In the process, the ion bombardment and the free radical transport significantly change among HAR nanostructures as the etching progresses, posing challenges to profile control. With a fixed gas ratio, a change in the profile angle occurs at a depth of approximately 400 nm, transitioning from a positive taper to a negative one. Additionally, a wave-like pillar profile is produced when using three separate (i.e., plasma turned off after each step) etching processes with varying gas ratios. To optimize passivation and etching, we adopt a three-step C4F8/SF6 plasma etching process with varying gas ratios at different etching depths. By keeping the plasma on after each step, the continuous, three-step process provides more flexibility for tuning the etching of HAR nanostructures with smooth and vertical profiles. Metalens nanostructures with 71 nm diameter and 1 μm height were created using the appropriate gas ratio. The feature size variation is less than 10 nm. This proposed continuous, multi-step process improves the controllability of silicon etching in C4F8/SF6 plasma, facilitating the nanofabrication of silicon metalens and other nanodevices.","PeriodicalId":282302,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B","volume":"34 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140728064","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}

Previous research has shown that altering beam design and the number of gates offset holes has an impact on focal spot size (FSS). However, the specific effects of beam size and offset size were not thoroughly assessed. In the present study, the influence of beam size and gate offset size was evaluated by utilizing a cold cathode electron beam. Various beam sizes were employed to achieve a small FSS, and subsequently, the smallest beam was utilized to examine the impact of gate offset size. In doing so, the smallest FSS of 0.25 mm vertical and 0.33 mm horizontal was attained without the utilization of any additional focusing lens. This illustrates that by adjusting the beam size and gate offset size, it is possible to attain a small FSS, facilitating the development of an economically viable x-ray imaging beam.","PeriodicalId":282302,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140754071","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}

We have used the modified thermionic emission (TE) current expression with a Gaussian distribution of potential barrier heights. This modified TE model assumes the presence of a series of low-barrier patches at the Schottky contact and semiconductor interface. First, we have discussed the behavior of the patch current compound relative to the TE compound in the inhomogeneous SD at 300, 200, and 100 K, as a function of standard deviation and the number of circular patches N. Then, we have investigated the behavior of temperature- and bias-dependent and bias-independent current vs voltage (I–V–T) characteristics in the 75–300 K range. In bias-dependent I–V–T curves obtained for σ1=4.35×10−5cm2/3V1/3 and σ2=7.35×10−5cm2/3V1/3 at N1=1.81×106 or N2=1.81×108, an intersection behavior has been observed in the I–V curve at 75 K for σ2 at both N values; however, the same behavior has been not observed for σ1 at both N values due to σ1<σ2. That is, the current for σ2 at 75 K has exceeded the current at higher temperatures. This behavior has been ascribed to the effective BH to decrease with decreasing temperature value. In the I–V–T curves independent of bias, such an intersection has not been observed for σ1 while it has been observed for σ2 in the I–V curves at both 75 and 100 K. Thus, it has been concluded that the bias-dependeσnt I–V equations must be used to avoid this intersection behavior while fitting the experimental I–V curve of an SD to the theoretical I–V curve.","PeriodicalId":282302,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science &amp; Technology B","volume":"141 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140369077","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}

The nanocomposite consisting of copper oxide nanowires with zinc oxide nanostructures (CuO-ZnO nanocomposite) was prepared by physical vapor deposition and thermal oxidation methods. The crystalline structure, surface topographies and morphologies, elemental composition, and optical properties of the obtained samples were studied with various techniques such as x-ray diffraction analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite was measured by testing the degradation of methylene blue under visible irradiation. An increase in the photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite was observed compared to pure CuO and ZnO. The CuO-ZnO nanocomposite demonstrated a high dye degradation of about 94% during 120 min.","PeriodicalId":282302,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science &amp; Technology B","volume":"41 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140376783","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}

This fourth state of matter is achieved by energizing a gas with radio-frequency electrical power, initiating and maintaining a stable plasma during the process cycles. Given that plasma behaves as an impedance component, an impedance-matching network becomes essential for optimizing power transfer from the source to the load (plasma). While various control strategies have been proposed for different network configurations, such as L, T, and Π networks, our work focuses on the L-type network due to its simplicity and extensive application in this domain. Several significant challenges have been identified in the existing literature, including slow dynamics, a non-monotonic decline in the reflected power, and substantial deviation in the capacitors’ path. These issues collectively impact the overall performance of the matching control system. In this article, we present a new methodology to obtain a nonlinear state-space model of the matching network for its analysis and design a proportional-integral combined with feedforward control and a control Lyapunov-barrier function to assess their effectiveness in achieving convergence to the desired matching value and guiding the path of the capacitors. These approaches aim to mitigate the recurring issues caused by capacitors moving in the wrong direction, thus improving the stability and efficiency of the impedance-matching process over time.","PeriodicalId":282302,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science &amp; Technology B","volume":"59 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140271646","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}

In this article, we explore how applying electric fields during CNT synthesis influences the as-grown nanotubes and their FE performance. We observe growth and undertake FE measurements in real time using an environmental transmission electron microscope. This is achieved through a polarizable capacitor gap within a microchip sample heater specifically designed for this purpose. Individual nanotubes are easily resolved and are predominantly single-wall CNTs. At low-applied fields, the growing nanotubes can span the gap and link with the opposite electrode, albeit with some loss due to mechanical failure. With a high-applied field and positive bias for FE, we continue to observe the oriented growth of nanotubes. However, this growth is constrained within the gap due to the possibility of FE occurring during the growth process, which can result in either saturation or damage. At any given time, we have the flexibility to halt the growth process and conduct in situ FE experiments. This approach enables us to comprehensively track the complete development of the CNTs and gain insights into the various mechanisms responsible for limiting the performance of CNT cathodes. Interestingly, we report an original self-oscillation induced destruction mechanism that has not been reported before.","PeriodicalId":282302,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science &amp; Technology B","volume":"76 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140273952","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}

In the TFTs, the channel thickness of TiO2 is set as thin as ∼16 nm. The TiO2 film is deposited by atomic layer deposition using plasma excited humified Ar, followed by crystallization into the anatase phase by thermal annealing at 500 °C in air. The gate oxide is a 300 nm thick SiO2 film, which is grown on a highly doped n+ Si substrate. The n+ Si substrate is used as the gate electrode. The drain and source electrodes of Ti are deposited by an electron beam evaporation at room temperature. The TiO2 channel is covered with multiple layers of aluminum silicate and SiO2 films to enhance the Na sorptivity. The multiple films consist of combinations of 1 nm thick SiO2 and 0.16 nm thick aluminum silicate. The channel length and width are 60 and 1000 μm, respectively. The TFT without the Na adsorption exhibits a field effect mobility of ∼0.5 cm2/V s, where the drain current is recorded around 30 μA with a gate voltage of 10 V. With immersion of the TFT in a 10 mM NaCl solution, the drain current is enhanced to the order of mA. The simulation with an equivalent circuit with source and drain resistances suggests that the field effect mobility is enhanced to ∼30 cm2/V s with the adsorption of Na.
