The use of thin film deposition techniques is only possible when high deposition rates can be reached. A novel aerosol MOCVD technique using a liquid source has recently been developed and is very promising for this purpose. The precursor materials used are the β-diketonates of yttrium, barium and copper, dissolved in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme) in various concentrations. A preliminary thermodynamic simulation of the process is a useful tool for a deeper understanding of the stability limits of the superconducting phase and the on-going reactions during deposition. The results of these simulations have been used to optimise the process conditions for YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+x growth with good superconducting properties. A comparison between the simulation and the experimental results will be given and the influence of the main process parameters (deposition temperature, oxygen partial pressure, precursor concentration,...) will be shown.","PeriodicalId":17944,"journal":{"name":"Le Journal De Physique Colloques","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77110940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Characterisation of the films using scanning electron and atomic force microscopy showed an increase in nucleation density and decrease in surface roughness with temperature. Glancing-angle X-ray diffraction determined the crystallinity and orientation of the films with respect to the substrate and deposition temperature. Films deposited on Si 3 N 4 showed preferred orientation whereas those on glass showed random orientation. Energy dispersive spectroscopy calibrated by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy indicated that the amount of chlorine and oxygen contamination decreased with increasing temperature.

Water vapour was used as reactant. The films were deposited on sputtered titanium nitride substrate, at wafer temperatures between 100°C and 210°C. An excess of water leads to the formation of copper oxide and films with a high resistivity. But no water leads to a poor nucleation and very low deposition rate. The way of injecting water plays an important role in the process: water at the beginning of the deposition time helps the nucleation and has to be stopped after a few minutes to avoid the oxidation of the film. An optimization of the operating conditions was carried out through the use of screening and modeling experimental designs. The influence of substrate temperature, carrier gas flow, water flow, water injection time and bubbler pressure was studied and leads to experimental laws, which are showing the dependence of the resistivity and the deposition rate with any of these parameters. An optimum working point was found, in term of resistivity. In that case, X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) indicate a pure copper phase. The resistivity was 1.9 μω.cm after annealling.
