چکیده
Different sizes of Ge nanocrystals embedded in a SiO2 matrix were formed by PECVD, and analyzed by TEM. Size effect of Ge nanocystals was demonstrated by Raman spectroscopy after excluding the thermal effect. OCIS codes: (160.4236) nanomaterial; (160.6000) semiconductor material;

Colloidal synthesis of germanium nanocrystals
In this study, colloidal germanium nanocrystals were synthesized by a simple and novel method, and their optical properties were also studied. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a surface modifier was used to control the optical properties of colloidal Ge nanocrystals. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed to identify the various functional groups present in the sample. ...

Amorphous GeOx/SiO2 multilayers (1<x<2) were prepared by successive evaporation of GeO2 and SiO2 powders onto the Si substrates maintained at 100°C. Structural study by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared-absorption (FTIR) spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was carried out. These techniques allowed us to follow the structural evolution, and...

A method of synthesizing and controlling the size of germanium nanocrystals is developed. A tri-layer metalinsulator-semiconductor (MIS) memory device structure comprising of a thin (~5nm) silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer grown using rapid thermal oxidation (RTO), followed by a layer of Ge+SiO2 of varying thickness (3 6 nm) deposited using a radio frequency (rf) co-sputtering technique, and a cappi...
متن کاملSynthesis of Germanium Nanocrystals and Its Possible Application in Memory Devices
A novel method of synthesizing and controlling the size of germanium nanocrystals was developed. A tri-layer structure comprising of a thin (~5nm) SiO2 layer grown using rapid thermal oxidation (RTO), followed by a layer of Ge+SiO2 of varying thickness (6 20 nm) deposited using the radio frequency (r.f.) co-sputtering technique and a SiO2 cap layer (50nm) deposited using r.f. sputtering, was in...
متن کاملStudy of Stress Evolution of Germanium Nanocrystals embedded in Silicon Oxide Matrix
Germanium (Ge) nanocrystals had been synthesized by annealing co-sputtered SiO2-Ge in N2 and/or forming gas (90% N2 + 10% H2) at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000°C from 15 to 60 min. It was concluded that the annealing ambient, temperature and time have a significant influence on the formation and evolution of the nanocrystals. We also showed that a careful selective etching of the anneale...
