旋涂法制备功能薄膜的研究进展

旋涂法制备功能薄膜的研究进展摘要:作为众多的薄膜制备方法之一,旋涂法具备薄膜厚度精确可控、高性价比、节能、低污染等优势,在微电子技术、纳米光子学、生物学、医学等领域中有着广阔的应用前景.功能薄膜是发展信息技术、生物技术、能源技术等领域和国防建设的重要表面材料和器件,关系到资源、环境及社会的可持续发展.旋涂法制备的薄膜厚度在30nm一2000nm之间精确可控,其设备结构简单且易于操作,具备优良的性价比.现已广泛应用于微电子行业的光刻图案化( Lithographic patterning process ) 、印刷电路(Printed circuit)和集成电路(Integrated circuit)的制造,以及光储存媒体介质( DVD- R、CD- R等)的感光胶( P h o t o r e s i s t ) 、染料( Dye ) 、粘合剂、物理保护层等聚合物薄膜的涂覆.旋涂法在其它许多新型领域也有一定的应用,如薄膜晶体管、光子晶体材料、光波导、有机发光二极管薄膜、光电转换薄膜电极以及生物/化学功能膜等薄膜类器件的制备.旋涂法涉及到许多物理化学过程,如流体流动、润湿、挥发、粘滞、分散、浓缩等.在研究这些过程时,流体力学传质、传热、传动的原理是非常重要的.其中,需要考虑的参数主要包括薄膜的结构、厚度、面积等性能参数以及转速、粘度、挥发速率等操作参数[1,2,3]。

1、旋涂法原理旋涂法因其所用流体粘度较大,呈胶体状,所以也被称为匀胶。

一个典型的旋涂过程主要分为滴胶、高速旋转和干燥( 溶剂挥发) 三个步骤.首先,滴胶是将旋涂液滴注到基片表面上,然后经高速旋转将其铺展到基片上形成均匀薄膜,再通过干燥除去剩余的溶剂,最后得到性能稳定的薄膜.对于各种粘度、润湿性不同的旋涂液,通常使用的滴胶方法有两种,即静态滴胶和动态滴胶[4],旋涂法中的高速旋转和干燥是控制薄膜厚度、结构等性能的关键步骤,因此这两个阶段中工艺参数的影响成为研究的重点[5].2、旋涂法的研究现状旋涂法符合光学、微电子学、纳米光子学、纳米电子学等许多薄膜类器件的制备要求.在微电子行业中,运用旋涂法制备出的新型薄膜晶体管器件具有电子迁移率高、厚度精确、均匀稳定等优良的性能,该薄膜可广泛用于制造LED显示屏、存储智能卡、微处理器等电子器件.例如IBM托马斯·J·沃森研究中心的科研工作者们[6,7]在高纯硅片上运用旋涂法制备出特定晶型结构、纳米级厚度的场效应电晶体薄膜,并大量减少了传统工艺中有毒溶剂的用量.在与电化学法、物理/化学气相沉积法等薄膜制备技术对比时,旋涂法具备工艺条件温和、操作控制简单等独特优势,所以在降低污染、节能、提高性价比等方面效果显著.近年来,旋涂法不断受到人们重视,其应用逐渐推广到物理学。

