Basic work principle and Applications of MEMS gyroscope(MEMS Angular Velocity Sensors)Aoyun ChenSchool of Electronic and Information Engineering, Soochow University ABSTRACTAs microelectronics is a well-developedtechnology, the research and development of MEMS isconcentrated on the research and development of micromechanical sensors and actuators, or micro mechanicaltransducers. A gyroscope is a sensor for measuringangular displacement. It is important for the attitudecontrol of a moving object. Their main applications arein the navigation systems of large vehicles, such asships, airplanes, spacecraft, etc.INTRODUCTIONGyroscopesThe critical part of a conventional gyroscope is a wheel spinning at a high speed. Therefore, conventional gyroscopes are accurate but bulky and very expensive. Their main applications are in the navigation systems of large vehicles, such as ships, airplanes, spacecraft, etc.In simplest terms, gyroscope is the sensor that measures the rate of rotation of anobject. The name “gyroscope” originated from L´eon Foucault, combining the Greek word “skopeein” meaning to see and the Greek word “gyros” meaning rotation, during his experiments to measure the rotation of the Earth.The earliest gyroscopes, such as the Sperry gyroscope, and many modern gyroscopes utilize a rotating momentum wheel attached to a gimbal structure. However, rotating wheel gyroscopes came with many disadvantages, primarily concerning bearing friction and wear. Vibrating gyroscopes, such as the Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscope (HRG) and Tuning-Fork Gyroscopes presented an effective solution to the bearing problems by eliminating rotating parts. Alternative high-performance technologies such as the Fiber-Optic Gyroscope(FOG) and Ring Laser Gyroscope (RLG) based on the Sagnac effect have also been developed. By eliminating virtually all mechanical limitations such as vibration and shock sensitivity and friction, these optical gyroscopes found many high-end applications despite their high costs.The MEMS TechnologyAs the name implies, Micro electro mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the technology that combines electrical and mechanical systems at a micro scale. Fig. 1One of the first examples of the gyrocompass, developed in the early 1800s. gyro compass gained popularity, especially in steel ships, since steel blocked the ability of magnetic compasses to find magnetic north.Practically, any device fabricated using photo-lithography based techniques with micrometer(1mm =106m) scale features that utilizes both electrical and mechanical functions could be considered MEMS. Evolved from the semiconductor fabrication technologies, the most striking feature of the MEMS technology is that it allows building moving micro-structures on a substrate. With this capability, extremely complex mechanical and electrical systems can be created. Masses, flexures, actuators, detectors, levers, linkages, gears, dampers, and many other functional building blocks can be combined to build complete sophisticated systems on a chip. Inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes utilize this capability to its fullest. Photolithography based pattern transfer methods and successive patterning of thin structural layers adapted from standard IC fabrication processes are the enabling technologies behind micromachining. By dramatically miniaturizing and batch processing complete electro-mechanical systems, substantial reductions in device size, weight and cost are achieved.Fig. 2 A 150mm wafer from a gyroscope prototyping run. In a typical production process, it is common to have well over 2000devices on a 150mm wafer.Micromachined Vibratory Rate Gyroscopes Even though an extensive variety of micromachined gyroscope designs and operation principles exist, majority of the reported micromachined gyroscopes use vibrating mechanical elements to sense angular rate. The concept of utilizing vibrating elements to induce and detect Coriolis force presents many advantages by involving no rotating parts that require bearings and eliminating friction and wear. That is the primary reason why vibratory gyroscopes have been successfully miniaturized by theuse of micromachining processes, and have become an attractive alternative to their macro-scale counterparts. The fundamental operation principle of micromachined vibratory gyroscopes relies on the sinusoidal Coriolis