OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF RADIATION DAMAGED SILICON-CARBIDE

Ballart, Ralph January 1980 (has links)
The reflectivity of crystalline and radiation-damaged silicon carbide and silicon has been measured in the 2-12 eV spectral region. Measurements were made using a standard Seya-Namioka Monochrometer which was modified to compensate for the fluctuations of the light source and interfaced to a micro-computer to facilitate data collection. The reflectivities of crystalline silicon carbide polytypes 6H, 15R, and 4H were found to be similar and the reflectivity of 3C-SiC showed agreement with the predictions of published band structure calculations. The observed reflectivity of radiation damage SiC agreed with the prediction of a simple model which takes into account the breakdown of k(→) -conservation and uses a realistic Bethe-lattice Hamiltonian to calculate the amorphous valence density of electron states.

A study of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon thin films deposited by hot-wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD).

Halindintwali, Sylvain January 2005 (has links)
In this thesis, intrinsic hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon thin films for solar cells application have been deposited by means of the hot &ndash / wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD) technique and have been characterised for their performance. It is noticed that&nbsp / hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon is similar in some aspects (mainly optical) to its counterpart amorphous silicon actually used as the intrinsic layer in the photovoltaic industry. Substantial differences between the two materials have been found however in their respective structural and electronic properties.<br /> <br /> We show that hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon retains good absorption coefficients known for amorphous silicon in the visible region. The order improvement and a reduced content of the bonded hydrogen in the films are linked to their good stability. We argue that provided a moderate hydrogen dilution ratio in the monosilane gas and efficient process pressure in the deposition chamber, intrinsic hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon with photosensitivity better than 102 and most importantly resistant to the Staebler Wronski effect (SWE) can be produced. <br /> <br /> This work explores the optical, structural and electronic properties of this promising material whose study &ndash / samples have been exclusively produced in the HWCVD reactors based in the Solar Cells laboratory of the Physics department at the University of the Western Cape.

A fotoluminescência (PL) atribuída aos filmes de a-SiNx:H foi investigada em termos das condições de deposição e correlacionadas com suas propriedades estruturais e de recozimento pós-deposição. Entre as propriedades caracterizadas estão: estequiometria, taxa de deposição, índice de refração, coeficiente de extinção, bandgap ótico E04, concentração de térbio e vizinhança química presente ao redor de íons Tb3+. Concentrações de Tb da ordem de 1.8 at.% ou 1.4×?10?^21 at/cm^3 foram obtidas em amostras crescidas por Sputtering enquanto que concentrações de 14.0 at.%, ou da ordem ?10?^22 at/cm^3, puderam ser obtidas em amostras crescidas por ECR PECVD. Em Sputtering, a incorporação de Tb varia linearmente com a área recoberta por pastilhas de Tb4O7 em pó, enquanto que em PECVD, a incorporação de Tb é inversamente proporcional e pode ser ajustada sensivelmente pelo fluxo de gás SiH4. Forte emissão de luz, atribuída às transições eletrônicas em Tb3+ (PL do Tb), foi obtida em filmes não-recozidos que possuíam bandgap estequiométrico (E04 = 4.7 ± 0.4 eV and x = 1.5 ± 0.2). Espectros de PL do Tb não mostraram mudanças significativas no formato e na posição dos picos de emissão devido a alterações na temperatura de recozimento, nas condições de deposição ou entre amostras crescidas por diferentes técnicas de deposição. Entretanto, esses parâmetros influenciaram fortemente a intensidade da PL do Tb. Estudos da estrutura fina de absorção de raios-X (XAFS) em filmes crescidos por sputtering mostraram a estabilidade da vizinhança química ao redor dos íons Tb3+ mesmo em altas temperaturas (1100ºC). Investigações por sonda atômica tomográfica (APT) não encontraram formação de nanoclusters envolvendo ou não Tb, mesmo após recozimentos em altas temperaturas. Isso sugere que a excitação de Tb3+ deve ocorrer através da própria matriz hospedeira amorfa e não por mudanças no campo cristalino e, portanto, na força de oscilador das transições eletrônicas do Tb3+. Caracterização da densidade de ligações Si-H por espectroscopia infravermelha a transformada de Fourier (FTIR) em filmes recozidos em diferentes temperaturas foi relacionada com a intensidade da PL do Tb. Ela mostra que um decréscimo na densidade das ligações Si-H, que está relacionada a um aumento na concentração de ligações pendentes de Si (Si-dbs), resulta em filmes com maior intensidade na PL do Tb. Portanto, isso sugere que a excitação de Tb3+ parece acontecer através de transições envolvendo Si-dbs e estados estendidos, o que é consistente com o modelo de excitação Auger por defeitos (DRAE) / Abstract: This work offers optical and structural characterization of terbium (Tb) doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitrides thin films (a-SiNx:H) grown by electron cyclotron resonance plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ECR PECVD) and reactive RF-Sputtering with the purpose of advancing the investigation in fabrication of novel materials and the mechanisms of light emission of Tb ions when embedded in Si-based materials. Photoluminescence (PL) of a-SiNx:H films were investigated and correlated with the deposition conditions, structural properties, and post-deposition thermal treatments (isochronal annealing under flow of N2). Among the characterized properties are: film stoichiometry, deposition rate, refractive index, extinction coefficient, optical bandgap, terbium concentration, and the chemical neighborhood around Tb ions. Tb concentrations of about 1.8 at.% or 1.4×?10?^21 at/cm^3 have been achieved in Sputtering system while concentrations of 14.0 at.%, or about ?10?^22 at/cm^3, could be achieved in ECR PECVD samples. In Sputtering, Tb incorporation varies linearly with the covered area of the Si target by Tb4O7 powder pellets, while in PECVD, Tb incorporation is inversely proportional to and can be sensitively adjusted through SiH4 gas flow. Bright PL attributed to Tb3+ electronic transitions (Tb PL) were obtained in as-deposited films with stoichiometric bandgaps (E04 = 4.7 ± 0.4 eV and x = 1.5 ± 0.2). The Tb PL spectra did not show any significant change in shape and in PL peak positions due to alterations in annealing temperature, deposition conditions or due to the used deposition method. However, these parameters strongly affected Tb PL intensity. Studies of X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in Sputtering grown films show the stability of the chemical neighborhood around Tb3+ under annealing conditions even after thermal treatments at temperatures as high as 1100ºC. Atom probe tomography (APT) investigation also found no formation of nanoclusters of any type (involving Tb ions or not) after high temperature annealing treatments suggesting that Tb3+ excitation should come from the amorphous host matrix itself and not by changes in crystal field and thus in oscillator strength of Tb3+ electronic transitions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization of Si-H bond density in films treated atin different annealing temperatures were crossed correlated with Tb PL intensity. It shows that a decrease in Si-H bond density, related to increase in Si dangling bonds (Si-dbs) concentration, results in greater Tb PL intensity. Thus, it suggests that excitation of Tb3+ happens through transitions involving silicon dangling bonds and extended states, consistent with the defect related Auger excitation model (DRAE) / Doutorado / Física / Doutor em Ciências / 142174/2012-2 / 010308/2014-08 / CNPQ / CAPES
