Full textThis thesis deals with the plastic behaviour of compound semiconductors in the low temperature--high stress regime. Compressive stress-strain curves are calculated with models based on the formalisms of Alexander-Haasen or Schoeck extended to include simple glide/multiglide and one/three types of perfect dislocations with different mobilities. The impossibility to describe the crystal plasticity below some temperature with the available dislocation velocities data suggests a change in the controlling microscopic mechanisms. The negative photoplastic effect in GaAs is simulated. Modelling the response of the crystal to Vickers indentation is performed using elastic analytical expressions for the stress tensor: the stress distribution can be considered as nearly spherical although the plastic zone is far from it. Early stages of the formation of the plastic zone are described with the continuum crystal plasticity theory implementing the constitutive laws into the finite element method

Full textThe study of semiconductor nano-objets has revealed amazing mechanical properties, different from what is commonly observed in bulk. Besides the technological interest of these objects, due to the ever more pronounced miniaturization of electronic devices, their intrinsic specificities make them particularly well suited for fundamental studies. During this thesis, we have thus studied the onset of plasticity in silicon nanowires, the first stages of plasticity being indeed deciding for the subsequent evolution of the system. Silicon is here considered as a model semiconductor. For that study, we have used atomistic simulations, which are well appropriate for the detailed analysis of the nano-objects atomic structure. We first recall the context of that study, both from the experiments and simulations points of view. We then present the numerical methods used. Thestudy of the deformation of monocrystalline nanowires is then described; it reveals in particular the deciding role of surfaces, and the activation of one slip system never observed in bulk silicon. This slip system is analyzed in details, and its activation is explained notably thanks to ab initio calculations. Finally, crystalline-amorphous core-shell silicon nanowires are considered; and shownto exhibit a different behavior from that of monocrystalline nanowires. Indeed, native defects at the crystalline/amorphous interface seem to act as seeds, favoring the nucleation of the first dislocation which gives rise to the plasticity

Full textFor the fabrication of nitride-based power microwave transistors, the InAlN alloy is considered to be a better barrier than AlGaN thanks to the lattice match with GaN for an indium composition around 18%. Thus the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is generated only by the spontaneous polarization at the AlInN/GaN heterointerface for a production of highest performance transistors. However, during its growth on GaN, its crystalline quality deteriorates with the thickness and V-defects are formed at the layer surface. To determine the sources of this behavior, we carried out a theoretical study by molecular dynamics and ab initio techniques to analyze the stability and the properties of alloys of nitride compounds, focusing particularly on InAlN. The analysis of the phase diagrams showed that this alloy has a wide zone of instability versus the indium composition and a different behavior with InGaN with amplified instability under high compressive strain. By determining the energetic stability of the nitrogen vacancy could be catalyst for forming clusters in this alloy. These InN clusters introduce deep donor levels inside the band gap. With regard to treading dislocations, our results show that they will also tend to capture indium atoms in their cores in order to minimize their energy. Thus, we have been able to provide a theoretical basis that show that the nitrogen vacancy participates in the spontaneous degradation of the AlInN layers and that the threading dislocations participate by attracting the indium atoms and thus reinforcing the separation of phase in their vicinity

Full textThis thesis is part of the study of fuel elements of pressurized water reactors and, more specifically, focus on the understanding and modelling of the viscoplastic behavior of uranium dioxide (UO$_2$) at polycrystalline scale. During the incidental operation of the reactor, the fuel undergoes a strong increase of temperature and thermal gradient between the center and the periphery of the pellet leading to viscoplastic strains due to dislocation movement mechanisms. First, a crystal plasticity model was developed in order to describe the viscoplastic anisotropy of the material considering the temperature and the loading rate. Finite element (FE) simulations on single crystals enabled to highlight that the three slip modes generally observed in UO$_2$ are crucial to describe the anisotropic behavior of the material. Secondly, coefficients of the interaction matrix have been identified specifically for UO$_2$ in order to improve the polycrystal modelling. Indeed, by calculating geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs), which are responsible of the great increase of the stored dislocation density in polycrystals, the interactions between dislocations enable to simulate de grain size sensitivity and hardening of the fuel pellet. Finally, the model adapted for polycrystals, have been validated by comparing FE simulations with pellet compression tests and by comparing the simulated intra-granular behavior with EBSD measurements. Thanks to the latter comparison, it is possible to indirectly compare the strain heterogeneities in the grains

