Electron Beam Effects In The Analysis Of Compound Semiconductors And Devices, Nancy Burnham, Ll Kazmerski, Ab Swartzlander, Aj Nelson, Se Asher Aug 1987

Electron Beam Effects In The Analysis Of Compound Semiconductors And Devices, Nancy Burnham, Ll Kazmerski, Ab Swartzlander, Aj Nelson, Se Asher

Nancy A. Burnham

The effects of electron beams on the analysis of CuInSe2surfaces are examined in this paper. Potential changes in the surface chemistry—including oxidation and desorption—under a range of incident probe conditions, are investigated for possible artifactual information generation. Emphasis is placed on the relationships between beam conditions and oxygen chemisorption and physisorption, since oxygen treatments of devices utilizing this semiconductor are critical to performance. Single crystals and polycrystalline thin films are analyzed and compared to establish the beam‐induced phenomena.


Auger Analysis Of Si–H Bonding And Hydrogen Concentration In Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon, Nancy Burnham, Aj Nelson, Ab Schwartzlander, Se Asher, Ll Kazmerski Apr 1986

Auger Analysis Of Si–H Bonding And Hydrogen Concentration In Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon, Nancy Burnham, Aj Nelson, Ab Schwartzlander, Se Asher, Ll Kazmerski

Nancy A. Burnham

Auger electron spectroscopy line‐shape analysis of the Si‐L 2 3 V V peak has been performed on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a‐Si:H). Both a‐Si:H produced by hydrogen implantation of siliconsingle crystals (for analytical standards) and thin films (fabricated for solar cell applications) were examined in these studies. Hydrogen concentrations were confirmed by secondary ion mass spectrometry, and samples having hydrogen content over the range 101 6–102 2 cm− 3 were evaluated. Correlations between the area under the deconvoluted L 2 3 V V transition peak and the known hydrogen content have resulted in a semiquantitative method of determining hydrogen concentration using …

Scanning Auger Microprobe Studies Of Ball Cratered Cds/Cuinse2 Solar Cells, Nancy Burnham, Ll Levenson, Rj Matson, R Noufi, Ll Kazmerski

Nancy A. Burnham

CdS/CuInSe2solar cell films are typically several micrometers thick. Composition profiles of these films are usually carried out on fracture cross sections by scanning Auger microscopy or by recording Auger spectra during ion milling. For fracture cross sections, the depth resolution depends on the electron beam diameter and the roughness of the fracture surface. Ion milling is time consuming, and artifacts are caused by ion beam faceting. Ball cratering requires only a fraction of an hour and provides significant magnification of the film cross section. There is sufficient contrast, both in optical and electron microscopy, to distinguish between CdS and CuInSe2 …


Spectral Properties Of Percolating Central Force Elastic Networks, Anthony Day, R. Tremblay, A.-M. Tremblay Sep 1985

Spectral Properties Of Percolating Central Force Elastic Networks, Anthony Day, R. Tremblay, A.-M. Tremblay

Anthony Roy Day

The exponent describing the low frequency spectrum of vibrations for the central force universality class is computed with both the Coherent Potential Approximation and numerical simulations. The results of both calculations agree surprisingly well.