As an alternative to a simple furnace annealing step in which a-Si is converted to c-Si with 1 µm grains, an epitaxial crystal growth process is presented here. First a seed layer is prepared on glass by diode laser crystallization of an a-Si layer on glass to result in 100 µm grains. Then a-Si is deposited on top of the seed which is converted to c-Si by epitaxial growth. A 1.1 µm thick c-Si layer with 100 µm grains was produced in this way. The paper presents details of the epitaxial growth process.Keywords: Si-Films, Epitaxy, Multicrystalline Silicon1 INTRODUCTIONCrystalline silicon thin film solar cells on glass substrates are a low cost alternative to silicon wafer cells. The challenge is to produce a suitable crystalline silicon thin film at temperatures up to 650°C endured by the glass. One way is employed by the company CSG (Thalheim, Germany) [1]. In the CSG-process first an amorphous silicon (a-Si) film with the desired doping profile is deposited by PECVD, which within 18 hours is crystallized by solid phase crystallization (SPC) in a furnace. SPC results in crystal grains in the 1 µm range. Solar cell efficiencies of up to 10.4% were achieved.Solar cells on glass with grains two orders of magni-tude larger can be produced by Layered Laser Crystalli-zation (LLC) [2]. In this process one starts from a diode laser crystallized a-Si layer. The resulting multi-crystalline layer has a grain size of about 100 µm and is used as a seed layer for the following epitaxial thickening process. This is done by continuously depositing a-Si on top of the seed and repeatedly applying excimer laser pulses during the deposition. The laser pulses melt the newly deposited a-Si for about 100 ns resulting in epi-taxial growth on top of the crystalline layer below. 2 µm thick cells showed an open circuit voltage of 514 mV and 20 mA/cm² short circuit current even without light trapping [3]. The LLC technology gives layers with the worldwide largest crystalline silicon grains on low temperature substrates. However, the repeated excimer laser irradiation of the growing layer is a technological challenge for industrial production.By combining both the mentioned methods, that is seed layer preparation by diode laser crystallization followed by a furnace annealing step for epitaxial growth of an a-Si layer system 100 µm large crystallites for a multicrystalline silicon thin film cell can be prepared as well. The advantage of this epitaxial solid phase crystalli-zation (ESPC) is the, compared to the LLC process, rather simple technology, which easily may be used in large scale production, and which gives crystal sizes two orders of magnitude larger than the CSG-SPC-process. Moreover, the required crystallization time is even lower.The temperature dependent nucleation and growth rates of c-Si in an a-Si matrix are described in [4,5]. For the ESPC process the problem is the competition of epitaxial growth from the seed with the nucleation of crystallites in the amorphous matrix, which leads to fine grained silicon. Beneficial for the ESPC process is the time lag of nucleation, which is the time needed for the evolution of a distribution of crystalline nuclei in a-Si exceeding the critical size [6]. Only after this time lag the stationary nucleation rate applies. At 600°C the time lag amounts to several hours whereas at 650°C it reduces to about 1 h. This time can be used for undisturbed epitaxial growth starting on the laser crystallized seed layer. A challenge is to find a temperature regime in which epi-taxy is fast enough so that no spontaneous nucleation occurs until epitaxy has converted the whole a-Si layer into c-Si. Another challenge is to get a clean enough interface between the seed and the a-Si so that epitaxy may occur.In the paper the kinetics of the epitaxial growth and the resulting crystal structure are investigated as depend-ing on deposition rate of a-Si. The properties of the films are discussed. The described methods will be used in the European project HIGH-EF to develop multicrystalline silicon thin film solar cells on glass.2 EXPERIMENTALThe preparation of the layer system for the multicrystalline silicon thin film solar cell is done in the following way. In a first step onto a borosilicate glass substrate a several 100 nm thick hydrogen free amor-phous silicon (a-Si) layer is deposited by electron beam evaporation. This layer is crystallized by scanning the 100 µm wide line focus beam of a diode laser (806 nm wavelength, about 10 kW/cm² power density) at a rate of 5 cm/s [2,7]. This procedure, which is performed in am-bient air, generates crystallites in the 100 µm range to act as a seed layer for further processing. After removing an oxide layer on top of the seed layer by etching in 2% HF and an excimer laser cleaning pulse, up to 1.1 µm of a-Si is deposited by electron beam evaporation at rates rang-ing from 10 to 230 nm/min. This layer is in the final step converted to a multicrystalline structure by epitaxial growth from the seed. The EPSC step is performed by a furnace anneal at 600°C or 650°C under Ar gas flow. For comparison, a-Si was crystallized by SPC without seed layer under the same conditions.To monitor the crystallization kinetics the transmission of the Si layers was recorded during the annealing. To this end the beam of a low power HeNelaser (632 nm wavelength) was introduced into the furnace. After passing the sample the transmitted intensity was recorded by a photodiode outside the furnace. The crystal structure after crystallization was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by EBSD (electron back scattering diffraction) which gives orientation maps of the crystal structure in a surface region of the sample.3 RESULTSThe typical fine grained crystal structure following from furnace SPC of a-Si on glass is shown in Fig. 1. The grain size is below 2 µm with no preferential crystal orientation. Fig. 2 shows the evolution of the trans-mission during the annealing which reflects the kinetics of the crystallization. As is obvious a remarkable in-crease of transmission due to an increasing amount of crystalline parts in the film starts after about 6 h. This is a hint for the time lag of nucleation. After the time lag a sigmoidal increase of transmission and of crystal content occurs due to nucleation and growth of crystallites. After about 10 h complete crystallization is achieved.Figure 1: EBSD map of a 1.1 µm thick a-Si layer on glass deposited at 100 nm/min and SPC crystallized by annealing at 600°C for 11 h.Figure 2: Evolution of transmission of an a-Si layer on glass deposited at 100 nm/min during annealing at 600°CIt turned out that the time lag of nucleation as well as the time needed for complete crystallization of a-Si deposited by electron beam evaporation depends on the deposition rate. This is shown in Fig. 3 for an annealing temperature of 600°C. Of particular interest is the time lag which varies between 6 and 25 h.Figure 3: Time lag of nucleation and time for complete crystallization of a 500 nm thick a-Si layer on glass for annealing at 600°C as depending on the deposition rate.In contrast to SPC the epitaxial growth experiments on top of a laser crystallized seed layer lead to much larger crystallites. Fig 4 shows the EBSD map of a seed layer which demonstrates that it consists of grains in the 100 µm range. There is no preferred crystal orientation.Figure 4: EBSD map of a diode laser crystallized seed layer on glass.Fig. 5 shows the evolution of the transmission during EPSC of a 500 nm thick a-Si layer at 600°C which was deposited at a rate of 100 nm/min on top of a laser crystallized seed layer on glass. There is no time lag in epitaxial growth. Instead from the beginning a nearly linear increase of transmission and therefore of crystal amount is observed. After 5.5 h the crystallization is complete. This is less than the time lag of nucleation atthe same temperature. Therefore one does not expect thatnuclei form in the a-Si matrix during the time needed for epitaxial growth.The complete transformation to large grains up to the surface is confirmed by the EBSD map of a 500 nm thick layer, which was taken after 5.5 h annealing at 600°C (Fig. 6). This Figure demonstrates that all grain orientat-ions present in the seed grew epitaxially to the surface. Fig. 7 shows a corresponding TEM cross section image of a 550 nm thick ESPC layer on a seed layer demonstrating that perfect epitaxy occurred. For this to occur a perfectly clean surface of the seed prior to a-Si deposition is crucial.Figure 5: Evolution of transmission of a 500 nm thick a-Si layer deposited at 90 nm/min on a seed layer during annealing at 600°C.Figure 6: EBSD map of a layer system of a 500 nm thick ESPC layer annealed for 5.5 h at 600°C on top of a laser crystallized seed.As for SPC also in ESPC the time needed for complete crystallization, i.e. the epitaxial growth speed, depends on the deposition rate of the a-Si (Fig. 8).Comparing the time needed for ESPC with the time lag (Fig. 3), both as depending on deposition rate, we learn that for 500 nm thick a-Si film at 600°C epitaxial growth is completed within the time lag of nucleation independent of the deposition rate. To completely epitaxially crystallize layers thicker than 500 nm one needs a-Si layers in which the time lag as well as the epitaxial growth speed are as large as possible. This requires a-Si films deposited at rates of about 200 nm/min. In this case the time lag of 14 h is larger than the time needed for epitaxial growth even for a 1µm thick film. Fig. 9 shows the EBSD image of a 1.1 µm thick film crystallized by ESPC at 600°C for 12 h. As for the thinner films large crystals extend up to the surface. Figure 7: TEM cross section image of a layer system consisting of ESPC layer (Si2) on seed (Si1) after annealing for only 7 h at 600°C.Figure 8: Time needed for complete ESPC of a 500 nm thick a-Si layer on top of a seed at an annealing temperature of 600°C.An appreciable reduction in the processing time can be achieved by increasing the annealing temperature. Fig.10 shows the evolution of transmission of a 500 nm thick a-Si layer on a crystalline seed during ESPC at 650°C. The change in transmission immediately starts as is typ-ical for epitaxial growth. After about 1 h the crystalliz-ation is complete. The EBSD map of Fig. 11, however, shows that not all grains of the seed continue to the surface. This is confirmed by the TEM cross section image of Fig 12, where on top of the seed (Si1) about 100 nm of the deposited a-Si epitaxially crystallized (Si2) but the remaining a-Si on top was concerted to fine grained material (Si3). Apparently a competing nucleat-ion process took place in a surface near region. As for the annealing process at 600°C the nucleation and growthkinetics depend on the deposition rate of a-Si.Figure 9: EBSD map of a 1 µm thick ESPC layer deposited at a rate of 180 nm/min and crystallized by annealing at 600°C for 12 h.Figure 10: Evolution of transmission of a 500 nm thick a-Si film on crystalline seed during annealing at 650°C. Figure 11: EBSD map of a 500 nm thick ESPC layer deposited at 47 nm/min and annealed at 650°C for 1.5 h.Figure 12: TEM cross section image of an ESPC layer on seed (Si1) annealed at 650°C for 6 h showing an epitaxially crystallized layer (Si2) and a fine grained layer (Si3).In further work we will investigate if we can deposit a-Si under conditions so that at temperatures between 600°C and 650°C perfect epitaxial growth is possible.4 SUMMARYa-Si layers deposited by electron beam evaporation on top of multicrystalline seed layers on glass were crystallized epitaxially at 600°C up to a thickness of 1.1 µm. In this way we succeeded in preparing a layer system as required for multicrystalline silicon thin film solar cells on glass with grains in the 100 µm range. The preparation process is simple and easily can be up-scaled. By optimizing the deposition and growth conditions we work on reducing the required annealing time and to increase the thickness of the epitaxial layers to well above 1 µm. First observations give hints, that doped a-Si grows faster so that thicker films can be crystallized in even shorter time. In the next steps we will prepare complete solar cells in ESPC silicon layers.5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThis paper describes work undertaken in the context of the HIGH-EF project, “Large grained, low stress multicrystalline silicon thin film solar cells on glass by a novel combined diode laser and solid phase epitaxy pro-cess”.