Full textThis work is concerned with the microscopic mechanisms of inter granular fracture in an Al. Li. Cu. Mg. (Zr) alloy. By means of an original approach, it has been shown that the fracture of this alloy is due to his specific plastic deformation mode. Indeed, only a one single slip system is mainly activated due to a very pronounced crystallographic texture and the shearing of Al Li precipitates. Therefore incompatible deformation occurs between contiguous grains. It induces a localisation of the plastic deformation near the grain boundaries and the initiation of a very coarsened and sinuous slip. Inter granular granular cracks are mainly due to the interaction of slips with grain boundaries. The crack initiation is also enhanced because of the plastically interaction stress field induced by incompatibility problems between: the T2 phase and the precipitate free zone. In the last part of this work an inter granular crack initiation model is proposed from the formation of dislocations pile ups against the grain boundaries. This model leads to à clear understanding of the inter granular fracture in the againg Al. Li. Cu. Mg. (Zr) alloys

Full textIn the industry of the semiconductor, the contamination of silicon by metal impurities, like iron, in particular during thermal treatments at high temperatures, involves a degradation of the electrical characteristics as well as some reliability problems. Until now, the gettering stage was filled by a phosporus diffusion step after a POCI3 deposition. However this technique is not always sufficient or even possible on several types of components. A promising alternative is the use of helium implantation as gettering stage. The aim of this work was to study the evolution of the defects created by helium implantation, as well as the kinetics of trapping of metal impurity, iron. The influence of this trapping stage was observed through the evolution of electrical quantities, measured on Schottky and bipolar diodes. Using this technique, we have observed a reduction of the free iron concentration is observed and accompanied by a reduction of the leakage currents. In some components, it becomes inevitable to carry out a lateral gettering. Within this framework, we studied the lateral gettering using helium implantation, this element being implanted in periphery of the devices. The obtained results confirm the capacity of lateral gettering of the metal impurities by helium implantation. The lateral extension, using this type of gettering, can reach several millimeters, phenomenon being limited by the diffusion of the impurity to trap. The tests of this helium implantation step on a protection diode (produced by STMicroelectronics) have shown a great improvement of the fabrication yields

Full textIn the state of art of atomistic simulations, we have investigated energetics, atomic and electronic structures of different core configurations of prismatic and basal dislocations in wurtzite GaN. For that purpose, we have used three different methods: ab-initio DFT, tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) and an empirical potential (Modified Stillinger-Weber). We have provided the first atomistic models for the mixed dislocation core, where the configuration with a double 5/6-atoms ring corresponds to the structure already observed by Z-contrast imaging. We have also proposed, for the screw dislocation, a new core configuration, with a double 6-atoms ring, which is more energetically favourable than the configuration, with a single 6-atoms ring, known up to now. For this dislocation, we have, moreover, shown the presence of extended channels running along the core that may be at the origin of leakage currents, usually observed in GaN based devices. In case of basal dislocations, we have demonstrated for screw dislocations that the most energetically favourable core configuration belongs to the shuffle set, while a complete reconstruction of dangling bonds at the core of glide configurations do not lead necessarily to a lowering in core energy. For the mixed 60° dislocation, we have shown that the most energetically favourable core belongs to the glide set and possesses nitrogen polarity. A shuffle configuration with a complex 5/8/5-atoms ring structure, that contains wrong bonds, was found to be energetically favourable for the edge dislocation. This configuration is expected to result from a 90° bending of a screw dislocation with a double 6-atoms ring core during an ELO growth. All the core configurations of the edge dislocation were found to exhibit a large stress field. This may be a driving force for contamination of GaN layers grown by ELO with Si and O atoms which form the mask