force induced due to the combination of vibration of a proof-mass and an orthogonal angular-rate input. The proof mass is generally suspended above the substrate by a suspension system consisting of flexible beams. The overall dynamical system is typically a two degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) mass-spring-damper system, where the rotation-induced Coriolis force causes.Applications of MEMS GyroscopesAs their performance keeps constantly improving in time, micromachined gyroscopes are becoming a viable alternative to expensive and bulky conventional inertial sensors. High-performance angular rate sensors such as precision fiber-optic gyroscopes, ring laser gyroscopes, and conventional rotating wheel gyroscopes are usually too expensive and too large for use in most emerging applications.With micromachining processes that allow batch production of micro-electro-mechanical systems on a chip similar to integrated circuits, unit costs unimaginable in any other technology are achieved. Moreover, advances in the fabrication techniques that allow electronics to be integrated on the same silicon chip together with the mechanical sensor elements provide an unmatched integration capability. Consequently, miniaturization of vibratory gyroscopes with innovative micro-fabrication processes and gyroscope designs is already becoming an attractive solution to current inertial sensing market needs, and even opening new market opportunities.With their dramatically reduced cost, size, and weight, MEMS gyroscopes potentially have a wide application spectrum in the aerospace industry, military, automotive and consumer electronics markets. The automotive industry applications are diverse, including advanced automotive safety systems such as electronic stability control (ESC), high performance Fig. 3 A packaged MEMS gyroscope chip. The threedimensional micro-scale structure is formed out of single-crystal silicon on a silicon substrate, complete with moving proof-masses, suspension beams, actuators and detectors.navigation and guidance systems, ride stabilization, roll-over detection and prevention, and next generation airbag and brake systems. A wide range of consumer electronics applications with very high volumes include image stabilization in digital cameras and camcorders, virtual reality products, inertial pointing devices, and computer gaming industry. Miniaturization of gyroscopes also enable higher-end applications including micro-satellites, microrobotics, and even implantable devices to cure vestibular disorders.Work principle of MEMS GyroscopeThe Coriolis EffectThe Coriolis effect, which defies common sense and intuition, has been observed but not fully understood for centuries. Found on many archaeological sites, the ancient toy spinning top (Figure 1.1) is an excellent example that the Coriolis effect was part of the daily life over three thousand years before Gaspard Gustave Coriolis first derived the mathematical expression of the Coriolis force in his paper “M´emoire sur les ´equations du mouvement relatif des syst´emes de corps” [1] investigating moving particles in rotating systems in 1835.The Coriolis effect arises from the fictitious Coriolis force, which appears to act on an object only when the motion is observed in a rotating non-inertial reference frame. The Foucault pendulum (Figure 1.2) demonstrates this phenomenon very well: When a swinging pendulum attached to a rotating platform such as earth is observed by a stationary observer in space, the pendulum oscillates along a constant straight line. However, an observer on earth observes that the line of oscillation processes. In the dynamics with respect to the rotating frame, the precession ofthependulum can only be explained by including the Coriolis force in the equations of motion.Coriolis force in linear vibratory rate gyroscope The most basic implementation for a micromachined vibratory rate gyroscope is a single proof mass suspended above the substrate. The proof mass is supported by anchored flexures, which serve asthe flexible suspension between the proof mass and the substrate, making the mass free to oscillate in two orthogonal directions - the drive and the sense directions (Figure 4a).The drive-mode oscillator is comprised of the proof-mass, the suspension system that allows the proof-mass to oscillate in the drive direction, and the drive-mode actuation and feedback