Abstract:

The deposition of a compact amorphous silicon/nano-crystalline silicon material is demonstrated by hot-wire chemical vapour deposition using a sequential hydrogen profiling technique at low hydrogen dilutions. Nano-crystallite nucleation occurs at the substrate interface that develops into a uniform, porous crystalline structure as the growth progresses. A further reduction in the H-dilution results in the onset of a dense amorphous silicon layer. The average crystalline volume fraction and nano-crystallite size in the sample bulk amounts to 30% and 6 nm, respectively, as probed by Raman spectroscopy using the 647 nm excitation. The change in hydrogen dilution is accompanied by a graded hydrogen concentration depth-profile, where the hydrogen concentration decreases as the growth progresses. The level of post-deposition oxidation is considerably reduced, as inferred from infrared spectroscopy. The presence of oxygen is mainly confined to the substrate interface as a result of thermal oxidation during thin film growth.

Abstract:

The research of the nano-mechanical properties on mono-crystalline silicon by nanoindention technology is reported in this paper . Using the calculation method given by Oliver and Pharr, the hardness and the elastic modulus of mono-crystalline silicon are gained from the load-penetration depth curve. The simulation on mono-crystalline silicon in the plastic phase is carried out by ABAQUS. Based on the bilinear constitutive law and approximate relationship between the hardness and the yield strength, the obtained load-penetration depth curve through the finite element method is compared with the materials actual load-penetration depth curve and good correlation is achieved.

Abstract:

We report on the dewetting process, in a high vacuum environment, of amorphous Ge thin films on SiO2/Si (001). A detailed insight of the dewetting is obtained by in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction and ex situ scanning electron microscopy. These characterizations show that the amorphous Ge films dewet into Ge crystalline nano-islands with dynamics dominated by crystallization of the amorphous material into crystalline nano-seeds and material transport at Ge islands. Surface energy minimization determines the dewetting process of crystalline Ge and controls the final stages of the process. At very high temperatures, coarsening of the island size distribution is observed.

Abstract:

The formation of nano sized Si structures during the annealing of silicon rich oxide (SRO) films was investigated. These films were synthesized by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) and used as precursors, a post-deposition thermal annealing leads to the formation of Si nano crystals in the SiO 2 matrix and Si nano islands ( Si nI ) at c-Si /SRO interface. The influences of the excess Si concentration, the incorporation of N in the SRO precursors, and the presence of a Si concentration gradient on the Si nI formation were studied. Additionally the influence of pre-deposition substrate surface treatments on the island formation was investigated. Therefore, the substrate surface was mechanical scratched, producing high density of net-like scratches on the surface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to characterize the synthesized nano islands. Results show that above mentioned parameters have significant influences on the Si nIs . High density nanosized Si islands can epitaxially grow from the c-Si substrate. The reported method is very simple and completely compatible with Si integrated circuit technology.

Abstract:

In this paper, micro-nano scratching experiments were conducted on mono-crystalline silicon wafer to investigate the material removal mechanism of silicon. Two loading methods (increasing-loading and constant-loading) were used. The characteristics of the scratching grooves, and the relationship between the groove size and the load were analyzed by observing the surface torography and measuring the groove. The results show that there are four distinct regimes existed with an increasing scratching load: elastic regime, ductile regime, ductile-brittle regime and brittle regime. The critical load of the transition from ductile to ductile-brittle regime can be considered as 120mN, within which smooth scratching surfaces have been obtained by ductile removal. The scratching load has very significant effects on the groove sizes of the mono-crystal silicon.

