Controllable growth of aluminum nanorods using physical vapor deposition
This letter proposes and experimentally demonstrates that oxygen, through action as a surfactant, enables the growth of aluminum nanorods using physical vapor deposition. Based on the mechanism through which oxygen acts, the authors show that the diameter of aluminum nanorods can be controlled from 50 to 500 nm by varying the amount of oxygen present, through modulating the vacuum level, and by...
متن کاملGrowth of Y-shaped nanorods through physical vapor deposition.
This work presents a proposed mechanism for fabricating Y-shaped nanorods, demonstrates the feasibility of the proposal through classical molecular dynamics simulations, and validates the simulations through magnetron sputter deposition experiments. The proposed mechanism relies primarily on the formation of stacking faults during deposition and to a lesser degree on diffusion kinetics and geom...
متن کاملSpatially controllable chemical vapor deposition
Most conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems do not have the spatial actuation and sensing capabilities necessary to control deposition uniformity, or to intentionally induce nonuniform deposition patterns for single-wafer combinatorial CVD experiments. In an effort to address this limitation, a novel CVD reactor system has been developed that can explicitly control the spatial pro...
متن کاملTemperature-induced chaos during nanorod growth by physical vapor deposition
Atomic shadowing during kinetically limited physical vapor deposition causes a chaotic instability in the layer morphology that leads to nanorod growth. Glancing angle deposition GLAD experiments indicate that the rod morphology, in turn, exhibits a chaotic instability with increasing surface diffusion. The measured rod width versus growth temperature converges onto a single curve for all metal...
متن کاملEnhancement of aluminum oxide physical vapor deposition with a secondary plasma
Reactive sputtering of aluminum oxide in a planar magnetron system is conducted with a mixture of O and Ar reacting with 2 and bombarding an aluminum target. The aluminum target is powered by a pulsed directed current (DC) bias which functions to discharge the accumulated ions on the insulating AlO film surface during the positive duty cycle and suppresses arc formation. x A seven-turn helical ...