Ultra Thin Polymer Films for photolithography

Ultra Thin Polymer Films for photolithography

Ultra Thin Polymer Films for photolithographic ApplicationsByJuan SchneiderV-P Applications TechnologyMarch 20051.0 Introduction:The aim of this document is to give the necessary information to understand the value of Nanometrix breakthrough on ultra thin film deposition and the solutions for photoresist deposition for the semiconductor industry.Nanometrix ultra thin film deposition technology has produced in the last months layers of photoresist and dielectric polymers with unprecedented thickness control and atomic scale surface roughness bringing attraction to major players of the semiconductor and ultra thin polymer film industries.This document starts with a brief description of photolithography followed by a description of the most common way of photoresist deposition, the spin coating and its characteristics.Nanometrix technology of monolayer, polymer deposition and our resent breakthroughs on ultra thin polymer photoresist coating are explained. Data is also presented from PMMA and PVPH photoresist coatings as well as data obtained with a common dielectric polymer, PVDF. All three polymers were deposited onto silicon wafers of 6 and 8 inches as well as on different flexible substrates of 12 inches wide at a production speed of one m2 per minute. AFM, TEM and spectroscopy techniques are commonly used for analysis and characterization.Finally, a resume of main characteristics of Nanometrix ultra thin photoresist deposition, the conclusion and references end this paper.2.0 Lithography:Photolithography means light-stone-writing in Greek. Is the process by which patterns on a semiconductor material can be defined using light. It is the meansby which the features of integrated circuits are built.Lithography is the single most important driver of Moore’s law. Reducing the size of features patterned, each generation of lithography equipment has enabled faster microprocessors and smaller, less costly integrated circuits on semiconductor wafers [3]. Without the continuous improvements in lithography process and equipment technology that have occurred over the past 30 years, personal computers, cell phones, and the Internet would not be available today. Many important key elements, components and processes make photolithography possible. Wavelength, accurate lenses, photomasks, aligners,photoresist are some of the key components of a complex manufacturing process.Nanometrix technology and applications are mainly on one of these key components: polymer deposition and specifically the photoresist deposition on wafers.A resist is applied to the surface most of the time using a spin coating machine. This device holds the wafer of semiconductor, using a vacuum, and spins it at high-speed (3000-6000 rpm) for a period of 15-60 seconds. The rotation causes the resist to be spread across the surface of the wafer with excess being thrown spun off. [2]After photoresist deposition, this photo sensitive polymer layer is exposed to light. A photomask is used as patterning template leaving an image on the photoresist.The image produced in the photoresist is transferred to other layers on the wafer. These layers are then etched to form a permanent pattern in the film.Once the permanent pattern is created, the photoresist can be removed leaving the desired patterned on the surface of the wafer.3.0 Next Generation LithographyThe quality of the integrated circuit and features are intrinsically dependent on the quality of the photoresist layer.Actual processes and future ones depend on the surface roughness and the thickness consistency over the entire wafer surface. DUV technology is strongly concerned by this issue. EUV is even more concerned by surface roughness of the photoresist. [4]Next generation lithography moves quickly with different approaches. Before the end of last century, DUV was the next generation technology. At the beginning of 2001, EUV and e-beam technology started pulling the interest and major breakthroughs were accomplished, such as reflective photomasks for EUV at 13.4 nm light as well as immersion technology [7]. Most of these experimentation and steps forward have been accomplished by joining forces to tackle a specific problem by the leaders of the industry. Millions of dollars have been and are spent in the race of following Moore’s trend. The most promising next generation processes are EUV, e-beam, Scalpel, Ion-beam and x-ray lithography [6]. Other new paths are at the horizon like nano imprint, Dip-pen, AFM, carbon Nano tubes and molecular memory and semiconductor devices.4.0 PhotoresistPhotolithography light works by passing through a glass mask containing opaque chrome patterns.The patterned light then exposes photoresist, which is subsequently developed to produce small features in the resist.Photoresist is a Light Sensitive Polymer which produces patterns on the Wafer.The Steps in photoresist processing include:- Spin coating the resist on wafers- Pre-baking the resist to remove excess solvent - Exposing the wafers- Post-exposure baking to complete the chemical reactions within the resist - Developing patterns in the resistFigure 1: photoresist current processing under UV lightFabrication of state-of-the-art semiconductor chips requires 20-40 lithography pattern levels all of them etched after the photoresist have been deposited and photosensitized. To align the many layers of an integrated circuit, alignment marks are printed on the wafer.UV exposureNegative resist Positive resist5.0 Method of applying photoresistThe most common method so far for applying photoresist in the lithography industry is the spincoating.Before the photoresist is applied to the substrate, the wafer is cleaned to remove any traces of contamination from the surface of the wafer such as dust, organic, ionic and metallic compounds.Photoresist is applied to the wafer using a spincoating machine. This machine holds the wafer using a vacuum chuck, and spins it at high-speed (approx 3000 rpm) for a period of 60 seconds.A small quantity of resist is initially dispensed onto the wafer. The rotation causes the resist to spread across the surface of the wafer. Preparation of the resist is concluded by a bake step, where the wafer is a gently heated in a hotplate to evaporate the solvents and to partially solidify the resist.6.0 Spinning ArtifactsSpin coating is essentially a pulling process where the photo-resist is spread out and thin down due to the high speed rotation of the silicon wafer. Complex hydrodynamic environment, disjoining pressure, surface tension and evaporation are common physical and chemical variables playing all at the same time during spin coating. 300 mm wafers are the next trend for industrial production causing even more stresses on the film formation due to a bigger diameter of surface to be coated. Striations, edge bead, streaks, material losses and environmental impact are some of the most important problems of spin coating [2]. Here you have a brief description and characteristics of these artifacts:6.1 Striations– ~ 30 nm variations in resist thickness due to non-uniform drying ofsolvent during spin coating– ~ 80-100 mm periodicity, radially out from center of wafer6.2 Edge Bead– residual ridge in resist at edge of wafer– can be up to 20-30 times the nominal thickness of the resist– radius on wafer edge greatly reduces the edge bead height– non-circular wafers greatly increase the edge bead height– edge bead removers are solvents that are spun on after resistcoating and which partially dissolve away the edge bead6.3 Streaks– radial patterns are caused by hard particles whose diameters are greater than the resist thickness6.4 Loses and Cost– Resist cost (~$500/gallon) and most of the resist is spun off the wafer6.5 Environmental Impact– Environmental Impact–Most of the Resist is “wasted”, in the sense that it is spun off the wafer. The high “waste” is required to achieve uniformity in thickness and proper coverage.