Abstract:

Diamond films prepared by chemical vapor deposition will exhibit different surface morphologies, which are determined by the texture and the structural perfection of the deposited diamond. In general, its surface morphology can be controlled by adjusting the deposition conditions. In the present work, <110> textured diamond film was deposited on single crystalline silicon through pre-seeding by diamond nanosheets, rather than controlling the deposition conditions. The employed diamond nano-sheets were prepared by cleavage along a plane, exhibiting good crystallinity. Before chemical vapor deposition, the as-prepared diamond nano-sheets were pre-seeded on the surface of single crystalline silicon as nucleation sites for diamond growth. SEM and XRD results show that the prepared diamond films have a <110> texture. FIB observation reveals that diamonds homogeneously grow on the pre-seeded diamond nano-sheets during chemical vapor deposition, achieving the diamond film with <110> texture. Our work provides a new strategy to prepare <110> textured diamond film.

Abstract:

Unique electronic properties of graphene offer highly interesting ways to manipulate the functional properties of surfaces and develop novel structures which are sensitive to physical and chemical interactions. Nano-crystalline graphene is frequently preferable to crystalline monolayer in detecting devices. In this work, nano-crystalline graphene layers were synthesized directly on SiO2/Si substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). The influence of the deposition time and temperature on the characteristics of the structures were studied. The optical properties and evaporation kinetics of pure water droplets were analysed, along with arrangement and composition of the grown layers. The nano-crystalline graphene layers grown at 500 °C were characterised by the refraction index 2.75 ± 0.35 and the normalised excess Gibbs free energy density 0.85/γwater 10−4 m, both being similar to those of the monolayer graphene. The changes in the refraction index and the excess Gibbs free energy were related to the parameters of the Raman spectra and a correlation with the technological variables were disclosed.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTWe describe the properties of nano-crystalline silicon based alloy (nc-SiXY) prepared by a very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD) technique with silane (SiH4) and XY gas mixtures and diluted in hydrogen (H2) at low deposition temperature. Varying the gas ratio among SiH4, H2 and XY gasses could alter the optical bandgap and structure. The nc-Si films with high crystalline volume fraction were first prepared, and then the XY gasses were added in order to tune the microstructure and opto-electronic properties of this nano-crystalline silicon based alloy. We have characterized the materials using UV-VIS-NIR, Raman, Constant Photocurrent Method (CPM), dark- and photo-conductivity. As XY gas flows were increased, the optical bandgap of nc-SiXY films increased, while its crystalline volume fraction and conductivity decreased. With proper control of the silane concentration, XY/SiH4 gas ratio, and deposition pressure, we have fabricated the nc-SiXY film with optical bangap of about 1.5eV. Applying this material as the absorber layer in p-i-n devices with configuration of textured ZnO/nc-p+/nc-SiXY/a-n+/Ag, the efficiency is 7.25% (Voc=0.616V, Jsc=17.69mA/cm2, FF= 0.666) with thickness of ∼0.8μm.

Abstract:

Formation of nano-crystalline p+ silicon (Si) in pinholes through a silicon dioxide layer was achieved by pinning of aluminum through the thin silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer. In addition to opening holes of SiO2 layer by aluminum (Al) pining, amorphous silicon (a-Si) was subsequent deposited on the Al layer and another heated at low temperature (500°C) to allow solid- phase epitaxial growth of p+ Si in the pinholes due to the Al induced layer exchange process. The poly-crystalline p+ Si obtains lower effective surface recombination than the Al back surface field (BSF). The technique demonstrated to result in ohmic contacts with low contact resistance. The evaluation of Al-induced crystallization of a-Si in a-Si/Al bilayer was studied by X-ray diffraction. In this paper, the influence of a-Si/Al thickness ratio on the specific conductivity value and crystalline grain size of the p+ Si thin film is discussed. The obtained results are helpful for a further design of the rear passivation contact in solar cell.

