In this work, we report on the study of the electrical and optical properties of amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC)-based Schottky diodes for optoelectronic applications. A significant decrease of reflectivity and an enhancement of the passivating properties of more than 97% were reached after a-SiC layer deposition on silicon substrate. The deposited a-SiC film exhibits a dielectric constant of 2.143. Temperature effect on Schottky diode performances was carried out through the analysis of the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics at temperature range of 298–573 K. The ideality factor at room temperature was found to be 1.651, and it was improved to 1.132 when temperature was increased to 573 K. The calculated barrier height of the diode at room temperature was c 0.812 eV and it increased with temperature to reach 1.640 at 573 K. The change in the barrier height was attributed to the effective leakage current at high temperature. Shunt resistance Rsh remained at around 85 KΩ along this range with a slight decrease at high temperature. Series resistance Rs was sharply decreased from 520 Ω at room temperature to 45 Ω at 573 K. Thanks to the optical and electrical characterization performed, we have demonstrated the possibility of using such non hydrogenated amorphous SiC layers to improve the properties of based silicon Schottky diodes.

Effects of boron doping on solid phase crystallization of in situ doped amorphous Silicon thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation Sedani, Salar H.; Yasar, Ozlen F.; Karaman, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-31) In this work, we studied solid-phase crystallization of boron-doped non-hydrogenated amorphous Si films fabricated by electron beam evaporation equipped with effusion cells (e-Beam EC) on silicon nitride coated glass substrates. We investigated the effect of boron doping on the crystallization kinetics through a series of experiments with different boron doping concentrations controlled by the effusion cell temperature. We employed Raman spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy, grazing ...
Effect of substrate type on structural and optical properties of metal nanoparticles for plasmonic applications Tanyeli, İrem; Turan, Raşit; Bek, Alpan; Department of Physics (2011) In this work, the structural and optical properties of metal nanoparticles fabricated on various substrates have been investigated. The particles were fabricated by electron beam lithography (EBL) and dewetting of a thin metal film. The advantages and disadvantages of these two fabrication techniques are discussed by considering the properties of the nanoparticles and the applicability to large area substrates. Being a practical fabrication method, dewetting can be applied to any substrate with either small...
Effects of annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of ZnO hexagonal pyramids BACAKSIZ, EMİN; YILMAZ, ŞERİFE; Parlak, Mehmet; Varilci, A.; Altunbas, M. (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-10) ZnO thin films were deposited on quartz substrate at 550 degrees C by using spray pyrolysis method and subsequently annealed between 600-900 degrees C with a step of 100 degrees C. The characterizations of the structural and optical properties of the films have been carried out by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical transmittance measurements. XRD ans SEM images indicated that annealing temperature did not play a great role on the microstructure of ZnO films. ZnO thin ...
Effect of expandable graphite on flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane composites filled with huntite&hydromagnesite mineral Guler, Turkan; Tayfun, Umit; Bayramlı, Erdal; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-01-10) The effect of expandable graphite (EG) was studied on the flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) containing huntite&hydromagnesite (HH). According to the flammability tests results, the synergistic interaction was observed between HH and EG. The maximum limiting oxygen index (LOI value was observed at a ratio of 1:1 (HH:EG) and the highest vertical burning test (UL-94) rating of V0 was observed at a ratios of 4:1, 3:2 and 1:1. The synergistic interaction betwe...
Effect of Presoaked Expanded Perlite Aggregate on the Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites KESKİN, SÜLEYMAN BAHADIR; Sulaiman, Kamaran; Sahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-06-01) This paper reports on an investigation of the use of expanded perlite aggregate as saturated lightweight aggregate (LWA) with respect to the mechanical and dimensional stability properties of engineered cemetitious composites (ECC). Expanded perlite aggregate was soaked in water for 24 h before its use in ECC, and replaced 10, 20, and 30% of the aggregate that was used in ECC production. The mixture proportion of a standard ECC mixture with properties that have been extensively reported in the literature is...