–Because of precise resist formulations, solvent evaporation during spinning and contamination concerns, it is impossible to recycle resist that is spun from the wafer.Figure 2: Common spin coating resist thickness vs. RPMUnder 100 nm, spin coating starts facing a brick-wall. Thinning down polymers to less than 100 nm in thickness demand supersonic speed at the edge of a 300 mm wafer while the center doesn’t move. Surface tension and disjoining pressure start being extremely important because at few nanometers thick, the solution surface starts seeing each other collapsing with a force that is inversely proportional to the 6th exponential.At the end, spin coating is a complex process that is facing tremendous problems of surface roughness and thickness control due to its intrinsic concept. On the opposite, Nanometrix process is gentle, works by compression and it is a bottom up process.Film Thickness vs RPM0.511.522.533.544.55100020003000400050006000Spin Speed, RPMF i l m T h i c k n e s s , u m7.0 Nanometrix Solution7.1 Nanometrix technologyNanometrix Technology was created to bring to the industry what monolayers have to offer the best: build matter at the molecular scale while driving the process at the human scale. Making monolayers is not a new story. However, making monolayers and ultra thin films in a continuous, well packed, uniform way is essentially a breakthrough.The construction of ultra thin films by the Schneider-Picard (SP) Method is performed by sliding elements on the surface of a liquid until they meet the ultra thin film formation line. In this process, the natural flatness of liquid surface is used, and the flow of it is the driving force that packs the elements one against the other in an orderly and continuous manner. At the same rate the elements are being deposited onto the interface and packed at the formation line, the monolayer is transferred from the liquid surface onto a solid substrate. The whole process works in a dynamic and continuous equilibrium.A monolayer generator was created for this purpose and works in automatic mode. The rate of production exceeds one square meter per minute, which means typically, for a molecular scale element, one billion elements per second that are integrated in the monolayer matrix.So far, monolayers of many kinds and types of elements have been produced and displayed and ultra-thinpolymer films are made at thesame production rate.In this case, the polymer filmthickness can be tailored tohave different values starting at1 nm thick with a meanroughness at the atomic scale(0.1nm), see figures 3, 4 and 5.Thicker polymer films can beengineered with typically asurface roughness under 1 nm,see figures 4 and 5.Figure 3: an AFM image of PMMA ultra-thin film. Theappearance is featureless, except a small dust. Thethickness is 1.2 nm, which fits perfectly the calculated value.The roughness is 0.1 nm.7.2 Diagram of Nanometrix polymer depositionDuring the SP method of ultra thin film deposition, polymer solution is applied at the gas-liquid interface. The receiving phase or the sub-phase is a moving, flat liquid. After injection, the polymer solution thins down in different ways depending on the physico-chemical characteristics of the solvents and liquids. Evaporation and immersion are the main ways in which the solvent concentration, after spreading the polymer, fades down from the gas-liquid inter-phase. This dynamic continuous process transforms the polymer solution from liquid to solid. The solution starts in the liquid phase, moves toward a gel phase and ends at the formation line in the solid phase being deposited simultaneously to the wafer.Evaporationflowing sub-phase Solid plateFigure 4: an AFM image of PMMA ultra-thin film. An area wasanalyzed. The thickness is 1.2 nm, which fits perfectly the calculatedvalue. The roughness is 0.1 nm.Figure 5: A trench was dug in the monolayer. This proved difficult due to the thinness of the layer.The thickness is 1.2 nm.7.3 The substrateSubstrates onto which is deposited the monolayer or the ultra-thin film can be of different nature. Theoretically there are no limitations. Practically, we have deposited the ultra thin films on metal foil, plastic rolls or rigid material like glass slides and silicon wafers.Specifically, for the semi-conductor industry, our process did coat wafers and substrates of different nature and sizes. For the 300 mm generation, the Schneider-Picard (SP) method shows a perfect match.Therefore, this is a continuous process that can be integrated in the present standard line production equipment to create ultra high quality and ultra thin polymer surfaces of dielectrics, barriers and photoresist.Figure 6:an AFM picture of Nanometrix polymer (PVDF) ultra-thin film deposition. The film is 25 nm thick. The average roughness is one nanometer only. The vertical scale has been magnified to see better the monomer vertical orientation.Figure 7: two grooves were dig with the AFM tip into the Nanometrix ultra-thin film matrix. The width of the largest groove (seen in the box) is about 400 nm. A narrower groove was also carved into and parallel to this one. The groove is 50 nm wide only. In both cases, the groove edges are straight and square. The trenches were easily made at the first attempt with in AFM standard operating conditions.7.4 Main characteristics of Nanometrix SP Method for Ultra Thin Polymers Wafer size: Independent on the size of the surface, namely all wafer size currently used by the semiconductor industry.Compression instead of Tension: The polymer is assembled in a compression mode, up to 300 Atm for a film with few nanometers thick. No stress and forces pulling apart the polymer are implicated in the process.Surface roughness: Surface roughness of the polymer, down to the order of an Angstrom.Polymer thickness: It can be tailored with ease to have different values starting at 1 nm thick.Industrial production: Production rate is in the order of m2 per minute.Materials and process:Continuous and gentle.So far, no limits on material handling have been found with the SP method.Loses: Almost 100 % of the polymer solution is used avoiding important loses.8 ConclusionMoore’s Law predicts further development on miniaturisation and major players search continuously for better, faster and less expensive. Nanometrix’ breakthrough SP Method of Ultra Thin Film deposition is the ability to bring a continuous and scalable process for the industry at the molecular scale and up with unprecedented thinness and surface roughness, key factors for the development of DUV and EUV lithography and beyond. Nanometrix is in good position to satisfy actual needs and future ones with barriers, dielectrics and photoresist coatings for present and next generation nanoscale lithography.9 References[1] Manufacturing with DUV lithographyBy S.

