High throughput characterization of the optical properties of compositionally graded combinatorial films
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compositionally graded combinatorial films have been characterized by a high throughput automated spectroscopic reflectometer. The data from this instrument were used to map the thickness and index of refraction of the compositionally varying films. Combinatorial films produced by dual-beam, dual-target pulsed laser deposition and characterized with the reflectometer include the BaTiO3–SrTiO3 system on silicon (dielectric and ferroelectric films). In addition, combinatorial Au/Ni electrical contacts on n-GaN/sapphire produced by electron-beam (e-beam) vaporization have been characterized with the spectroscopic reflectometer. The Au/Ni/n-GaN/sapphire structures were characterized both as-deposited and after annealing at 400 8C for 60 s in flowing argon. # 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V. PACS: 78.40; 07.60.H; 78.66

Design and fabrication of compositionally graded inorganic oxide thin films: Mechanical, optical and permeation characteristics
Different types of inorganic oxide films composed of a chemical composition gradient single layer were designed, fabricated and characterized. Compositionally graded thin films were created by power-controlled co-sputtering of alumina (Al2O3) and silica (SiO2) at room temperature, allowing the structural design of the film to be tailored at the nanometer scale. Two distinct graded thin films we...
