摘要:
作为一种独特的钙钛矿型透明氧化物半导体,高迁移率 La 掺杂 BaSnO3 薄膜已通过分子束外延和脉冲激光沉积成功合成。然而,对于磁控溅射这一广泛适用且适合大规模制备的技术而言,生长高迁移率 La 掺杂 BaSnO3 薄膜仍然是一个重大挑战。在此,我们开发了一种利用高压磁控溅射在 SrTiO3 单晶衬底上直接合成高迁移率外延 La 掺杂 BaSnO3 薄膜的方法(室温下载流子密度约为 4.0 x 10^20 cm-3 时迁移率高达 121 cm2V-1s-1)。通过结合高分辨 X 射线衍射、X 射线光电子能谱和温度依赖的电输运测量,对 La 掺杂 BaSnO3 薄膜的结构和电学性质进行了表征。本工作中 La 掺杂 BaSnO3 薄膜的室温电子迁移率比已报道的磁控溅射生长薄膜的数值高 2 至 4 倍。此外,在高载流子密度范围(n > 3 x 10^20 cm-3)内,我们工作中 121 cm2V-1s-1 的电子迁移率值在所有已报道的掺杂 BaSnO3 薄膜中处于最高水平之列。研究揭示,溅射过程中的高氩气压在稳定完全弛豫薄膜和诱导氧空位方面起着关键作用,这有利于实现高室温迁移率。我们的工作为透明电子学领域大规模合成高迁移率透明导电薄膜提供了一种简便且经济的方法。
英文摘要:
As a unique perovskite transparent oxide semiconductor, high-mobility La-doped BaSnO3 films have been successfully synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy and pulsed laser deposition. However, it remains a big challenge for magnetron sputtering, a widely applied technique suitable for large-scale fabrication, to grow high-mobility La-doped BaSnO3 films. Here, we developed a method to synthesize high-mobility epitaxial La-doped BaSnO3 films (mobility up to 121 cm2V-1s-1 at the carrier density ~ 4.0 x 10^20 cm-3 at room temperature) directly on SrTiO3 single crystal substrates using high-pressure magnetron sputtering. The structural and electrical properties of the La-doped BaSnO3 films were characterized by combined high-resolution X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and temperature-dependent electrical transport measurements. The room temperature electron mobility of La-doped BaSnO3 films in this work is 2 to 4 times higher than the reported values of the films grown by magnetron sputtering. Moreover, in the high carrier density range (n > 3 x 10^20 cm-3), the electron mobility value of 121 cm2V-1s-1 in our work is among the highest values for all reported doped BaSnO3 films. It is revealed that high argon pressure during sputtering plays a vital role in stabilizing the fully relaxed films and inducing oxygen vacancies, which benefit the high mobility at room temperature. Our work provides an easy and economical way to massively synthesize high-mobility transparent conducting films for transparent electronics.

Structural and electrical properties of tantalum nitride thin films fabricated by using reactive radio-frequency magnetron sputtering
TaN薄膜是[FeN/TaN](n)多层膜中的一种有吸引力的中间层和扩散阻挡层,在高密度磁纪录中具有潜在的应用前景。采用反应射频溅射法,在不同的N-2分压下,在5 mAr/N-2气氛下,分别在玻璃和Si衬底上制备了两个系列的TaN薄膜,并对薄膜进行了系统的表征分析。当N2分压从0.0%增加到30%时,薄膜中的相发生了明显的变化,从bcc结构的Ta转变为bcc结构的Ta(N)和六方结构的Ta_2N的混合相,然后依次转变为fcc结构的TaN和TaN与富N相的混合相。这些变化与晶粒形状以及薄膜的择优晶向的变化有关,从bcc Ta [100]到[110],然后到随机,最后到fcc TaN [111]。在77-295 K范围内,它们还与薄膜电阻率从金属到类超导体行为的变化有关。薄膜呈现典型的多晶织构结构,具有小的结晶畴和不规则的晶粒形状。在薄膜中观察到平行于衬底表面的清晰的优选(111)堆叠,其中嵌入有非晶区。在25%N-2分压下获得了电阻率为6.0m Ω cm、具有[ 111]择优取向的TaN薄膜,可作为[FeN/TaN](n)多层膜的中间层。
