Mots-clé PVD-CVD, Sol-gel processing, Monte Carlo simulation, thin film islanding. PACS 04A25 The synthesis of self-organized quantum dots (QD’s) can be achieved through bottom up layer by layer deposition processes as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD). However, QD’s may also be synthesized via sol-gel route, which involves a spontaneous evolution from thin films to discrete QD’s without further deposition. The aim of the paper is to discuss and compare the physical phenomena involved in QD’s formation which initiate from thin film surface roughening between PVD-CVD and sol-gel synthesis approaches. We propose two simple physical models which are relevant to explain the fundamental differences between those methods.

Room-temperature electrically pumped near-infrared random lasing from high-quality m-plane ZnO-based metal-insulator-semiconductor devices
Epitaxial m-plane ZnO thin films have been deposited on m-plane sapphire substrates at a low temperature of 200°C by atomic layer deposition. A 90° in-plane rotation is observed between the m-plane ZnO thin films and the sapphire substrates. Moreover, the residual strain along the ZnO [-12-10] direction is released. To fabricate metal-insulator-semiconductor devices, a 50-nm Al2O3 thin film is ...
متن کاملDetermination of correlation length for thickness fluctuations in thin oxide and fluoride films
A novel technique for experimental estimation of the correlation length of insulator thickness fluctuations is proposed which is based on the statistical treatment of the results of current measurements for a random set of thin metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) capacitors. For testing purposes, the usual Al/SiO2/Si tunnel diodes with excessive thickness dispersion, as well as the less popular...