大学物理实验报告Ferroelectric Control of Spin PolarizationABS TR AC TA current drawback of spintronics is the large power that is usually required for magnetic writing, in contrast with nanoelectronics, which relies on “zero-current,” gate-controlled operations. Efforts have been made to control the spin-relaxation rate, the Curie temperature, or the magnetic anisotropy with a gate voltage, but these effects are usually small and volatile. We used ferroelectric tunnel junctions with ferromagnetic electrodes to demonstrate local, large, and nonvolatile control of carrier spin polarization by electrically switching ferroelectric polarization. Our results represent a giant type of interfacial magnetoelectric coupling and suggest a low-power approach for spin-based information control.Controlling the spin degree of freedom by purely electrical means is currently an important challenge in spintronics (1, 2). Approaches based on spin-transfer torque (3) have proven very successful in controlling the direction of magnetization in a ferromagnetic layer, but they require the injection of high current densities. An ideal solution would rely on the application of an electric field across an insulator, as in existing nanoelectronics. Early experiments have demonstrated the volatile modulation of spin-based properties with a gate voltage applied through a dielectric. Notable examples include the gate control of the spin-orbit interaction in III-V quantum wells (4), the Curie temperature T C (5), or the magnetic anisotropy (6) in magnetic semiconductors with carrier-mediated exchange interactions; for example, (Ga,Mn)As or (In,Mn)As. Electric field–induced modifications of magnetic anisotropy at room temperature have also been reported recently in ultrathin Fe-based layers (7, 8).A nonvolatile extension of this approach involves replacing the gate dielectric by a ferroelectric and taking advantage of the hysteretic response of its order parameter (polarization) with an electric field. When combined with (Ga,Mn)As channels, for instance, a remanent control of T C over a few kelvin was achieved through polarization-driven charge depletion/accumulation (9, 10), and the magnetic anisotropy was modified by the coupling of piezoelectricity and magnetostriction (11, 12). Indications of an electrical control of magnetization have also been provided in magnetoelectric heterostructures at room temperature (13–17).Recently, several theoretical studies have predicted that large variations of magnetic properties may occur at interfaces between ferroelectrics and high-T C ferromagnets such as Fe (18–20), Co2MnSi (21), or Fe3O4 (22). Changing the direction of the ferroelectric polarization has been predicted to influence not only the interfacial anisotropy and magnetization, but also the spin polarization. Spin polarization [i.e., the normalized difference in the density of states (DOS) of majority and minority spin carriers at the Fermi level (E F)] is typically the key parameter controlling the response of spintronics systems, epitomized by magnetic tunnel junctions in which the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) is related to the electrode spin polarization by the Jullière formula (23). These predictions suggest that the nonvolatile character of ferroelectrics at the heart of ferroelectric random access memory technology (24) may be exploited in spintronics devices such as magnetic random access memories or spin field-effect transistors (2). However, the nonvolatile electrical control of spin polarization has not yet been demonstrated.We address thi s issue experimentally by probing the spin polarization of electrons tunneling from an Fe electrode through ultrathin ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BTO) tunnel barriers (Fig. 1A). The BTO polarizationcan be electrically switched to point toward or away from the Fe electrode. We used a half-metallicLa0.67Sr0.33MnO3(LSMO) (25) bottom electrode as a spin detector in these artificial multiferroic tunnel junctions (26, 27). Magnetotransport experiments provide evidence for a large and reversible dependence of the TMR on ferroelectric polarization direction.Fig. 1(A) Sketch of the nanojunction defined by electrically controlled nanoindentation. A thin resist isspin-coated on the BTO(1 nm)/LSMO(30 nm) bilayer. The nanoindentation is performed with a conductive-tip atomic force microscope, and the resulting nano-hole is filled by sputter-depositingAu/CoO/Co/Fe.

