Silicon nanowires (Si NWs) were fabricated on Si(111) surfaces by both thermal evaporation and sputtering methods. Au nanocrystals were used as the metal catalysts and they were fabricated by electron beam evaporation. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to characterize the Si NWs. The diameters of the Si NWs were measured to be about few tens of nanometer. The mechanism of the nanowires formation by these methods was also discussed.

The adhesion of manganese silicide ( MnSi x) films on silicon and glass substrates is studied by using the micro-scratch method. The films were prepared by electron beam evaporation and thermal evaporation. To improve adhesion of the films, several techniques including ion bombardment, increasing substrate temperature, and insertion of a silicon intermediate layer were used. Finally, adherent MnSi x(x~1.7) films were prepared through solid phase reaction as well as reactive deposition. The hardness and modulus of the MnSi x(x~1.7) film were measured by a nano-indenter and the values are 8.8±1.0 GPa and 141±15 GPa, respectively.

Smart windows were fabricated with different thicknesses of amorphous V2O5, which acts as an ion storage layer. In these devices, V2O5 was deposited by thermal evaporation at a substrate temperature of 200 oC, and an electrochromic layer (WO3) was deposited by electron beam evaporation at a substrate temperature of 250 oC. Both layers were amorphous. V2O5 was found to exhibit direct-forbidden electron transitions, whereas the WO3 layer exhibited indirect-allowed electron transitions. An increase in the thickness of V2O5 from 78 nm to 313 nm reduced the colouration efficiency from 64 to 48 cm2/C, and the time of the transmission variation curve from the coloured state to the bleached state was increased from 82.41 s to 558 s.

ABSTRACTEpitaxial growth of NiSi2 and CoSi2 on silicon inside miniature oxide openings by rapid thermal annealing has been studied. Effects of lateral confinement, including two-dimensional and linear oxide openings, as well as deposition methods on the growth of NiSi2 and CoSi2 on silicon were investigated. Vast difference found in the behaviors of the growth of epitaxy inside oxide openings between samples with the metal films deposited by electron beam evaporation and sputtering are attributed to the differences in the geometrical configuration of the films and stress levels as well as surface cleanliness.

ABSTRACTIn the present study epitaxial Ni(001) films have been grown on natural C(001) substrates (type la and Ha) and homoepitaxial C(001) films. Two deposition techniques including electron-beam evaporation of Ni in a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system and evaporation of Ni from a resistively heated tungsten filament have been employed. As evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the Ni films deposited by electron-beam evaporation were found to replicate the very fine, unidirectional scratches present on the as polished C(001) substrates. Indeed, the coverage and uniformity of the deposited films would imply a two-dimensional (2-D) growth mode. In comparison, the thermal evaporation of Ni on C(001) substrates results in a highly textured and faceted surface morphology indicative of three-dimensional (3–D) nucleation and growth. Moreover, Rutherford backscattering/channeling measurements have demonstrated that the Ni(001) films deposited by electron-beam evaporation are of superior crystalline quality. Differences in the observed microstructure and apparent growth modes of the epitaxial Ni(001) films have been attributed to the presence of oxygen incorporation in those layers deposited by thermal evaporation.
