Tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) thin films (20-50 nm) have been grown by 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser oxidation of Ta film deposited on Si. The chemical bonding, structure, and optical properties of the films have been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and reflectance measurements at normal light incidence in the spectral range of 350-800 nm. The effect of the substrate temperature (250-400 degrees C) during oxidation and its optimization with respect to the used laser beam energy density (3.2-3.4 J/cm(2) per pulse) is discussed. It is established that the substrate temperature is a critical factor for the effectiveness of the oxidation process and can be used to control the composition and amorphous status of the films. The film density explored by refractive index is improved with increasing film thickness. The refractive index of the layers grown under the higher laser beam energy density and at substrate temperature of 350-400 degrees C was found to be close to the value of bulk Ta2O5. The films are amorphous at substrate temperature below 350 degrees C and possessed an orthorhombic (beta-Ta2O5) crystal structure at higher temperatures. The thinner layers crystallize at a little higher temperature. (c) 2006 American Vacuum Society.

Electrical and dielectrical properties of tantalum oxide films grown by Nd:YAG laser assisted oxidation AYGÜN ÖZYÜZER, GÜLNUR; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2008-11-28) Tantalum pentoxide (Ta(2)O(5)) thin films (20 to 44 nm) have been grown by 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser oxidation of Ta deposited films with various thickness on Si. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum, thickness distribution, dielectric and electrical properties of laser grown oxide layers have been studied. The effect of the sputtered Ta film thickness, laser beam energy density and the substrate temperature on the final Ta(2)O(5) film structure has been determined. It is shown that the oxide layers obtain...
Structural and optical properties of thermally annealed thallium indium disulfide thin films Guler, I; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-30) Structural and optical properties of thallium indium disulfide (TlInS2) thin films, deposited by thermal evaporation technique and thermally annealed at different temperatures, were analyzed. Crystallite size, dislocation density and lattice strain of the thin films were found from X-ray diffraction experiments. The atomic compositions of the films were determined from energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. Surface morphology of the films was analyzed using atomic force microscopy. From room temperature t...
Thickness and optical constant distributions of PECVD a-SiCx : H thin films along electrode radial direction Akaoglu, B; Atilgan, I; Katircioglu, B (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01) Two sets of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiCx:H) thin films were grown on glass and c-Si substrates by Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique at pressures of 0.5 and 0.1 Torr. The influence of the pressure on the distribution of thicknesses, refractive indices at 632.8 nm and optical gaps from the edge to the center of the bottom electrode of PECVD system is examined by transmission, single wavelength ellipsometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A recently intr...
Structural, electrochemical and optical comparisons of tungsten oxide coatings derived from tungsten powder-based sols Isik, Dilek; AK, METİN; Durucan, Caner (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-02) Tungsten trioxide (WO3) electrochromic coatings have been formed on indium tin oxide-coated glass substrates by aqueous routes. Coating sols are obtained by dissolving tungsten powder in acetylated (APTA) or plain peroxotungstic acid (PTA) solutions. The structural evolution and electrochromic performance of the coatings as a function of calcination temperature (250 degrees C and 400 degrees C) have been reported. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction have shown that amorphous WO3 films ar...
Electrical and magnetic properties of Si ion implanted YBa2Cu3O7-delta thin films and microbridges Avci, I; Tepe, A; Serincan, U; Oktem, B; Turan, Raşit; Abukay, D (Elsevier BV, 2004-11-01) Fabrication of superconducting bilayer YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) thin film structure by Si ion implantation and properties of microbridge patterned on that are presented. YBCO thin film of 150 nm thickness was grown on single crystal (100) SrTiO3 substrate by inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering. The sample was implanted with 100 keV, 1 X 10(16) Si ions/cm(2). Upon implantation with Si, the sample lost its electrical conductivity and diamagnetism while its crystalline structure was preserved after the ann...
