Arsenic-Doped High-Resistivity-Silicon Epitaxial Layers for Integrating Low-Capacitance Diodes.

ABSTRACT: An arsenic doping technique for depositing up to 40-μm-thick high-resistivity layers is presented for fabricating diodes with low RC constants that can be integrated in closely-packed configurations. The doping of the as-grown epi-layers is controlled down to 5 × 1011 cm-3, a value that is solely limited by the cleanness of the epitaxial reactor chamber. To ensure such a low doping concentration, first an As-doped Si seed layer is grown with a concentration of 1016 to 1017 cm-3, after which the dopant gas arsine is turned off and a thick lightly-doped epi-layer is deposited. The final doping in the thick epi-layer relies on the segregation and incorporation of As from the seed layer, and it also depends on the final thickness of the layer, and the exact growth cycles. The obtained epi-layers exhibit a low density of stacking faults, an over-the-wafer doping uniformity of 3.6%, and a lifetime of generated carriers of more than 2.5 ms. Furthermore, the implementation of a segmented photodiode electron detector is demonstrated, featuring a 30 pF capacitance and a 90 Ω series resistance for a 7.6 mm² anode area.

Anisotropic Resistivity Size Effect in Epitaxial Mo(001) and Mo(011) Layers.

Project description:Mo(001) and Mo(011) layers with thickness d = 4-400 nm are sputter-deposited onto MgO(001) and α-Al2O3(112¯0) substrates and their resistivity is measured in situ and ex situ at room temperature and 77 K in order to quantify the resistivity size effect. Both Mo(001) and Mo(011) layers are epitaxial single crystals and exhibit a resistivity increase with decreasing d due to electron surface scattering that is well described by the classical Fuchs and Sondheimer model. Data fitting yields room temperature effective electron mean free paths λ*= 14.4 ± 0.3 and 11.7 ± 0.3 nm, respectively, indicating an anisotropy with a smaller resistivity size effect for the Mo(011) orientation. This is attributed to a smaller average Fermi velocity component perpendicular to (011) surfaces, causing less surface scattering and a suppressed resistivity size effect. First-principles electronic structure calculations in combination with Boltzmann transport simulations predict an orientation dependent transport with a more pronounced resistivity increase for Mo(001) than Mo(011). This is in agreement with the measurements, confirming the effect of the Fermi surface shape on the thin-film resistivity. The predicted anisotropy λ001*/λ011* = 1.57 is in reasonable agreement with 1.66 and 1.23 measured at 77 and 295 K. The overall results indicate that the resistivity size effect in Mo is relatively small, with a measured product of the bulk resistivity times the effective electron mean free path ρoλ* = (7.7 ± 0.3) and (6.2 ± 0.2) × 10-16 Ωm2 for Mo(001) and Mo(011) layers. The latter value is in excellent agreement with the first-principles-predicted ρoλ = 5.99 × 10-16 Ωm2 and is 10% and 40% smaller than the reported measured ρoλ for Cu and W, respectively, indicating the promise of Mo as an alternate conductor for narrow interconnects.

Anomalous resistivity upturn in epitaxial L21-Co2MnAl films.

Project description:Despite of the great scientific and technology interest, highly ordered full-Heusler L21-Co2MnAl films have remained a big challenge in terms of the availability and the electrical transport. Here we report the controllable growth and the intriguing transport behavior of epitaxial L21-Co2MnAl films, which exhibit a low-temperature (T) resistivity upturn with a pronounced T1/2 dependence, a robust independence of magnetic fields, and a close relevance to structural disorder. The resistivity upturn turns out to be qualitatively contradictory to weak localization, particle-particle channel electron-electron interaction (EEI), and orbital two-channel Kondo effect, leaving a three-dimensional particle-hole channel EEI the most likely physical source. Our result highlights a considerable tunability of the structural and electronic disorder of magnetic films by varying growth temperature, affording unprecedented insights into the origin of the resistivity upturn.