Abstract:

Recently, the growth process and relaxation process of crystalline structures were studied by observing a SI nano-pyramid which was built on a Si surface with a UHV-STM. A UHV-STM (JEOL JSTM-4000×V) was used for studying a heated specimen, and the specimen was kept at high temperature during observation. In this study, the nano-fabrication technique utilizing the electromigration effect between the STM tip and the specimen was applied. We observed Si atoms migrated towords the tip on a high temperature Si surface.Clean surfaces of Si(lll)7×7 and Si(001)2×l were prepared In the UHV-STM at a temperature of approximately 600 °C. A Si nano-pyramid was built on the Si surface at a tunneling current of l0nA and a specimen bias voltage of approximately 0V in both polarities. During the formation of the pyramid, Images could not be observed because the tip was stopped on the sample. After the formation was completed, the pyramid Image was observed with the same tip. After Imaging was started again, the relaxation process of the pyramid started due to thermal effect.

Abstract:

Recent experimental and theoretical work has demonstrated significant potential to tune the properties of silicon and germanium by adjusting the mesostructure, nanostructure, and/or crystalline structure of these group 14 elements. Despite the promise to achieve enhanced functionality with these already technologically important elements, a significant challenge lies in the identification of effective synthetic approaches that can access metastable silicon and germanium-based extended solids with a particular crystal structure or specific nano/meso-structured features. In this context, the class of intermetallic compounds known as Zintl phases has provided a platform for discovery of novel silicon and germanium-based materials. This review highlights some of the ways in which silicon and germanium-based Zintl phases have been utilized as precursors in innovative approaches to synthesize new crystalline modifications, nanoparticles, nanosheets, and mesostructured and nanoporous extended solids with properties that can be very different from the ground states of the elements.

Abstract:

A mixture of silicon carbide nano-particles and nano-whiskers has been synthesized through solid state reduction of silica by graphite employing high energy planetary ball milling for 25 h and subsequent heat treatment at 1300-1700°C in dynamic argon atmosphere. Effects of process conditions on the thermal behavior, phase composition and morphology of the samples were investigated using DTA/TGA, XRD and SEM, technique, respectively. DTA/TGA analysis shows that silicon carbide starts to form at ~ 1250°C. Analysis of the XRD patterns indicates that the phase composition of the sample heat treated at 1300°C for 2 h mainly consists of SiO 2 together with small amount of β- SiC . Nano-crystalline silicon carbide phase with a mean crystallite size of 38 nm was found to be dominate phase on heat treatment temperature at ~ 1500°C. Substantial SiO 2 was still remained in the above sample. SEM studies reveal that the sample heat treated at 1500°C for 2 h contains nano-particles and nano-whisker of β- SiC with a mean diameter of almost ~ 85 nm. The results obtained were also showed that the characteristics of the synthesized SiC particles strongly depend on the mechanical activation and heat treatment conditions.

Abstract:

Surface textures that result in high optical yields are crucial for high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) devices. In this work three different texturing approaches are presented that result in smooth concave structures devoid of sharp features. Such features can sustain the crack-free growth of device quality nano- to poly-crystalline materials such as nano-crystalline silicon, perovskites or C(I)GS, facilitating routes towards hybrid multijunction PV devices. A sacrificial implanted poly-c-Si layer is used to develop a random surface texture for the first texturing approach (Tsac). The influence of the processing conditions, such as layer thickness, implantation energy, dose and ion type, annealing time and temperature, of the sacrificial layer on the developed surface features is investigated. Additionally, a photolithographically developed honeycomb texture (Thoney) is presented. The influence of mask design on the honeycomb features is discussed and a relation is established between the honeycomb period and crack formation in nano-crystalline silicon layers. The reflective properties (spectral reflection, haze in reflection and angular intensity distribution) of these approaches are characterized and compared to a third texturing approach, Tsp, the result of chemically smoothened pyramidal <111> features. It was demonstrated that high optical scattering yields can be achieved for both Thoney and Tsp. Additionally, the performance of a-Si/nc-Si tandem devices processed onto the different textures is compared using both optical device simulations and real device measurements. Simulations demonstrate strong improvements in Jsc-sum (≈45%), in reference to a flat surface, and high Voc*FF of over 1 V are demonstrated for Tsp.
