Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism in Co-Doped In2O3 Nanocrystals

Co-doped In2O3 nanocrystals showing room-temperature ferromagnetism have been successfully prepared by a simple sol-gel synthesis route. The sample displays it clear ferromagnetism behavior above 300 K. Phase and structure analyses reveal that the nanocrystals are crystallized with Co ions substituted for In ions in the In2O3 matrix, and no trace of secondary phases or clusters is detected. The experimental results are explained theoretically by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, which indicate that the native ferromagnetic behavior of Co-doped In2O3 could be mainly ascribed to the strong d-d coupling of the magnetic ions.

INTERFACIAL REACTIONS IN THE CO/SI/GAAS AND SI/CO/GAAS SYSTEMS

The interfacial reactions between thin films of cobalt and silicon and (100)-oriented GaAs substrates in two configurations, Co/Si/GaAs and Si/Co/GaAs, were studied using a variety of techniques including Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The annealing conditions were 200, 300, 400, 600-degrees-C for 30 min, and rapid thermal annealing for 15 s. It was found that Si layer in the Co/Si/GaAs system acts as a barrier at the interface between Co and GaAs when annealed up to 600-degrees-C. The interfacial reaction between Co and Si is faster than that between Co and GaAs in the system of Si/Co/GaAs. The sequence of compound formation for the two metallizations studied (Co/Si/GaAs and Si/Co/GaAs) depends strongly on the sample configuration as well as the layer thickness of Si and Co (Co/Si atomic ratio). From our results, it is promising to utilize Co/Si/GaAs multilayer film structure to make a CoSi2/GaAs contact, and this CoSi2 may offer an alternative to the commonly used W silicides as improved gate metallurgies in self-aligned metal-semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) technologies.

INTERACTION OF CO WITH SI AND SIO2 DURING RAPID THERMAL ANNEALING

The interaction of Co with Si and SiO2 during rapid thermal annealing has been investigated. Phase sequence, layer morphology, and reaction kinetics were studied by sheet resistance, x-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. With increasing annealing temperature, Co film on Si(100) is transformed sequentially into Co2Si, CoSi, and finally CoSi2 which corresponds to the minimum of sheet resistance. No evidence of silicide formation was observed for Co/SiO2 annealed even at the high temperature of 1050-degrees-C.

图形衬底上硅区双离子束选择淀积Co研究

报道了利用质量分离低能双离子束淀积法在硅-氧化硅图形衬底上采用不同的工艺条件淀积钴(Co)离子，并生长硅化钴薄膜。扫描俄歇微探针(SAM)和X光电子能谱(XPS)测量结果表明，只在纯硅区探测到了硅化钴；而氧化硅区始终未见有钴的迹象。很好地实现了在图形衬底上钴离子的选择淀积和硅化钴薄膜的选择生长。