Infrared Reflectance Analysis of Epitaxial n-Type Doped GaN Layers Grown on Sapphire.

Project description:Infrared (IR) reflectance spectroscopy is applied to study Si-doped multilayer n+/n0/n+-GaN structure grown on GaN buffer with GaN-template/sapphire substrate. Analysis of the investigated structure by photo-etching, SEM, and SIMS methods showed the existence of the additional layer with the drastic difference in Si and O doping levels and located between the epitaxial GaN buffer and template. Simulation of the experimental reflectivity spectra was performed in a wide frequency range. It is shown that the modeling of IR reflectance spectrum using 2 × 2 transfer matrix method and including into analysis the additional layer make it possible to obtain the best fitting of the experimental spectrum, which follows in the evaluation of GaN layer thicknesses which are in good agreement with the SEM and SIMS data. Spectral dependence of plasmon-LO-phonon coupled modes for each GaN layer is obtained from the spectral dependence of dielectric of Si doping impurity, which is attributed to compensation effects by the acceptor states.

Thermoelectric La-doped SrTiO<sub>3</sub> epitaxial layers with single-crystal quality: from nano to micrometers.

Project description:High-quality thermoelectric La0.2Sr0.8TiO3 (LSTO) films, with thicknesses ranging from 20 nm to 0.7 μm, have been epitaxially grown on SrTiO3(001) substrates by enhanced solid-source oxide molecular-beam epitaxy. All films are atomically flat (with rms roughness < 0.2 nm), with low mosaicity (<0.1°), and present very low electrical resistivity (<5 × 10-4 Ω cm at room temperature), one order of magnitude lower than standard commercial Nb-doped SrTiO3 single-crystalline substrate. The conservation of transport properties within this thickness range has been confirmed by thermoelectric measurements where Seebeck coefficients of approximately -60 μV/K have been recorded for all films. These LSTO films can be integrated on Si for non-volatile memory structures or opto-microelectronic devices, functioning as transparent conductors or thermoelectric elements.

Tunable resistivity exponents in the metallic phase of epitaxial nickelates.

Project description:We report a detailed analysis of the electrical resistivity exponent of thin films of NdNiO3 as a function of epitaxial strain. Thin films under low strain conditions show a linear dependence of the resistivity versus temperature, consistent with a classical Fermi gas ruled by electron-phonon interactions. In addition, the apparent temperature exponent, n, can be tuned with the epitaxial strain between n = 1 and n = 3. We discuss the critical role played by quenched random disorder in the value of n. Our work shows that the assignment of Fermi/Non-Fermi liquid behaviour based on experimentally obtained resistivity exponents requires an in-depth analysis of the degree of disorder in the material.

Al-, Ga-, Mg-, or Li-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles as electron transport layers for quantum dot light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Colloidal quantum dots and other semiconductor nanocrystals are essential components of next-generation lighting and display devices. Due to their easily tunable and narrow emission band and near-unity fluorescence quantum yield, they allow cost-efficient fabrication of bright, pure-color and wide-gamut light emitting diodes (LEDs) and displays. A critical improvement in the quantum dot LED (QLED) technology was achieved when zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were first introduced as an electron transport layer (ETL) material, which tremendously enhanced the device brightness and current efficiency due to the high mobility of electrons in ZnO and favorable alignment of its energy bands. During the next decade, the strategy of ZnO NP doping allowed the fabrication of QLEDs with a brightness of about 200 000 cd/m2 and current efficiency over 60 cd/A. On the other hand, the known ZnO doping approaches rely on a very fine tuning of the energy levels of the ZnO NP conduction band minimum; hence, selection of the appropriate dopant that would ensure the best device characteristics is often ambiguous. Here we address this problem via detailed comparison of QLEDs whose ETLs are formed by a set of ZnO NPs doped with Al, Ga, Mg, or Li. Although magnesium-doped ZnO NPs are the most common ETL material used in recently designed QLEDs, our experiments have shown that their aluminum-doped counterparts ensure better device performance in terms of brightness, current efficiency and turn-on voltage. These findings allow us to suggest ZnO NPs doped with Al as the best ETL material to be used in future QLEDs.