electrodes. The proof-mass is driven into resonance in the drive direction by an external sinusoidal force at the drive-mode resonant frequency.The sense-mode accelerometer is formed by the proof-mass, the suspension system that allows the proof-mass to oscillate in the sense direction, and the sense-mode detection electrodes. When the gyroscope is subjected to an angular rotation, a sinusoidal Coriolis force at the frequency of drive-mode oscillation is induced in the sense direction.The Coriolis force excites the sense-mode accelerometer, causing the proof-mass to respond in the sense direction. This sinusoidal Coriolis response is picked up by the detection electrodes. For a generic z-Axis gyroscope, the proof mass is required to be free to oscillate in two orthogonal directions: the drive direction (x-Axis) to form the vibratory oscillator, and the sense direction (y-Axis) to form the Coriolis accelerometer. The overall dynamical system becomes simply a two degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) massspring- damper system (Fig. 4b).a) b)Fig. 4a A generic MEMS implementation of a linear vibratory rate gyroscope. A proof-mass is suspended above a substrate using a suspension system comprised of flexible beams, anchored to the substrate. One set of electrodes is needed to excite the drive-mode oscillator, and another set of electrodes detects the sense-mode response. 4b A vibratory rate gyroscope is comprised of a proof mass which is free to oscillate in two principle orthogonal directions: drive and sense.a)b)Fig. 5a Torsional gyroscope by Bosch, with a drive mode about the z-Axis. SEM courtesy of Bosch. 5b simplified schematic of torsional gyroscopeCoriolis in torsional gyroscopeGimbals are commonly used in torsional gyroscope suspension systems to decouple the drive and sense modes, and to suppress undesired modes. Many suspension system and gimbal configurations are possible in torsional vibratory gyroscopes. Similar to linear gyroscope systems, the suspension system that supports the masses and gimbals usually consists of thin flexible beams, formed in the same structural layer as the proof-mass.An example gimbal system for a z-Axis torsional gyroscope based on [97] was shown in Figure 4.23. In the drive-mode, the outer drive gimbal is excited about the x-axis. In the presence of an angular rate input about z-axis, the sinusoidal Coriolis torque is induced about the y-axis, which causes the sense-mode response of the inner mass (Figure 5a).A representative gimbal implementation in y-Axis torsional gyroscopes based on [99] is presented in Figure 4.25. The system consists of an inner gimbal that can deflect torsionally in-plane about the z-Axis, and an the outer mass attached to the inner gimbal. The drive-mode is in-plane about the z-Axis, and the sensemode is out-of-plane about the x-Axis. In the drive-mode, the inner gimbal and the outer mass oscillate together, and the angular rate input about the y-Axis generates a Coriolis torque about the x-Axis. The outer mass responds to the Coriolis torque by deflecting torsionally about the x-Axis relative to the drive gimbal. The sensemode response is detected by the out-of-plane electrodes located underneath the outer mass structure.REFERENCES[1] P. M. Whelan, M. J. Hodgon, Essential Principles of Physics, J.W.

12T,and a vacuum resistance furnace.The spec-imens were aged at 85,100and 120◦C for 7,38and 70h in 0T and 12T magnetic fields,respectively.The specimens were also aged at 120◦C in 6T magnetic field for comparative purpose.When the specimens were aged in magnetic fields,they werearranged with their solder/Cu interfaces (I,II,III)perpendicular and parallel to the →B direction,as shown in Fig.1(a).The interfacial structures of these specimens were observed under JEOL JSN-7001F Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).The chem-ical compositions of IMCs were analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).The average thickness of the IMC layer was measured by using image analysis software Image pro plus 6.0.3.Results and discussionThe interfacial structures of the eutectic SnBi/Cu joints in dif-ferent conditions can be found in Fig.1(b)–(f).The IMC layer in as-reflowed condition,as shown in Fig.1(b),was identified to be Cu 6Sn 5by EDS and previous studies [3,6].And its thickness was about 1.31m.The solder alloy in the joint appeared to be eutec-tic lamella structure.Fig.1(c)indicated