  • Epitaxy and Characterization of Sigec Layers Grown by Reduced Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition

The unique properties of integrating carbon in SiGe are the additional freedom for strain and bandgap engineering as well as allowing more aggressive device design due to the potential for increased thermal budget during processing. This work presents different issues on epitaxial growth, defect density, dopant incorporation and electrical properties of SiGeC epitaxial layers, intended for various device applications. Non-selective and selective epitaxial growth of Si1-x-yGexCy (0≤x≤0.30, 0≤y≤0.02) layers have been optimized by using high-resolution x-ray reciprocal lattice mapping.

Tec. 9, No. 1, 27-30 (2020) 27 International Journal of Thin Films Science and Technology http://dx.doi.org/10.18576/ijtfst/090104 An Investigation of the Techniques and Advantages of Crystal Growth Maryam Kiani*, Ehsan Parsyanpour and Feridoun Samavat* Department of Physics, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamadan, Iran. Received: 2 Aug. 2019, Revised: 22 Nov. 2019, Accepted: 23 Nov. 2019 Published online: 1 Jan. 2020 Abstract: An ideal crystal is built with regular and unlimited recurring of crystal unit in the space. Crystal growth is defined as the phase shift control. Regarding the diverse crystals and the need to produce crystals of high optical quality, several many methods have been proposed for crystal growth. Crystal growth of any specific matter requires careful and proper selection of growth method. Based on material properties, the considered quality and size of crystal, its growth methods can be classified as follows: solid phase crystal growth process, liquid phase crystal growth process which involves two major sub-groups: growth from the melt and growth from solution, as well as vapour phase crystal growth process. Methods of growth from solution are very important. Thus, most materials grow using these methods. Methods of crystal growth from melt are those of Czochralski (tensile), the Kyropoulos, Bridgman-Stockbarger, and zone melting. In growth of oxide crystals with good laser quality, Czochralski method is still predominant and it is widely used in the production of most solid-phase laser materials. Keywords: Crystal growth; Czochralski method; Kyropoulos method; Bridgman-Stockbarger method. A special method is used for each group of elements depending on their usage and importance of their impurity, or consideration of form, impurity and size of crystal.

  • 3 Single Crystals Using Czochralski Method
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Engineering & Technologies 4 (2009 2) 400-408 ~ ~ ~ УДК 669:621.315.592 Synthesis of Ca4GdO(BO3)3 Single Crystals using Czochralski Method Robert Möckel*, Margitta Hengst, Christoph Reuther and Jens Götze TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Institute of Mineralogy, Brennhausgasse 14, D-09596 Freiberg, Germany 1 Received 16.11.2009, received in revised form 03.12.2009, accepted 18.12.2009 The oxoborate Ca4GdO(BO3)3 (GdCOB) is a potential material for advanced industrial applications because of its optical and electric properties. High quality single crystals of GdCOB have been grown from a melt using the Czochralski method. Single crystals of laboratory scale are of good optical quality showing no macroscopic defects like cracks, inclusions or discolouration. Crystals in [001] direction reveal regular growth, whereas crystals in [010] are of asymmetric shape but show less difficulties during the growth process. Keywords: single crystal growth, Czochralski, oxoborate, Ca4GdO(BO3)3. 1. Introduction First investigations on the system REE2O3–CaO–B2O3 go back to the late 1960s, early 1970s, when Kindermann took care of the whole system [1]. Most of these early syntheses were realized by solid state reactions. Later, Ca4REEO(BO3)3 (REECOB) was synthesized and described by Norrestam & Nygren [2], who produced the materials by simple solid state reactions of stoichiometric mixtures as well. They showed that most trivalent REE like La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Er, and Y fit into the crystal lattice crystallizing isostructurally. First analysis of the crystallographic structures revealed analogies to calcium fluoroborate (Ca5F(BO3)3) and also to well known structure of common fluorapatite (Ca5[F/(PO4)3]).

    Analysis of Life Cycle Costs and Social Acceptance of Solar Photovoltaic Systems Implementation in Washington State Public Schools Charusheela Ghadge A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Construction Management University of Washington 2012 Committee: Yong Woo Kim Ahmed Abdel Aziz Program Authorized to offer Degree: Construction Management University of Washington Abstract Analysis of Life Cycle Costs and Social Acceptance of Solar Photovoltaic Systems Implementation in Washington State Public Schools Charusheela Ghadge Chair of Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Yong Woo Kim Department of Construction Management Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are currently the most competent renewable energy methods to retro-fit in and offset electricity for existing and newly constructed school buildings. Amidst the increasing electricity prices every year, depletion of fossil fuels reserves, disturbance in hydrological pattern and damage to present environment, has given stimulation to search for most viable and effectual solution, to offset public schools need for electricity. The present study is focused for state of Washington and in the arena of its public schools. The existing report uses four schools with PV systems as actual case studies. These case studies are evaluated - to understand the Life cycle costs associated and studies the acceptance of PV systems in social context, amongst school community. Two of the four schools examined, show PV systems as economically beneficial while two schools as case studies do not exhibit the same results. Parameters like solar radiation received and peak demand offset by PV, play an essential role in the whole analysis. Based on survey performed, all of the seventeen schools are influenced and have found a newly learning curve – to reinforce renewable ideas at a very young age among students.

COCHET-MUCHY Crismatec, Usine de Gikres, 2 me des Essarts, 386610 Gi.?res, France Abstract : The Czochralski method is one of the most widely used industrial technique to grow single-crystals, since it applies to a very large range of compounds, such as semiconductors, oxides, fluorides, etc... Many exhibit piezoelectric properties and some of them find applications in Surface-Acoustic-Waves or Bulk- Acoustic-Waves devices. That explains the large amount of work made on the development of the corresponding growth processes and the high levels of production achieved in the world today.