Bright Silicon Carbide Single-Photon Emitting Diodes at Low Temperatures: Toward Quantum Photonics Applications.

Project description:Color centers in silicon carbide have recently emerged as one of the most promising emitters for bright single-photon emitting diodes (SPEDs). It has been shown that, at room temperature, they can emit more than 109 photons per second under electrical excitation. However, the spectral emission properties of color centers in SiC at room temperature are far from ideal. The spectral properties could be significantly improved by decreasing the operating temperature. However, the densities of free charge carriers in SiC rapidly decrease as temperature decreases, which reduces the efficiency of electrical excitation of color centers by many orders of magnitude. Here, we study for the first time the temperature characteristics of SPEDs based on color centers in 4H-SiC. Using a rigorous numerical approach, we demonstrate that although the single-photon electroluminescence rate does rapidly decrease as temperature decreases, it is possible to increase the SPED brightness to 107 photons/s at 100 K using the recently predicted effect of hole superinjection in homojunction p-i-n diodes. This gives the possibility to achieve high brightness and good spectral properties at the same time, which paves the way toward novel quantum photonics applications of electrically driven color centers in silicon carbide.

Electrical Stabilization of Surface Resistivity in Epitaxial Graphene Systems by Amorphous Boron Nitride Encapsulation.

Project description:Homogeneous monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is an ideal candidate for the development of millimeter-sized devices with single-crystal domains. A clean fabrication process was used to produce EG-based devices, with n-type doping level of the order of 1012 cm-2. Generally, electrical properties of EG, such as longitudinal resistivity, remain unstable when devices are exposed to air due to adsorption of molecular dopants, whose presence shifts the carrier density close to the Dirac point (<1010 cm-2) or into the p-type regime. Here, we report experimental results on the use of amorphous boron nitride (a-BN) as an encapsulation layer, whereby EG can maintain its longitudinal resistivity and have its carrier density modulated. Furthermore, we exposed 12 devices to controlled temperatures of up to 85 °C and relative humidity of up to 85% and reported that an approximately 20 nm a-BN encapsulation thickness is sufficient to preserve their longitudinal resistivity to within 10% of the previously measured value. We monitored the electronic properties of our encapsulated and nonencapsulated EG samples by magnetotransport measurements, using a neodymium iron boron magnet. Our results have essential importance in the mass production of millimeter-scale graphene devices, with stable electrical properties.

Effect of Low Pressure on Surface Roughness and Morphological Defects of 4H-SiC Epitaxial Layers.

Project description:In this work, 4H-SiC epilayers are performed on 4° off-axis substrates under low pressure condition by horizontal hot wall chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) with a standard chemistry of silane-propane-hydrogen, which focuses on the effects of growth pressure on morphology, basal plane dislocations (BPDs) and crystalline quality. It is found that morphological defects reduce with the decreasing of growth pressure, since the surface diffusion length of absorbed adatoms increases under low growth pressure, which suppresses the nucleation of adatoms on terraces and the formation of morphological defects. However, as the surface diffusion length increases under low growth pressure, the difference of growth velocity at steps is enhanced, which leads to the extension of the steps' width and the formation of step-bunching. Besides variation of surface diffusion length, the phenomenon described above can be correlated with different dominate modes for the minimization of surface energy at varied growth pressure. Because of the contrary influence of increased C/Si ratio and enhanced step-flow growth on the propagation of BPDs, the dislocation densities of BPDs and threading edge dislocations (TEDs) in epilayers grown at varied pressures remain basically unchanged. The crystalline quality is almost independent of growth pressure based on high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) measurements.
