HfO2 thin films were prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering technique on (100) p-Si substrate. The effects of O-2/Ar ratio, substrate temperature, sputtering power on the structural properties of HfO2 grown films were studied by Spectroscopic Ellipsometer (SE), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling techniques. The results show that the formation of a SiOx suboxide layer at the HfO2/Si interface is unavoidable. The HfO2 thickness and suboxide formation are highly affected by the growth parameters such as sputtering power, O-2/Ar gas ratio during sputtering, and substrate temperature. XRD spectra show that the deposited films have (111) monoclinic phase of HfO2, which is also supported by FTIR spectra. XPS depth profiling spectra shows that highly reactive sputtered Hf atoms consume some of the oxygen atoms from the underlying SiO2 to form HfO2, leaving Si-Si bonds behind.

Effects of boron doping on solid phase crystallization of in situ doped amorphous Silicon thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation Sedani, Salar H.; Yasar, Ozlen F.; Karaman, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-31) In this work, we studied solid-phase crystallization of boron-doped non-hydrogenated amorphous Si films fabricated by electron beam evaporation equipped with effusion cells (e-Beam EC) on silicon nitride coated glass substrates. We investigated the effect of boron doping on the crystallization kinetics through a series of experiments with different boron doping concentrations controlled by the effusion cell temperature. We employed Raman spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy, grazing ...
Effect of Cd-doping level on the electrical, structural and photoconductivity properties of GaSe thin films Colakoglu, T; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-12-01) GaSe thin films were deposited by thermal evaporation technique with and without Cd doping. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystallinity of doped and undoped films increases in (1014) preferred orientation direction upon annealing. Addition of cadmium dopant with excess selenium in the GaSe structure gives rise to the possibility for the existence of a CdSe phase in the highly Cd-doped samples. The room temperature conductivity and mobility values of the samples were found to be lying in between...
Effects of glass substrate coated by different-content buffer layer on the quality of poly-Si thin films Karaman, Mehmet; ÖZMEN, ÖZGE TÜZÜN; Sedani, Salar Habibpur; Ozkol, Engin; Turan, Raşit (Wiley, 2016-12-01) In this work, polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films were fabricated by aluminum induced crystallization (AIC) technique. SiNx, deposited as a function of NH3/SiH4 ratio, and AZO (Al-doped ZnO) films on glass were used as a buffer layer between glass and Si film. The effect of buffer layer content on the crystallinity of poly-Si thin films was studied by Raman analysis which shows that fully crystallization without stress was achieved for all samples. Moreover, the preferred crystalline orientation an...
Stability and degradation of plasma deposited boron nitride thin films in ambient atmosphere Anutgan, Tamila Aliyeva; Anutgan, Mustafa; Atilgan, Ismail; Katircioglu, Bayram (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-02) Boron nitride (BN) thin films were deposited at 296 K, 398 K, 523 K and 623 K by low power radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with nitrogen (N-2.) and hydrogen diluted diborane (15% B2H6 in H-2) source gases. Fourier transform infrared and UV-visible spectroscopies were used to investigate the stability and degradation of BN films under ambient air conditions. The action of moisture on the films is reduced with increasing substrate temperature (T-s) to the detriment of the film growth...
Effect of heat treatment on the stress and structure evolution of plasma deposited boron nitride thin films Anutgan, T. Aliyeva; Anutgan, M.; Wdemir, O.; Atilgan, I.; Katircioglu, B. (Elsevier BV, 2008-03-25) Boron nitride (BN) thin films are deposited at 573 K by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen diluted diborane (15% B2H6 in H-2) source gases. UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies together with surface profilometry are used for the film characterization. These films are hydrogenated (BN:H) whose hydrogen content is pursued following the 1.5 h annealing process at 748 K, 923 K and 1073 K under nitrogen atmosphere. Hydrogen escape with the...
