A study of intermetallic compound formation at the interface between copper thin film and silicon substrate is presented in this work. Two systems; Cu/Si and Cu-(5at%) Nb/Si, were studied. From the intermetallics formed at the interfaces of two systems; as a model, formation mechanisms of Cu0.83Si0.17 with and without niobium impurity were examined. Variations in values of parabolic rate constants and activation energies with Nb impurity content were determined. The samples were annealed at different temperatures and time intervals after vacuum deposition of the films. X-Ray, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis showed the sequential formation of several intermetallic phases at the interfaces. Using this data, a model had been given about the formation of the observed intermetallic phases.

Investigation of material properties of magnetron sputtered CuAg-In-Se thin films Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin; Parlak, Mehmet (null; 2016-09-23) Thin films of copper based chalcopyrite absorber materials are attracting the attention of many researchers because of their favorable optoelectronic properties and good stability makes them suitable for photovoltaic and optoelectronic device applications. These compounds are particularly suitable for making p-n hetero-junctions with the II-VI compounds. Therefore, the utilization of I-III-VI2 group of chalcopyrite semiconductors has been reported in the literature for application in thin film solar cells. ...
Investigation of silver-induced crystallization of germanium thin films fabricated on different substrates Kabacelik, Ismail; KULAKCI, MUSTAFA; Turan, Raşit (2015-06-01) Silver-induced crystallizations of amorphous germanium (alpha-Ge) thin films were fabricated through electron beam evaporation on crystalline silicon (c-Si) (100), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), and glass substrates at room temperature. The solid-phase crystallization (SPC) of alpha-Ge films was investigated for various post-annealing temperatures between 300 and 500 degrees C for 60 min. Two crystallization approaches were compared: SPC and metal-induced crystallization (MIC). The structural properties o...
Characterization and enhancement of IR optical and tribological properties of DLC films synthesized by RF-PECVD Taburoğlu, Vahit Eren; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Akata Kurç, Burcu; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) This thesis analyzes the hydrogenated amorphous diamond like carbon (a-DLC) films coated on aluminum substrates by the technique of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Effects of film thickness, hydrogen content and RF power on the tribology, optical characteristics and structure are observed and studied in detail. DLC films have compressive intrinsic stresses by default. Surface topography revealed by an interferometer shows that too low/high compressive stress is detrimental to the film. In...
Observation of Oscillatory Surface Reactions of Riboflavin, Trolox, and Singlet Oxygen Using Single Carbon Nanotube Fluorescence Spectroscopy Sen, Fatih; Boghossian, Ardemis A.; Sen, Selda; Ulissi, Zachary W.; Zhang, Jingqing; Strano, Michael S. (2012-12-01) Single-molecule fluorescent microscopy allows semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to detect the adsorption and desorption of single adsorbate molecules as a stochastic modulation of emission intensity. In this study, we identify and assign the signature of the complex decomposition and reaction pathways of riboflavin in the presence of the free radical scavenger Trolox using DNA-wrapped SWCNT sensors dispersed onto an aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) coated surface. SWCNT emission is qu...
Investigation of physical properties of quaternary AgGa0.5In0.5Te2 thin films deposited by thermal evaporation Karaagac, H.; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2010-8) The aim of this study is to understand the structural, optical and photo-electrical properties of the quaternary chalcogenide AgGa 0.5In0.5Te2 thin films deposited onto the glass substrates by thermal evaporation of the single crystalline powder. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) showed remarkable change in atomic percentage of the constituent elements after annealing. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the films below the annealing temperature of 300°C indicated the polycrystalline structure with co-exis...