the interfacial structure of the joint aged at 120◦C for 70h without magnetic field.The grain size of the eutectic solder alloy developed after it was aged,com-pared with that of the solder in as-reflowed condition,as shown in Fig.1(b).The average thickness of Cu 6Sn 5grew from 1.31to 2.76m,and a new layer of Cu 3Sn identified by EDS and previous studies appeared between Cu 6Sn 5and Cu substrate.The interfacial structures of the interconnects aged at 120◦C for 70h in 12T mag-netic field can be found in Fig.1(d)–(f).The solder alloys aged in 12T magnetic field appeared the same structure as that aged without magnetic field,as shown in Fig.1(c).The IMC layer was composed of two sub-layers,Cu 6Sn 5and Cu 3Sn.The results demonstrated that chemical compositions of IMCs formed in interconnects aged in high magnetic field were the same as those aged without mag-netic field.The average thickness of IMC layer at interface I was 5.51m,while it was 5.53m at interface II and 5.83m at inter-face III,respectively,when they were aged at 120◦C for 70h in 12T high magnetic field.The magnetic field directions do not signifi-cantly influence the IMC thickness.The same situation occurred for all samples aged at 85and 100◦C in 6T and 12T magnetic fields.The relation curves between average thickness of the total IMC at three interfaces aged at 85,100and 120◦C in 0T and 12T magnetic fields and square root of aging time were presented in Fig.2.We can find that the average thickness of IMC in eutectic SnBi/Cu joints aged at 85,100and 120◦C in 0T and 12T magnetic fields increased linearly with the square root of aging time.The slopes of curves stand for the IMC growth rates.For the interconnects aged at 85,100and 120◦C in 12T magnetic field,the IMC growth rates were 0.275,0.361and 0.524m/h 1/2,respectively.They were greater than that of IMC formed at 85,100and 120◦C in 0T magnetic field,which were 0.048,0.083and 0.164m/h 1/2,respectively.The growth rate for IMC aged at 85◦C in 12T was 0.275m/h 1/2,greater than 0.164m/h 1/2,which was growth rate for IMC aged at 120◦C in 0T.The activation energies for them can be derived from these data by Eq.(2).They are 43.29kJ/mol and 84.45kJ/mol,respectively.These results demonstrated that the IMC growth in joints aged in 12T high magnetic field was accelerated.A part of the Cu 6Sn 5will turn into Cu 3Sn with Cu diffusion into Cu 6Sn 5,therefore the total IMC growth kinetics is the same as that of Cu 6Sn 5in the solder joint.The IMC growth kinetics for the joints aged at 120◦C in 0,6and 12T magnetic fields was presented in Fig.3.We can find that the IMC growth rate increased with the magnetic intensity increasing.They were 0.164,0.255and 0.524m/h 1/2,for total IMC aged at 120◦C in 0,6and 12T magnetic fields,while they were 0.071,0.084and 0.114m/h 1/2for IMC Cu 3Sn,which can be found in the inset of Fig.3.However,the IMC growth rate was not linear dependence of the intensity of the magnetic field (see Fig.4).Many studies [13–16]have revealed that Cu diffusion is domi-nant in the Sn/Cu inter-diffusion couple during the aging process.At interface I,the →B direction was reverse to that of Cudiffusion.Fig.2.The relation curves between average thickness of total IMC and square root of aging time t 1/2for joints aged at different temperatures in 12T and 0T magnetic fields.C.Z.Liu et al./Journal of Alloys and Compounds 509 (2011) 8475–84778477Fig.3.The relation curves between average thickness of total IMC and square root of aging time t 1/2for joints aged at 120◦C in 0,6and 12T magnetic fields.The inset is the kinetics for IMC Cu 3Sn in the joints aged at 120◦C in 0,6and 12T magnetic fields.At interface II,it was the same as Cu diffusion direction,while it was perpendicular to the Cu diffusion direction at interface III.The IMC thickness at three interfaces was nearly the same,when they were aged at the same temperature for the same time in themagnetic field.This indicated that the →B direction has no obvious influence on the Cu diffusion.Diffusion and interfacial chemical reaction are two processes for IMC formation and growth in the solder/Cu joint.And these two processes will mutually affect eachother.We have known that →B direction has no influence on Cu dif-fusion.Then,we can confirm that the interfacial reactions occurred at the interfaces in solder joints were enhanced by magnetic field.During aging process,at interface Cu 3Sn/Cu,Cu 3Sn/Cu 