GaN and AlxGa1-xN alloys were grown by gas sourer molecular beam epitaxy using NH3. High quality GaN layers with smooth surfaces being obtained, reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) can be used to monitor the growth. The oscillations of the ...
Variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy was used to study the effect of kinetic cluster energy and rare-gas buffer layers on the deposition process of size-selected silver nanoclusters on a platinum(111) surface. Clusters with impact energies of ...
Measurements of anions and cations are reported for hydrocarbon and silane radio frequency capacitive glow discharges. Series of anions were observed by quadrupole mass spectrometry using power-modulated plasmas, and their structures are interpreted from t ...
The low energy part of proton induced SBD spectra have higher number of counts than expected from p+Si reactions. This is the case for all proton incident angles but the effect increases when approaching grazing angles. The effect is shown to be mainly due ...
Al-Sn layer structures were prepared by simultaneous evaporation of Al and Sn onto predeposited Al layers prepared on SiO2-covered Si wafer substrates, at a substrate temperature of 470 K and an oxygen partial pressure of 3 X 10(-3) Pa. The chemical state, ...
Thermal helium scattering is used to characterize the deposition of silver atoms on Pd (100) in the coverage range 0 to 10% of a monolayer, at surface temperature between 80 and 160 K, the latter being the threshold of adatom mobility. The attenuation of t ...
The in-situ growth of PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) and PbTiO3 (PT) thin films by reactive sputter deposition has been investigated for applications with silicon substrates. In-situ deposition from three simultaneously operating magnetron sources was applied. At the ...
Deposition, integration and application issues of ferroelectric thin films are briefly reviewed. Applications in ultrasonic micromotors and infra-red sensors are treated in more detail. Current results on stress measurements across the ferroelectric phase ...
Electronic device-quality Cu was deposited on Pt-patterned oxidized Si wafers from hexafluoroacetylacetonate-copper(I)-trimethylvinylsilane by using low-pressure chem. vapor deposition at 150-250 Deg in He carrier gas. Smooth Cu films ?0.8 mm thick have be ...
We study the deposition and the very first steps of nucleation and growth of Ag on Pd(100) with thermal energy atom scattering. This technique is a very sensitive and nonperturbing probe to surface point defects, which permits an in situ and in-time monito ...
