Oblique Angle Deposition of Germanium Film on Silicon Substrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of flux angle, substrate temperature and deposition rate on obliquely deposited germanium (Ge) films has been investigated. By carrying out deposition with the vapor flux inclined at 87 to the substrate normal at substrate temperatures of 250C or 300C, it may be possible to obtain isolated Ge nanowires. The Ge nanowires are crystalline as shown by Raman Spectroscopy.

Gold catalytic Growth of Germanium Nanowires by chemical vapour deposition method
Germanium nanowires (GeNWs) were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) based on vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism with Au nanoparticles as catalyst and germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) as a precursor of germanium. Au catalysts were deposited on silicon wafer as a thin film, firstly by sputtering technique and secondly by submerging the silicon substrates in Au colloidal s...

Physical vapor deposition under conditions of an obliquely incident flux results in a film formation with an inclined columnar structure. These columns will be oriented toward the vapor source because of the self-shadowing effect, and they are homogenously distributed on the substrate surface because of the limited surface diffusion ability of ad-atoms when there is no additional substrate heat...

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are grown via chemical vapour deposition method directly on a stainless steel substrate. Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy are the techniques chosen to characterize the structure of the synthesized carbon nanotubes: few structural defects are detected. After their removal from the stainless steel substrate, the as-grown MWCNTs are then a...

متن کاملControlled morphology of aluminum alloy nanopillar films: from nanohorns to nanoplates Short title: Aluminum alloy nanopillar films
Nanopillar films of Al-Nb alloys have been fabricated on substrates with a regular concave cell structure by oblique angle physical vapor deposition. The concave cell structure of substrate increases the shadow region for the flux of depositing atoms, assisting the formation of an isolated nanopillar on each cell. Depending upon the alloy composition and deposition angle, the pillar shape chang...
