Indium antimony (InSb) nanowires have been synthesized by chemical vapor deposition and we found that adding gallium as the other evaporation resource can increase the density of nanowires and no doping pollution. For the growth of InSb nanowire, Au film was annealed to form Au nanoparticles as catalysts and explain its catalytic principle. We thought that gallium which coated on the surface of Au nanoparticles assisted nucleation and growth of InSb nanowire in the early stage. The diameter of the InSb nanowires was 60–100nm and 1-5μm in length. The grown nanowires have good crystallinity. We found that the surface of InSb was oxidized, and the main oxide was indium oxide. We discovered the tip morphologies of nanowires are different and discussed the causes of this phenomenon in detail.

3C-SiC, 2H-SiC and their hybrid nanowires were synthesized in a controllable manner via changing CH4 flow rates. It is found that higher CH4 supply facilitates the wurtzite phase growth, while the other phases formed when decreasing the flow rate.

ABSTRACTWe present first results combining models at continuum and atomistic (DFT) levels to improve understanding of key mechanisms involved in silicon nanodots (NDs) synthesis on SiO2 by Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) from silane SiH4. In particular, by simulating an industrial LPCVD reactor using the CFD code Fluent, we find that the deposition time could be increased and then the reproducibility and uniformity of NDs deposition could be improved when highly diluting silane in a carrier gas. A consequence of this high dilution seems to be that the contribution to deposition of unsaturated species such as silylene SiH2 highly increases. This result is important since our first DFT calculations have shown that silicon chemisorption on silanol Si-OH or siloxane Si-O-Si bonds present on SiO2 substrates could only proceed from silylene (and probably from other unsaturated species). The silane saturated molecule could only contribute to NDs growth, i.e. silicon chemisorption on already deposited silicon bonds. Increasing silylene contribution to deposition in highly diluting silane could then also exalt silicon nucleation on SiO2 substrates and then increase NDs density.

AbstractIn this work, we report on nucleation and growth of silicon thin films on glass substrate with “five-fold” symmetry and “six-fold” symmetry by ceramics hot wire chemical vapor deposition. We observed “confinement of heat and photon” is a powerful approach in developing silicon thin films with novel structure, i.e. quasicrystalline silicon thin films on glass substrate. We found unambiguously that photons emitted from the hot filament influence the nucleation of nanocrystal silicon that produces new type of silicon thin films with “five-fold” symmetry and “six-fold” symmetry.

AbstractWe have studied the nucleation and growth of alumina by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The deposition of alumina films was carried out on Si(100) in a horizontal, hot-wall, low pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor, using aluminum acetylacetonate{Al(acac)3}as the CVD precursor. We have investigated growth of alumina films as a function of different CVD parameters such as substrate temperature and total reactor pressure during film growth. Films were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cross-sectional SEM, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) compositional depth profiling. The chemical analysis reveals that the carbon is present throughout the depth of the films.
