Conference Object Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 35Effects of Physical Growth Conditions on the Structural and Optical Properties of Sputtered Grown Thin Hfo2 Films(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Aygün, Gülnur; Cantaş, Ayten; Şimşek, Yılmaz; Turan, RaşitHfO2 thin films were prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering technique on (100) p-Si substrate. The effects of O2/Ar ratio, substrate temperature, sputtering power on the structural properties of HfO2 grown films were studied by Spectroscopic Ellipsometer (SE), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling techniques. The results show that the formation of a SiOx suboxide layer at the HfO2/Si interface is unavoidable. The HfO2 thickness and suboxide formation are highly affected by the growth parameters such as sputtering power, O 2/Ar gas ratio during sputtering, and substrate temperature. XRD spectra show that the deposited films have (111) monoclinic phase of HfO 2, which is also supported by FTIR spectra. XPS depth profiling spectra shows that highly reactive sputtered Hf atoms consume some of the oxygen atoms from the underlying SiO2 to form HfO2, leaving Si-Si bonds behind. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The device structure consists of a thin HfO2 tunneling oxide with a Ge layer either in the form of continuous layer or discrete nanocrystals and relatively thicker SiO2 layer functioning as a control oxide. In this work, we studied interface properties and formation kinetics in SiO2/Ge/HfO2(Ge) multilayer structure during deposition and annealing. This material structure was fabricated by magnetron sputtering and studied by depth profiling with XPS and by Raman spectroscopy. It was observed that Ge atoms penetrate into HfO2 layer during the deposition and segregate out with annealing. This is related to the low solubility of Ge in HfO2 which is observed in other oxides as well. Therefore, Ge out diffusion might be an advantage in forming well controlled floating gate on top of HfO2. In addition we observed the Ge oxidation at the interfaces, where HfSiOx formation is also detected. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

SiO2 films containing nanoparticles of Ge were grown using the r.f.-magnetron sputtering technique. Formation of Ge nanocrystals was observed after high temperature annealing in an inert atmosphere and confirmed by Raman measurements. The intensity of the Raman signal originating from Ge nanocrystals was found to decrease with increasing gamma radiation. The study also includes the gamma radiation effects on MOS structure with Ge nanocrystals embedded in SiO2. The gamma radiation effects from 500 up to 4000 Gray were investigated. Capacitance-voltage measurements were performed and analyzed. Oxide traps and interface trap charges were calculated. Results show that MOS structure with Ge nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 is a good candidate to be used in radiation sensors, especially at high radiation doses. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The chemical bonding, structure, and optical properties of the films have been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and reflectance measurements at normal light incidence in the spectral range of 350-800 nm. The effect of the substrate temperature (250-400 °C) during oxidation and its optimization with respect to the used laser beam energy density (3.2-3.4 J cm2 per pulse) is discussed. It is established that the substrate temperature is a critical factor for the effectiveness of the oxidation process and can be used to control the composition and amorphous status of the films. The film density explored by refractive index is improved with increasing film thickness. The refractive index of the layers grown under the higher laser beam energy density and at substrate temperature of 350-400 °C was found to be close to the value of bulk Ta2 O5. The films are amorphous at substrate temperature below 350 °C and possessed an orthorhombic (Β- Ta2 O5) crystal structure at higher temperatures. The thinner layers crystallize at a little higher temperature.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 24Electrical and Dielectrical Properties of Tantalum Oxide Films Grown by Nd:yag Laser Assisted Oxidation(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Aygün, Gülnur; Turan, RaşitTantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) thin films (20 to 44 nm) have been grown by 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser oxidation of Ta deposited films with various thickness on Si. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum, thickness distribution, dielectric and electrical properties of laser grown oxide layers have been studied. The effect of the sputtered Ta film thickness, laser beam energy density and the substrate temperature on the final Ta2O5 film structure has been determined. It is shown that the oxide layers obtained for the laser beam energy density in the range from 3.26 to 3.31 J/cm2 and the substrate temperature around 350 °C have superior properties. FTIR measurement demonstrates that the Ta2O5 layers are obtained with the laser assisted oxidation technique. Metal Oxide Semiconductor capacitors fabricated on the grown oxide layers exhibits typical Capacitance-Voltage, Conductance-Voltage and Current-Voltage characteristics. However, the density of oxide charges is found to be slightly higher than the typical values of thermally grown oxides. The conduction mechanism studied by Current-Voltage measurements of the capacitors indicated that the current flow through the oxide layer is modified Poole-Frenkel type. It is concluded that the Ta2O5 films formed by the technique of Nd:YAG laser-enhanced oxidation at relatively low substrate temperatures are potentially useful for device applications and their properties can be further improved by post oxidation annealing processes. © 2008 Elsevier B.VArticle Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Si Ion Implanted Yba 2cu3o7-? Thin Films and Microbridges(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Avcı, İlbeyi; Tepe, Mustafa; Serincan, Uğur; Öktem, Bülent; Turan, Raşit; Abukay, DoğanFabrication of superconducting bilayer YBa2Cu3O 7-δ (YBCO) thin film structure by Si ion implantation and properties of microbridge patterned on that are presented. YBCO thin film of 150 nm thickness was grown on single crystal (100) SrTiO3 substrate by inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering. The sample was implanted with 100 keV, 1×1016 Si ions/cm2. Upon implantation with Si, the sample lost its electrical conductivity and diamagnetism while its crystalline structure was preserved after the annealing of the sample. The implanted ions do not alter the overall crystal structure of high temperature superconductor film. This allows the growth of epitaxial superconducting second layer YBCO film on top of the implanted area without using any buffer layer, thus providing an effective method of fabricating multilayer structures. The second layer film and the microbridge patterned by laser writing technique, showed the superconducting properties similar to those of pure YBCO base layer with a reduced critical current density.
