High-kappa hafnium-oxide thin films have been fabricated by radio frequency (rf) reactive magnetron sputtering technique. To avoid formation of an undesired interfacial suboxide layer between Si and high-kappa film, prior to HfO2 deposition, a thin Hf buffer layer was deposited on p-type (100) Si substrate at room temperature. Effect of oxygen gas quantity in the O-2/Ar gas mixture was studied for the optical and structural properties of grown HfO2 high-kappa thin films. The grown thin oxide films were characterized optically using spectroscopic ellipsometer (SE) in detail. Crystal structure was studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffractometer (GIXRD) technique, while bonding structure was obtained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. In agreement with GIXRD and FTIR analyses, SE results show that any increment above ideal quantity of oxygen content in the gas mixture resulted in decrements in the refractive index and thickness of HfO2 dielectric film, while increments in SiO2 thickness. It is apparent from experimental results that oxygen to argon gas ratio needs to be smaller than 0.2 for a good film quality. The superior structural and optical properties for grown oxide film were obtained for O-2/Ar gas ratio of about 0.05-0.1 combined with similar to 30W constant rf sputtering power.

Growth of pentacene on Ag(111) surface: A NEXAFS study Pedio, M.; Doyle, B.; Mahne, N.; Giglia, A.; Borgatti, F.; Nannarone, S.; Henze, S. K. M.; Temirov, R.; Tautz, F. S.; Casalis, L.; Hudej, R.; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih; Nickel, B. (Elsevier BV, 2007-10-31) Thin films of pentacene (C22H14) have become widely used in the field of organic electronics. Here films of C22H14 of thickness ranging from submonolayer to multilayer were thermally deposited on Ag(1 1 1) surface. The determination of molecular geometry in pentacene films on Ag(1 1 1) studied by X-ray absorption at different stages of growth up to one monolayer is presented.
Production and characterization of layer by layer sputtered single-phase AgInSe2 thin film by thermal selenization KALELİ, Murat; ÇOLAKOĞLU, TAHİR; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) In this study highly stoichiometric and monophase AgInSe2 thin films were prepared by selenization of Ag-InSe precursors and the effect of the annealing temperature on the structural, electrical and optical properties have been investigated. The Se incorporation during selenization process as a function of temperature and the compositions of the samples were determined by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). As prepared and selenized films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning elect...
Effects of annealing on structural and morphological properties of e-beam evaporated AgGaSe2 thin films KARAAĞAÇ, HAKAN; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-15) Polycrystalline AgGaSe2 thin films were deposited by using single crystalline powder of AgGaSe2 grown by vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger technique. Post-annealing effect on the structural and morphological properties of the deposited films were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) measurements. XRD analysis showed that as-grown films were in amorphous structure, whereas annealing ...
Effect of oxygen flow rate on the low temperature deposition of titanium monoxide thin films via electron beam evaporation Cosar, Mustafa Burak; Icli, Kerem Cagatay; Ozenbas, Macit (American Vacuum Society, 2019-05-01) In this study, titanium monoxide thin films were evaporated by an electron beam source under different oxygen atmospheres at deposition temperatures not exceeding 80 degrees C. Deposition of thin films at low temperatures is a prerequisite for heat sensitive substrates. XRD results showed that crystallinity of titanium monoxide is achieved without the requirement of high temperature annealing. When oxygen is introduced into the coating chamber, a titanium peak is formed at exactly the Ti+2 position together...
Deposition and characterization of layer-by-layer sputtered AgGaSe2 thin films KARAAĞAÇ, HAKAN; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-15) Sputtering technique has been used for the deposition of AgGaSe2 thin films onto soda-lime glass substrates using sequential layer-by-layer deposition of GaSe and Ag thin films. The analysis of energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDXA) indicated a Ga-rich composition for as-grown samples and there was a pronounce effect of post-annealing on chemical composition of AgGaSe2 thin film. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that Ag metallic phase exists in the amorphous AgGaSe2 structure up to annealin...
