    Study of Boron Doped Amorphous Silicon Lightly Hydrogenated Prepared by Dc Magnetron Sputtering for Infrared Detectors Applications
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Ketroussi, K.; Cherfi, R.; Yahia, Seba, H.; Tata, S.; Chabane, L.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Rahal, A.
    The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of boron doping concentration on the bolometric properties of lightly hydrogenated amorphous silicon doped with boron (a-Si: H(B)) films. Thin film a-Si: H(B) samples with different boron concentrations are prepared by co-sputtering of boron and silicon at relatively low hydrogen pressure. FTIR analyses show that the intensity of the characteristic peak of the substitutional boron gradually increases with the addition of boron. Increasing in boron concentration affects the bolometric properties of the lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H (B) films, including conductivity at room temperature (?RT) and thermal resistance coefficient (TCR). Indeed, when the boron concentration increases from 1.5 to 43%, ?RT increases from 1.4 10?6 to 2 10?3 ??1 cm?1 while the absolute value of TCR decreases from 3% to 8% K?1, respectively. In addition, lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H (B) films exhibit good thermal stability. We have showed in this study that lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H(B) can be considered as a potential candidate for low-cost, high-performance uncooled micro bolometers. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

    Thermally and Optically Tunable Sub-Terahertz Superconducting Fishnet Metamaterial
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Sabah, Cumali; Mulla, Batuhan; Altan, Hakan; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    In this paper, a novel fishnet metamaterial structure is designed and analyzed under different material combinations and under different active controlling techniques. The results indicate that, the proposed fishnet metamaterial has a single resonance with double negativity at 0.39 THz when quartz substrate and aluminum is utilized in the design. Moreover, when the metallic parts are replaced with YBCO, the proposed design also exhibits double negativity with a stronger resonance and can be used as a switch between the double negative and single negative modes if the temperature is altered. In addition to these, when substrate (quartz) is replaced with MgO, the resonance shifts from 0.39 THz to 0.26 THz and shows double negativity. Moreover, switching properties under illumination can also be obtained when the silicon is utilized in the design (MgO-YBCO combination). According to these results, it is found that, in the case that the conductivity of silicon exceeds a certain value, the character of the resonance changes from double negative to the single negative mode.

    Cu2znsns4-Based Thin Films and Solar Cells by Rapid Thermal Annealing Processing
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Olgar, Mehmet Ali; Klaer, J.; Mainz, R.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Unold, T.
    In this study, kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) absorber layers were fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering deposition of metallic Cu-Zn-Sn precursors, followed by an annealing treatment in sulfur vapor atmosphere at 600 °C for 3 min using rapid thermal processing (RTP). Three types of stacked metallic films were prepared and included pre-annealing of Cu-Sn stacks in order to induce preferential Cu-Sn alloying. The chemical composition of the sulfurized films was obtained by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) before and after etching the samples in KCN solution. All CZTS thin films are found to be Cu-poor and Zn-rich. Structural characterizations were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy to investigate the impact of pre-annealing on the structural properties of the precursors and final CZTS films. Glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) shows that pre-annealing of the precursors can improve depth homogeneity of the CZTS films. Photoluminescence spectra and the optical band gap energy values are compatible with literature. Selected samples were processed to solar cells and characterized.

    Effect of Heat Treating Metallic Constituents on the Properties of Cu2znsnse4 Thin Films Formed by a Two-Stage Process
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Olgar, Mehmet Ali; Başol, B. M.; Atasoy, Y.; Tomakin, Murat; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Bacaksız, Emin
    In this study Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin films were grown by a two-stage process that involved sputter deposition of a Cu/Sn/Zn/Cu metallic stack, annealing the stack at various temperatures for 30 min, evaporation of a Se cap over the metallic stack thus forming a precursor layer, and subjecting the precursor layer to a final high temperature reaction step at 550 °C. Different samples were prepared with annealing temperatures of the metallic stacks ranging from 200 °C to 350 °C. The results showed that heat treatment of the metallic stacks did not cause much change in their morphology and elemental composition, however their phase content changed noticeably when the anneal temperature was raised to 250 °C. Specifically, while the metallic films were dominated by CuSn and Cu5Zn8 phases at low temperatures, the dominant phase shifted to Cu6Sn5 at the annealing temperature of 250 °C and higher. Also formation of a distinct Cu3Zn2 phase was observed upon annealing at temperatures at or above 250 °C. After reaction with Se, the CZTSe layer obtained from the metallic film, which was annealed at 250 °C was found to be the best n terms of its composition, crystalline quality and purity, although it contained a small amount of CuSe. The other layers were found to contain small amounts of other secondary phases such as SnSe, CuSe2, ZnSe and Cu2SnSe3. SEM micrographs showed denser structure for CZTSe layers grown from metallic films annealed at or above 250 °C. Optical band gap, resistivity and carrier concentration of the best quality CZTSe film were found to be about 0.87 eV, 2 Ω-cm and 4 × 1017 cm− 3, respectively.

