. One approach to reducing the access resistance is to use selective area Si-implantation. While several reports exist on Si-implantation in GaN, little work has been done on implantation in AlGaN. In addition, more information on the annealing of implantation damage in GaN is needed to optimize its use in FETs and thyristors.We report the electrical and structural properties of Si-implanted Al0.15Ga0.85N based on Hall measurements and Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) spectra, respectively. Al0.15Ga0.85N shows less damage accumulation than GaN for a room temperature Si-implant dose of 5×1015 cm-2 based on the minimum channeling yield (26% for AlGaN as compared to 34% for GaN), however, as with GaN, this damage is difficult to remove by thermal annealing at °C.

ABSTRACTAblation of ceramic silicon carbide with 351 nm excimer radiation was used to depositSIC films on fused silica and on sapphire. For deposition temperatures above 850° C, diffraction shows the films to be crystalline with the [111] axis preferentially oriented normally to the film. Optical spectra show an indirect energy gap at 2.2 eV, near that for the cubic polytype, although the 200 diffractions are absent. Room temperature resistivities range between .02 to .1 Ωcm. Deposition below 600° C yields amorphous SiC with no diffraction bands, low and variable optical band gap and very high resistivity.

AbstractTransmission electron diffraction patterns of cross-sectional TEM samples of OMVPE ZnSe on GaAs indicate the existence of the hexagonal wurtzite phase in the epitaxial layers. The orientation relationship is (0002)//(111); (1120)//(220). Etching studies indicate the phase is internal not ion milling induced. The average wurtzite particle size is 80Å-120Å. Because of interplanar spacing matches it is easily overlooked. Electrical property measurements show a high resistivity (1010ω/square) which drops by four orders of magnitude upon rapid thermal annealing between 700°C and 900 °C for 3 sec. Implantation of Li and N have little effect on the electrical transport properties. The Li is shown to have a high diffusivity, a solid solubility of ≈1016/cm3 at 800°C and getters to the ZnSeA/aAs interface.

The effect of ion-induced defects on graphene was studied to investigate the contact resistance of 40 nm palladium (Pd) contacting on graphene. The defect development was considered and analyzed by irradiating boron (B), carbon (C), nitrogen (N2), and argon (Ar) ions on as-transferred graphene before metallization. The bombardment energy was set at 1.5 keV and ion dose at 1 × 1014 ions/cm2. The defect yields under different ion irradiation conditions were examined by Raman spectroscopy. Although, dissolution process occurs spontaneously upon metal deposition, chemical reaction between metal and graphene is more pronounced at higher temperatures. The rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment was performed to improve the Pd/graphene contact after annealing at 450 °C, 500 °C, 550 °C, and 600 °C. The lowest contact resistance of 95.2 Ω-µm was achieved at 550 °C RTA with Ar ion irradiation. We have proved that ion irradiation significantly enhance the Pd/graphene contact instead of pd/pristine graphene contact. Therefore, in view of the contention of results ion induced defects before metallization plus the RTA served an excellent purpose to reduce the contact resistance.

AbstractIridium silicide formation by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in an Ar atmosphere or under vacuum has been investigated. The evolution of the silicide front and the identification of the phases were monitored by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS). Oxygen was incorporated during the RTA process in an Ar atmosphere. The oxygen effect is to slow down the silicide formation and eventually to stop it. In all the cases, the oxygen piled-up at the iridium-iridium silicide interface. No distinguishable phase was formed by RTA in an Ar atmosphere. No oxygen contarsi'nation was detected when the RTA was performed under a vacuum lower than 2×10−5 Torr. In this case Ir1Si1 and Ir1Si1.75 phases were formed.