(C) X-ray absorption spectra collected at room temperature close to the Fe L3,2 (top), Ba M5,4 (middle), and TiL3,2 (bottom) edges on an AlO x(1.5 nm)/Al(1.5 nm)/Fe(2 nm)/BTO(1 nm)/LSMO(30 nm)//NGO(001) heterostructure. (D) HRTEM and (E) HAADF images of the Fe/BTO interface in a Ta(5 nm)/Fe(18 nm)/BTO(50 nm)/LSMO(30 nm)//NGO(001) heterostructure. The white arrowheads in (D) indicate the lattice fringes of {011} planes in the iron layer. [110] and [001] indicate pseudotetragonal crystallographic axes of the BTO perovskite.The tunnel junctions that we used in this study are based on BTO(1 nm)/LSMO(30 nm) bilayers grown epitaxially onto (001)-oriented NdGaO3 (NGO) single-crystal substrates (28). The large (~180°) and stable piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) phase contrast (28) between negatively and positively poled areas (Fig. 1B, top) indicates that the ultrathin BTO films are ferroelectric at room temperature (29). The persistence of ferroelectricity for such ultrathin films of BTO arises from the large latticemis match with the NGO substrate (–3.2%), which is expected to dramatically enhance ferroelectric properties in this highly strained BTO (30). The local topographical and transport properties of the BTO(1 nm)/LSMO(30 nm) bilayers were characterized by conductive-tip atomic force microscopy (CTA FM) (28). The surface is very smooth with terraces separated by one-unit-cell–high steps, visible in both the topography (29) and resistance mappings (Fig. 1B, bottom). No anomalies in the CTAFM data were observed over lateral distances on the micrometer scale.We defined tunnel junctions from these bilayers by a lithographic technique based on CTAFM (28, 31). Top electrical contacts of diameter ~10 to 30 nm can be patterned by this nanofabrication process. The subsequent sputter deposition of a 5-nm-thick Fe layer, capped by a Au(100 nm)/CoO(3.5 nm)/Co(11.5 nm) stack to increase coercivity, defined a set of nanojunctions (Fig. 1A). The same Au/CoO/Co/Fe stack was deposited on another BTO(1 nm)/LSMO(30 nm) sample for magnetic measurements. Additionally, a Ta(5 nm)/Fe(18 nm)/BTO(50 nm)/LSMO(30 nm) sample and a AlO x(1.5 nm)/Al(1.5 nm)/Fe(2 nm)/BTO(1 nm)/LSMO(30 nm) sample were realized for structural and spectroscopic characterizations.We used both a conventional high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and the NION UltraSTEM 100 scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to investigate the Fe/BTO interface properties of the Ta/Fe/BTO/LSMO sample. The epitaxial growth of the BTO/LSMO bilayer on the NGO substrate was confirmed by HRTEM and high-resolution STEM images. Thelow-resolution, high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) image of the entire heterostructure shows the sharpness of the LSMO/BTO interface over the studied area (Fig. 1E, top). Figure 1D reveals a smooth interface between the BTO and the Fe layers. Whereas the BTO film is epitaxially grown on top of LSMO, the Fe layer consists of textured nanocrystallites. From the in-plane (a) and out-of-plane (c) lattice parameters in the tetragonal BTO layer, we infer that c/a = 1.016 ± 0.008, in good agreement with the value of 1.013 found with the use of x-ray diffraction (29). The interplanar distances for selected crystallites in the Fe layer [i.e., ~2.03 Å (Fig. 1D, white arrowheads)] are consistent with the {011} planes of body-centered cubic (bcc) Fe.We investigated the BTO/Fe interface region more closely in the HAADF mode of the STEM (Fig. 1E, bottom). On the BTO side, the atomically resolved HAADF image allows the distinction of atomic columns where the perovskite A-site atoms (Ba) appear as brighter spots. Lattice fringes with the characteristic {100} interplanar distances of bcc Fe (~2.86 Å) can be distinguished on the opposite side. Subtle structural, chemical, and/or electronic modifications may be expected to occur at the interfacial boundary between the BTO perovskite-type structure and the Fe layer. These effects may lead to interdiffusion of Fe, Ba, and O atoms over less than 1 nm, or the local modification of the Fe DOS close to E F, consistent with ab initio calculations of the BTO/Fe interface (18–20).To characterize the oxidation state of Fe, we performed x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements on a AlO x(1.5 nm)/Al(1.5 nm)/Fe(2 nm)/BTO(1 nm)/LSMO(30 nm) sample (28). The probe depth was at least 7 nm, as indicated by the finite XAS intensity at the La M4,5 edge (28), so that the entire Fe thickness contributed substantially to the signal. As shown in Fig. 1C (top), the spectrum at the Fe L2,3 edge corresponds to that of metallic Fe (32). The XAS spectrum obtained at the BaM4,5 edge (Fig. 1C, middle) is similar to that reported for Ba2+ in (33). Despite the poor signal-to-noise ratio, the Ti L2,3 edge spectrum (Fig. C, bottom) shows the typical signature expected for a valence close to 4+ (34). From the XAS, HRTEM, and STEM analyses, we conclude that the Fe/BTO interface is smooth with no detectable oxidation of the Fe layer within a limit of less than 1 nm.After cooling in a magnetic field of 5 kOe aligned along the [110] easy axis of pseudocubic LSMO (which is parallel to the orthorhombic [100] axis of NGO), we characterized the transport properties of the junctions at low temperature (4.2 K). Figure 2A (middle) shows a typicalresistance–versus–magnetic field R(H) cycle recorded at a bias voltage of –2 mV (positive bias corresponds to electrons tunneling from Fe to LSMO). The bottom panel of Fig. 2A shows the magnetic hysteresis loop m(H) of a similar unpatterned sample measured with superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry. When we decreased the magnetic field from a large positive value, the resistance dropped in the –50 to –250 Oe range and then followed a plateau down to –800 Oe, after which it sharply returned to the high-resistance state. We observed a similar response when cycling the field back to large positive values. A comparison with the m(H) loop indicates that the switching fields in R(H) correspond to changes in the relative magnetic configuration of the LSMO and Fe electrodes from parallel (at high field) to antiparallel (at low field). The magnetically softer LSMO layer switched at lower fields (50 to 250 Oe) compared with the Fe layer,for which coupling to the exchange-biased Co/CoO induces larger and asymmetric