    Influence of Copper Composition and Reaction Temperature on the Properties of Cztse Thin Films
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Olgar, Mehmet Ali; Atasoy, Y.; Başol, B. M.; Tomakin, Murat|Özyüzer, Gülnur Aygün; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Bacaksız, Emin
    In this study Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) compound layers were grown using a two-stage technique that involved deposition of metallic precursors (Cu, Zn, and Sn) and Se in the first stage, followed by reaction of all the species at temperatures between 525 °C and 600 °C, during the second stage of the process. Two sets of samples, one with Cu-poor, Zn-rich and the other with Cu-rich, Zn-rich compositions, were prepared and their structural, optical and electrical properties were measured. XRD analyses showed the characteristic peaks of CZTSe regardless of the Cu content and the processing temperature. However, for samples reacted at temperatures of 575 °C and 600 °C a Cu2-xSe secondary phase separation was detected for all films suggesting that the reaction temperatures should be limited to values below 575 °C in a two-stage process such as ours. Excessive Sn loss was also present in samples processed at the highest temperatures. Raman scattering measurements confirmed formation of the CZTSe kesterite structure, and also indicated a small ZnSe phase, which could not be detected by XRD. Scanning electron micrographs demonstrated dense film structure with the Cu-rich films having smoother morphology. Optical characterization showed that increasing the Cu content in the compound layers caused a reduction in the optical band gap values due to increased interaction between the Cu-3d orbital electrons and the Se-4p orbital electrons. Electrical measurements showed that the carrier concentration increased with Cu content.

    Improvement of Optical and Electrical Properties of Ito Thin Films by Electro-Annealing
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Köseoğlu, Hasan; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Kurt, Metin; Yaman, Mutlu Devran; Akça, Fatime Gülşah; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    The effect of electro-annealing in vacuum and air on the optical and electrical properties of ITO thin films grown by large area DC magnetron sputtering was investigated. Moreover, the performances of the electro-annealed ITO thin films in vacuum and air were compared. Electro-annealing was performed by applying 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 A constant ac current to the ITO thin films. It was observed that the crystallinity of the films was better for the ITO thin films electro-annealed in vacuum. The changes in sheet resistance of electro-annealed ITO thin films with applied currents were detailed. The transmittance of the films increased for both electro-annealing in vacuum and air. A correlation between band-gap and resistivity for all of the electro-annealed thin films was observed.

    Area Dependence and Influence of Crystal Inhomogeneity on Superconducting Properties of Bi2212 Mesa Structures
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Demirhan, Yasemin; Sağlam, Hilal; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Alaboz, Hakan; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Kadowaki, K.
    The rapid increase in applications of terahertz waves requires new techniques to obtain continuous wave terahertz sources. Mesa structures fabricated from high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) single crystal have been observed as an intense, coherent, continuous electromagnetic wave source in the terahertz (THz) frequency region. However, in order to produce coherent radiation with high applicable power, we need large mesa structures that enter a collective electromagnetic state in which their oscillations are largely synchronized in phase. On the other hand, large mesa structures cause a heating problem. In this study, we report on the critical current density dependence of mesa area and the crystal inhomogeneity to understand heating problems in large area mesas for terahertz radiation. Since the doping dependence of Bi2212 is an important parameter, the as-grown Bi2212 crystals were heat-treated at various temperatures under vacuum conditions. We have fabricated triple mesa structures from Bi2212 single crystal using e-beam lithography and argon ion beam etching techniques with same area and with different area on the same chip. We investigated and compared characteristics of triple mesas which are on the same chip and next to each other. In this way, we searched the crystal inhomogeneity in triple mesa structures and studied the critical current density dependence of mesa area to obtain high emission power for the THz radiation. Our experimental results clearly show that the Josephson critical current density is decreasing when the area of mesa is increasing. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Growth of Cu2znsns4 Absorber Layer on Flexible Metallic Substrates for Thin Film Solar Cell Applications
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Yazıcı, Şebnem; Olgar, Mehmet Ali; Akça, Fatime Gülşah; Cantaş, Ayten; Kurt, Metin; Aygün, Gülnur; Tarhan, Enver; Yanmaz, Ekrem; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    In this work, Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) absorber layers were fabricated using a two-stage process. Sequentially deposited Cu-Zn-Sn thin film layers on metallic foils were annealed in an Ar + S2(g) atmosphere. We aimed to investigate the role of flexible titanium and molybdenum foil substrates in the growth mechanism of CZTS thin films. The Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of the sulfurized thin films revealed that, except for the presence of Sn-based secondary phases, nearly pure CZTS thin films were obtained. Additionally, the intense and sharp X-ray diffraction peak from the (112) plane provided evidence of good crystallinity. Electron dispersive spectroscopy analysis indicated sufficient sulfur content but poor Zn atomic weight percentage in the films. Absorption and band-gap energy analyses were carried out to confirm the suitability of CZTS thin films as the absorber layer in solar cell applications. Hall effect measurements showed the p-type semiconductor behavior of the CZTS samples. Moreover, the back contact behavior of these metallic flexible substrates was investigated and compared. We detected formation of cracks in the CZTS layer on the molybdenum foils, which indicates the incompatibility of molybdenum's thermal expansion coefficient with the CZTS structure. We demonstrated the application of the magnetron sputtering technique for the fabrication of CZTS thin films on titanium foils having lightweight, flexible properties and suitable for roll-to-roll manufacturing for high throughput fabrication. Titanium foils are also cost competitive compared to molybdenum foils. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.
