Boron carbide was produced in an impinging jet CVD reactor from a gas mixture of BCl3, CH4 and H-2. The mass transfer limitations on the reaction kinetics were minimised by the jet impingement on the substrate surface. XPS characterization of the produced deposits revealed a nearly pure boron carbide phase containing small amounts of oxy-boron and oxy-carbon species. After a detailed kinetic study, a reaction model was proposed to predict the rates of boron carbide and dichloroborane formation reactions. In this model, boron trichloride is adsorbed on the surface non-dissociatively, whereas hydrogen and methane are adsorbed dissociatively. BC is formed on the solid surface through the reaction of adsorbed boron trichloride with adsorbed methane in the form of CH3(S) (adsorbed CH3 on the surface). Produced BC is reacted in successive series reactions including adsorbed boron trichloride and adsorbed hydrogen. In the proposed mechanism, dichloroborane is produced only through the gas phase reaction between boron trichloride and hydrogen. The simultaneous fit of the experimental data to the model expression gave good fits for the boron carbide and dichloroborane formation reactions with the high correlation coefficient values.

Effect of heat treatment on nickel manganite thin film thermistors deposited by electron beam evaporation Parlak, Mehmet; Hogan, M.J.; Brinkman, A.W. (1999-05-21) Thin ®lms of nickel manganite were deposited onto different substrates by means of electron beam evaporation from a powder source of the compound and annealed at 500 and 6008C for 30 min. in air, oxygen or nitrogen to study the effects of annealing temperature and atmosphere on the structure and properties of grown thin ®lms. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy were used to con®rm the formation of nickel manganite; the integrity of the ®lms and their elemental compositions were assessed using a scan...
Device Characterization of ZnInSe2 Thin Films Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV; 2016-01-01) p-Si/n-ZnInSe2 hetero-junction diode was deposited by thermal evaporation of elemental evaporation sources on the 600 mu m thick p-type (1 1 1) mono-crystalline Si wafers having the resistivity value of 1 - 3 (Omega.cm). Detailed electrical characterization of the hetero-junction was performed by the help of temperature dependent current-voltage measurements. The forward current-voltage behaviour of the hetero-junction diode was investigated under the evaluation of possible current transport mechanisms. In ...
Mechanism Studies on CVD of Boron Carbide from a Gas Mixture of BCl3, CH4, and H-2 in a Dual Impinging-jet Reactor Karaman, Mustafa; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur; Ozbelge, Hilmi Onder (2009-03-01) Nearly pure boron carbide free from impurities was produced on a tungsten substrate in a dual impinging-jet chemical vapor deposition reactor from a BCl3, CH4, and H-2 mixture. The Fourier Tran form Infrared (FTIR) analysis proved the formation Of reaction intermediate BHCl2, which is proposed to occur mainly in the gaseous boundary layer next to the substrate surface. Among a large number of reaction mechanisms proposed only the ones considering the molecular adsorption of boron carbide on the substrate su...
Chemical vapor deposition of boron carbide Karaman, Mustafa; Özbelge, Önder; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) Boron carbide was produced on tungsten substrate in a dual impinging-jet CVD reactor from a gas mixture of BCl3, CH4, and H2. The experimental setup was designed to minimise the effect of mass transfer on reaction kinetics, which, together with the on-line analysis of the reactor effluent by FTIR, allowed a detailed kinetic investigation possible. The phase and morphology studies of the products were made by XPS, XRD,micro hardness and SEM methods. XPS analysis showed the existence of chemical states attrib...
Structural characteristics of thermally evaporated Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 thin films Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (2016-05-01) In this work, Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 (CAIS) thin film samples were prepared by thermal evaporation of Cu, Ag, InSe and Se evaporants sequentially on glass substrates. Following the deposition, annealing processes were applied at different temperatures. The as-grown and annealed CAIS samples were nearly stoichiometric in the detection limit of the compositional measurement. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that they were in polycrystalline structure with a preferred orientation along the (112) dire...