coercive fields(–800 Oe, 300 Oe). The observed R(H) corresponds to a negative TMR = (R ap–R p)/R ap of –17%[R p and R ap are the resistance in the parallel (p) and antiparallel (ap) magnetic configurations, respectively; see the sketches in Fig. 2A]. W ithin the simple Jullière model of TMR (23) and considering the large positive spin polarization of half-metallic LSMO (25), thisnegative TMR corresponds to a negative spin polarization for bcc Fe at the interface with BTO, in agreement with ab initio calculations (18–20).Fig. 2(A) (Top) Device schematic with black arrows to indicate magnetizations. p, parallel; ap, antiparallel. (Middle) R(H) recorded at –2 mV and 4.2 K showing negative TMR. (Bottom) m(H) recorded at 30 K with a SQUID magnetometer. emu, electromagnetic units. (B) (Top) Device schematic with arrows to indicate ferroelectric polarization. (Bottom) I(V DC) curves recorded at 4.2 K after poling the ferroelectric down (orange curve) or up (brown curve). The bias dependence of the TER is shown in the inset.As predicted (35–38) and demonstrated (29) previously, the tunnel current across a ferroelectric barrier depends on the direction of the ferroelectric polarization. We also observed thi s effect in ourFe/BTO/LSMO junctions. As can be seen in Fig. 2B, after poling the BTO at 4.2 K to orient its polarization toward LSMO or Fe (with a poling voltage of VP–≈ –1 V or VP+≈ 1 V, respectively; see Fig. 2B sketches), current-versus-voltage I(V DC) curves collected at low bias voltages showed a finite difference corresponding to a tunnel electroresistance as large as TER = (I VP+–I VP–)/I VP–≈ 37% (Fig. 2B, inset). This TER can be interpreted within an electrostatic model (36–39), taking into account the asymmetric deformation of the barrier potential profile that is created by the incomplete screening of polarization charges by different Thomas-Fermi screening lengths at Fe/BTO and LSMO/BTO interfaces. Piezoelectric-related TER effects (35, 38) can be neglected as the piezoelectric coefficient estimated from PFM experiments is too small in our clamped films (29). TER measurements performed on a BTO(1 nm)/LSMO(30 nm) bilayer with the use of a CTAFM boron-doped diamond tip as the top electrode showed values of ~200% (29). Given the strong sensitivity of the TER on barrier parameters and barrier-electrode interfaces, these two values are not expected to match precisely. We anticipate that the TER variation between Fe/BTO/LSMO junctions and CTAFM-based measurements is primarily the result of different electrostatic boundary conditions.Switching the ferroelectric polarization of a tunnel barrier with voltage pulses is also expected to affect the spin-dependent DOS of electrodes at a ferromagnet/ferroelectric interface. Interfacial modifications of the spin-dependent DOS of the half-metallic LSMO by the ferroelectric BTO are not likely, as no states are present for the minority spins up to ~350 meV above E F (40, 41). For 3d ferromagnets such as Fe, large modifications of the spin-dependent DOS are expected, as charge transfer betweenspin-polarized empty and filled states is possible. For the Fe/BTO interface, large changes have beenpredicted through ab initio calculations of 3d electronic states of bcc Fe at the interface with BTO by several groups (18–20).To experimentally probe possible changes in the spin polarization of the Fe/BTO interface, we measured R(H) at a fixed bias voltage of –50 mV after aligning the ferroelectric polarization of BTO toward Fe or LSMO. R(H) cycles were collected for each direction of the ferroelectric polarization for two typical tunnel junctions of the same sample (Fig. 3, B and C, for junction #1; Fig. 3, D and E, for junction #2). In both junctions at the saturating magnetic field, high- and low-resistance states are observed when the ferroelectric polarization points toward LSMO or Fe, respectively, with a variation of ~ 25%. This result confirms the TER observations in Fig. 2B.Fig. 3(A) Sketch of the electrical control of spin polarization at the Fe/BTO interface. (B and C) R(H) curves for junction #1 (V DC = –50 mV, T = 4.2 K) after poling the ferroelectric barrier down or up, respectively.(D and E) R(H) curves for junction #2 (V DC = –50 mV, T= 4.2 K) after poling the ferroelectric barrier down or up, respectively.More interestingly, here, the TMR is dramatically modified by the reversal of BTO polarization. For junction #1, the TMR amplitude changes from –17 to –3% when the ferroelectric polarization is aligned toward Fe or LSMO, respectively (Fig. 3, B and C). Similarly for junction #2, the TMR changes from –45 to –19%. Similar results were obtained on Fe/BTO (1.2 nm)/LSMO junctions (28). Within theJullière model (23), these changes in TMR correspond to a large (or s mall) spin polarization at theFe/BTO interface when the ferroelectric polarization of BTO points toward (or away from) the Fe electrode. These experimental data support our interpretation regarding the electrical manipulation of the spin polarization of the Fe/BTO interface by switching the ferroelectric polarization of the tunnel barrier.To quantify the sensitivity of the TMR with the ferroelectric polarization, we define a term, the tunnel electromagnetoresistance, as TEMR = (TMR VP+–TMR VP–)/TMR VP–. Large values for the TEMR are found for junctions #1 (450%) and #2 (140%), respectively. This electrical control of the TMR with the ferroelectric polarization is repeatable, as shown in Fig. 4 for junction #1 where TMR curves are recorded after poling the ferroelectric up, down, up, and down, sequentially (28).Fig. 4TMR(H) curves recorded for junction #1 (V DC = –50 mV, T = 4.2 K) after poling the ferroelectric up (VP+), down (VP–), up (VP+), and down (VP–).For tunnel junctions with a ferroelectric barrier and dissimilar ferromagnetic electrodes, we havereported the influence of the electrically controlled ferroelectric barrier polarization on thetunnel-current spin polarization. This electrical influence over magnetic degrees of freedom representsa new and interfacial magnetoelectric effect that is large because spin-dependent tunneling is verysensitive to interfacial details. Ferroelectrics can provide a local, reversible, nonvolatile, and potentially low-power means of electrically addressing spintronics devices.Supporting Online Material/cgi/content/full/science.1184028/DC1Materials and MethodsFigs.