Full textThe properties of the threading dislocations and their possible interactions with the InGaN quantum wells are theoretically investigated by using a modified empirical Stillinger-Weber potential (SW) and the first principle calculations (SIESTA package). All types of pure threading dislocations: a-edge, c-screw, a-screw and c-edge in InN and AlN have been systematically studied by using SW in comparison with GaN. The new core structures of c-screw dislocations in AlN and InN are found as same in GaN with the wrong bonds located in a plane. With SIESTA, the a-edge dislocations were treated by using the quadrupolar supercells in AlN, GaN and InN. The image effect due to the periodic boundary condition has been considered by the quadrupole summation and ghost dislocation methods. The corrected core energies have indicated that 8-atom core is more energetically feasible than 4- or 5/7-atom cores. The transferability of the Stillinger-Weber potential to the large distortion system has been validated. The strain effect reduces the energetic stability of systems, and the role of c-screw dislocation on the phase separation is studied. The formation of In-rich clusters is not energetically feasible, but would be possible in the core of c-screw dislocation. The strain in InGaN/GaN heterostructures further reduces the energetic stability. Suffering from the strain, N-Ga and N-In bonds are compressed, and an abnormal behavior of N-Ga bonds takes place: N-Ga bond length is reduced as a function of indium concentration when the strain is larger than the critical value. A force balance model has been proposed to explain the abnormality of N-Ga bonds in the strained InGaN quantum wells

Full textDue to their promising optoelectronic and electronic applications, nitrogen based III-V compound semiconductors (AlN, GaN, InN) and their alloys (InAlN, InGaN, AlGaN) have received a large research interest since the early 90’s. In this work, we have investigated the structural behaviour of InN layers and InAlN alloys in InAlN/AlN/GaN and InAlN/GaN heterostructures using complementary techniques: AFM, IBA, HRXRD, Raman and TEM. The study of InN layers has been carried out by HRXRD in order to determine the residual stress and the results were correlated with the morphology as investigated by AFM. The residual stress obtained by HRXRD has been compared with the Raman results, showing that all the layers were characterized by a non pure biaxial stress. The InAlN heterostructures for high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are ultra thin layers ranging from a few atomic monolayers to dozens of nanometers. Moreover, their structure can be quite complex in order to optimize the electron gas (2DEG) generated in the transistor channel. We have investigated InAlN layers with In content around 17 % which corresponds to the lattice-match to GaN. In this work, we have shown that it is not easy to control the local composition together with the structure and morphology, meaning that the InAlN layers quality is very sensitive to the growth conditions

Full textIn this work, we have carried out an extensive TEM investigation of misfit dislocations and strain relaxation in Sb-based III-V epitaxial layers on the GaAs and GaP substrates. On GaAs, we have investigated the influence of AlSb interlayer thickness and substrate surface treatment on the strain relaxation and threading dislocation density inside GaSb layers. Similarly, we studied the growth parameters, such as substrate surface treatment, growth rate, and growth temperature on the strain relaxation of 10 MLs GaSb on GaP. With the optimized GaSb buffer layers (600 nm), high mobility AlSb/InAs hetero-structures with room temperature mobility of 30000 cm2V-1s-1 (25500 cm2V-1s-1) on GaAs (GaP) substrates have been achieved. A growth mode dependence of the misfit dislocation has been observed: a 2D growth of GaSb promotes the generation of Lomer dislocations; in contrast 60o dislocations and closely spaced 60o pairs are predominantly generated in 3D growth mode. Consequently, a 60° dislocation glide model in combination with surface effects is able to account for the formation of Lomer, 60o, and 60o dislocation pairs at these hetero-interfaces. The core structures of the misfit dislocations and their stability have been investigated by atomic resolution HAADF and molecular dynamic simulation. The dislocation density tensor analysis was next used to quantify the burgers vector of the misfit dislocations. This precise measurement revealed the misfit dislocation formation mechanism in agreement with our proposed model
