Three sets of boron nitride (BN) thin films are deposited with different N(2)/B(2)H(6) flow ratios (r = 4, 10 and 25) by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The variations of physical properties in different deposition sets are analyzed by optical (XPS, FTIR, UV-visible spectroscopies), mechanical and electrical measurements. The films are considered to be deposited in a turbostratic phase (t-BN). Evolution of bonding configurations with increasing r is discussed. Relatively higher nitrogen flow rate in the source gas mixture results in lower deposition rates, whereas more ordered films, which tend to reach a unique virtual crystal of band gap 5.93 eV, are formed. Anisotropy in the film structure and film inhomogeneity along the PECVD electrode radial direction are investigated.

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...
Influence of gamma irradiation on the C-V characteristics of the Al/SiNx/Si MIS capacitors Tugay, Evrin; YILMAZ, ERCAN; Turan, Raşit (2012-07-01) The authors studied effects of gamma radiation on the electrical properties of the MOS capacitor made on SiNx thin films with thickness of 100 nm deposited on p-type (100) silicon wafer using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. The authors investigated the chemical bonds and their densities inside the films using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The as-deposited and annealed samples with Al/SiNx/Si structure as metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors were exposed to a 60-...
Influence of the sol-gel preparation method on the photocatalytic NO oxidation performance of TiO2/Al2O3 binary oxides Polat, Meryem; Soylu, Asli M.; Altunöz Erdoğan, Deniz; Erguven, Huseyin; Vovk, Evgeny I.; Ozensoy, Emrah (2015-03-01) In the current work, TiO2/Al2O3 binary oxide photocatalysts were synthesized via two different sol-gel protocols (P1 and P2), where various TiO2 to Al2O3 mole ratios (0.5 and 1.0) and calcination temperatures (150-1000 degrees C) were utilized in the synthesis. Structural characterization of the synthesized binary oxide photocatalysts was also performed via BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalytic NO(g) oxidation performances of these binary oxides were m...
Investigation of plasma deposited hexagonal boron nitride thin films Anutgan, Mustafa; Katırcıoğlu, Bayram; Department of Physics (2007) Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) thin films are deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Effects of heat treatment and source gases on the structure and physical properties are investigated. Chemical bonding is analyzed in comparison with the better understood isoelectronic carbon compound, graphite. It seems that the basic difference between h-BN and graphite arises from the different electronegativities of boron and nitrogen atoms. Optical absorptions in UV-visible range for crystalli...
Effect of chemical composition on the optical properties and fracture toughness of transparent magnesium aluminate spinel ceramics Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Dlouhy, Ivo; Kagawa, Yutaka (2005-05-01) Polycrystalline transparent magnesium aluminate "spinel" ceramics were fabricated by hot-pressing and hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) using commercially available MgO and Al2O3 Powders. Al2O3 content of spinet was systematically changed that can be expressed as MgO.nAl(2)O(3) with n = 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. UV/visible and near-IR wavelength region light reflection and transmission behaviors of the spinet ceramics were quantitatively correlated to their microstructure to account for the optical quality of the fab...