表柔比星超顺磁性氧化铁纳米粒(EPI-SPION)经皮递药抗肿瘤作用研究

表柔比星超顺磁性氧化铁纳米粒(EPI-SPION)经皮递药抗肿瘤作用研究

表柔比星超顺磁性氧化铁纳米粒(EPI-SPION)经皮递药抗肿瘤作用研究皮肤癌是人类最常见的恶性肿瘤,每年的新患人数超过100万,尤其在浅色人种中,皮肤癌的发病率日趋增高。

传统的肿瘤化疗及放疗普遍存在靶部位药物浓度低、药物毒副作用大等缺陷,治疗的效果不理想。

目前对类似恶性黑色素瘤这一类浅表性皮肤癌仍欠缺有效的药物治疗手段。

在纳米药物抗肿瘤研究中,磁性靶向递药系统的给药方式一般采用静脉注射,要求药物粒子能自由通过最小的毛细血管,粒子易被肾脏排泄或聚积到骨髓中,导致抗肿瘤药物的毒性加大。

另一方面磁性药物靶向治疗的磁场装置设计和实施也是一个限制磁性靶向递药系统发展和应用的关键问题。

本研究尝试采用经皮递药系统克服上述不利限制,探索皮肤肿瘤治疗的新途径。

超顺磁氧化铁纳米粒(SPION)的研究从最初侧重于MRI造影发展到目前的靶向给药、治疗和造影等。

具有肿瘤靶向SPION由于其在MRI诊断、热疗及靶向给药中潜能,是目前靶向药物研究中很热门的课题。

本研究以表面具有功能基团的γ-Fe2O3纳米粒为内核,将具有伯氨基的肿瘤化疗药物表柔比星(EPI)嫁接于γ-Fe2O3纳米粒,得到直径十几个纳米、具有超顺磁性的表柔比星超顺磁性纳米粒(EPI-SPION),以磁导向经皮靶向递药技术和色素瘤细胞模型为主要研究对象,阐述在外加磁场作用下,EPI-SPION经皮给药穿透皮肤角质层及靶向皮肤肿瘤细胞的能力和作用机制。

结合肿瘤药物治疗学、分子生物药剂学和材料化学的思路和技术方法,从组织及细胞水平探讨超顺磁性纳米粒经皮吸收靶向肿瘤细胞的转运机制和动力学行为。

首先通过共沉淀-交联耦合法制备功能化γ-Fe2O3纳米粒,经仿生化表面修饰后将药物嫁接至纳米粒表面,得到性质稳定的EPI-SPION递药系统,并试图通过调控外磁场作用方式和强度,高效递送抗肿瘤药物至肿瘤局灶区。

我们前期得到的载药SPION水合粒径大小为16±2nm,主要理化性质研究表明,该纳米粒具有类球形单畴晶格形貌,保持良好磁性效能,饱和磁化强度大于70 emu/g,矫顽力几乎为零,具有良好的超顺磁性能。

Epitaxial Growth of Thin Films in Solid-Solid Inte

Epitaxial Growth of Thin Films in Solid-Solid Inte
One distinguishes homo- and heteroexpitaxy, where the former refers to the growth on one element on a crystal surface of its own and the latter refers to the more general case, where film and substrate materials are different. Note that the first distinguishes itself from crystal growth, as we will see in more detail later.

20 Epitaxial Growth of Thin Films
Harald Brune
This chapter gives an introduction to the epitaxial growth of thin films on solid substrates. The term epitaxy refers to the growth of a crystalline layer on (epi) the surface of a crystalline substrate, where the crystallographic orientation of the substrate surface imposes a crystalline order (taxis) onto the thin film. This implies that film elements can be grown, up to a certain thickness, in crystal structures differing from their bulk. If film and substrate have the same crystal lattices, but different lattice constants, the film will be under strain, that is, it will have a slightly different lattice constant than in its own bulk. Both effects, together with the electronic hybridization at the interface, lead to novel properties.

主要研究了 A u/S n薄膜微观形貌和合金 化工艺控制。

结果表明,当固定薄膜总厚度为2 p m时,320 °C下退火10 m in后,膜层表面粗糙 度与薄膜层数呈反比。

薄膜层数较少(n二3)、调制周期厚度较大时,由于A u与S n间扩散不完 全,合金化不充分,造成薄膜表面起伏较大,其均值粗糙度最高达到188.5 nm。

随着薄膜层数 不断增加,调制周期厚度减小到纳米级,薄膜也更加致密、平整,n =21时,320 °C下退火10 m in后均值粗糙度仅为29.7 nm。

优化合金化工艺过程中,采用了不同的优化方法,包括增加退火温度、延长保温时间、降低薄膜总厚度和调制周期,最终在膜层厚度为700 nm、退火温 度为320 °C、退火时间为10 m in的工艺条件下,获得了表面致密平整、合金化充分及金锡质量 比约为8() : 20的合金薄膜,均值粗糙度仅为23. 5 nm。
