PECVD grown a-SiNx:H and a-SiCx:H films were investigated as dielectric films in the form of metal/insulator/p-silicon (MIS) structures. AC admittance of MIS structures was measured as a function of dc gate bias voltages and frequencies (1-1000 kHz) of the superimposed ac bias voltage (10mV). For each applied bias voltage (from accumulating to inverting bias regimes), temperature (7) dependence of both capacitance (C) and conductance (G/omega) were measured to investigate majority/minority carrier behavior under various frequencies omega(kHz-MHz) as parameters. C and G/omega - T - omega measurements reveal that observed pairs of capacitance steps and conductance peaks are related to traps lying on the same energy value, residing in the insulator and at the interface of insulator/semiconductor structure and differing only through capture cross-sections. On the other hand, surface band bending (0,) of silicon and activation energy (EA) deduced from the Arrhenius plot of the frequency vs. reciprocal temperature as a function of gate bias (VG) seem linearly dependent, implying that EA reflects the 0, variation.

Investigation of structural and optical characteristics of thermally evaporated Ga2Se3 thin films Isik, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2020-09-01) Ga2Se3 thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation technique and structural, optical characteristics of the deposited thin films were investigated in the present study. X-ray diffraction pattern of the thin film exhibited one intensive and sharp peak associated with (111) plane of cubic crystalline structure of the compound. Energy dispersive spectroscopic analyses pointed out the atomic compositional ratio of the constituent elements as consistent with chemical formula of Ga2Se3. The optical characteri...
Admittance analysis of an MIS structure made with PECVD deposited a-SiNx : H thin films Atilgan, I; Ozder, S; Ozdemir, O; Katircioglu, B (Elsevier BV, 1999-07-01) a-SiNx:H thin films, prepared by the PECVD technique, were optically and electrically characterized. The frequency dependent trap admittance derived for the MIS structure in the accumulation gate voltage regime was revised. Based on these results an omitted multiplying factor was included into the derivation. An extension of the tunnelling model in the depletion bias regime was used in comparison with the widely accepted statistical model and finally, the more general feature of the tunnelling-based approac...
Study of the a-Si:H/c-Si Heterointerface by Ex-Situ Spectroscopic Ellipsometry, Infrared Spectroscopy, and Solar Cell Modeling Pehlivan, O.; KARATAŞ, SERÇİN; Yilmaz, O.; Kodolbas, A. O.; Duygulu, O.; DUYGULU, Nilüfer; İSKENDER, İRES; Tomak, Mehmet (2015-06-01) The interface formation between plasma-enhanced chemical vapor-deposited (PECVD) silicon thin films and H-terminated, p-type c-Si was investigated. The formation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), epitaxial Si, and mixed phase Si was detected through spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The evolution of the hydrogen content and hydrogen bonding configurations in the films were monitored by attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (FT...
Optical and structural characteristics of electrodeposited Cd 1-xZnxS nanostructured thin films Erturk, K.; Isik, M.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2021-04-01) The structural and optical characteristics of Cd1-xZnxS (CdZnS) thin films grown by the electrodeposition method were investigated in the present paper. The crystalline structure of the grown CdZnS thin film was determined as cubic wurtzite due to observed diffraction peaks associated with (111) and (220) planes. Atomic compositional ratios of the constituent elements were obtained using energy dispersive spectroscopy and doping concentration of the Zn was found as 5% (x ~ 0.05). Scanning electron microscop...
Investigation of band gap energy versus temperature for SnS 2 thin films grown by RF-magnetron sputtering Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Parlak, Mehmet; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) SnS2 thin films grown by magnetron sputtering technique were characterized by structurally and optically in the present work. Crystalline parameters, atomic compositions, and surface characteristics of SnS2 thin films were presented according to results of applied structural techniques. Optical studies of SnS2 thin films were accomplished by Raman spectroscopy and transmission methods. Raman spectrum exhibited two modes around 198 and 320 cm−1. Transmittance data obtained for various temperatures between 10...