6Sn 5and Cu 6Sn 5/Solder,chemical reactions occur,respectively.The IMC for-mation process was discussed in detail in literature [13].Chemical reaction includes many processes,such as atoms activation process,meta-stable mid-reaction,etc.The rates of reactions do not entirely depend on the dynamic energy factors.They are also affected by the order of reaction system-entropy of the system [17].According to Lewis collision theory,the chemical reaction can occur,only when the atoms (or molecules)involving in reaction collide with each other in a proper direction.This kind of collision is effective.And the reaction rates are dependent on the number of effectivecol-Fig.4.The relation curve between total IMC growth rate in SnBi/Cu joint aged at 120◦C and intensity of the magnetic field.lision between them.The high magnetic field can affect unpaired electron spin of all the atoms (or molecule)involving in the reac-tion.We knew that Sn and Cu,which are main elements in the reaction under investigation,are paramagnetic and diamagnetic,respectively.When the joint was aged in high intensity magnetic field,the Cu and Sn atoms were forced to rotate to a direction and in which more Cu and Sn atoms can collide in a proper relative position to make the collision effective.So a part or all of chemi-cal reaction rates at the interfaces were accelerated in the solder joint by the magnetic field.And it was external high magnetic field that forced the Sn and Cu atoms involving in the reaction to rotate and collide effectively.When magnetic field direction changed,Cu and Sn atoms may rotate to other direction.But their proper rel-ative position in which they collide effectively was not changed.In other direction,they also can collide effectively.That is why we can find IMC growth rates at three interfaces were the same and all enhanced.The magnetic field affected the atom activa-tion process for chemical reaction.The accelerated reactions would consume more Cu atoms and decrease the Cu concentrations at interfaces,especially that at Cu 6Sn 5/solder interface.Then the Cu concentration gradient increases in IMC phases.The increased Cu concentration gradient would accelerate the Cu atoms diffusion to compensate the loss of Cu atoms due to more IMC formation.Con-sequently,the total IMC in high magnetic field grew faster than that did without magnetic field.4.ConclusionsIn summary,the IMC growth behavior in Sn58wt.%Bi/solder joint was examined,after it was aged at 85,100and 120◦C in 0T and 12T high magnetic fields.From the present study high magnetic fields can accelerate the growth rate of IMC Cu 6Sn 5and Cu 3Sn by promoting the interfacial reaction rates in the solder joint without influencing the chemical compositions of these IMCs.The activa-tion energy for IMC growth in eutectic SnBi/Cu interconnect aged in 12T magnetic field was 43.29kJ/mol,while it was 84.45kJ/mol for the joints aged without magnetic field.The accelerated IMC growth was independent of the magnetic field direction.AcknowledgmentsThis work is supported by the National Science Foundation of China (50871026),the 111Project (B07015),Foundation for the Author of

electronics and radio frequency(RF)microwave devices,which hold great promise in applications of new energy,rail transportation,smart grid and5G communication.The processing of4H-SiC substrate wafers includes slicing,grinding,lapping,polishing and cleaning.However,the surface damages(SDs)and subsurface damages(SSDs)introduced during the processing of4H-SiC substrates affects the properties of4H-SiC substrates and epitaxial layers,and thus the performance and reliability of devices based on4H-SiC.This paper focuses on the formation and removal mechanisms of SDs/SSDs during the processing of4H-SiC substrate wafers.Based on the detection method of SDs/SSDs,the morphologies and characterization approaches of SDs/SSDs are reviewed.Finally,three commonly used technologies for the removal

damages,SDs)和亚表面损伤(subsurface damages,SSDs)㊂其中,SDs包括划痕㊁凸起㊁凹坑等,可通过光学显微镜直接观测;而SSDs主要分布于表面以下,无法通过光学显微镜直接观测㊂目前已发现的4H-SiC晶圆的SSDs包括:亚表面微裂纹㊁位错聚集㊁非晶相和残余应力等[4]㊂SDs/SSDs会在后续外延过程中作为缺陷的形核中心,严重影响外延层质量,进而影响4H-SiC基器件的性能与可靠性[5]㊂因此,准确识别SDs/SSDs,并阐明4H-SiC晶圆加工过程中SDs/SSDs的产生与去除机制,对于高质量4H-SiC晶圆的加工及应用至关重要㊂本文针对4H-SiC晶圆加工过程中产生的SDs/SSDs的形貌和来源进行分析,论述了在晶圆加工各个环节产生的SDs/SSDs的形成和去除机理,随后介绍了SSDs对后续外延和晶体生长的影响;最后简要介绍了SDs/SSDs的去除方法,比较去除效果,分析了其技术优势和发展瓶颈,并对其发展趋势进行展望㊂1㊀4H-SiC加工过程中的SDs/SSDs4H-SiC晶圆的主要加工流程分为切片㊁减薄㊁研磨㊁抛光和清洗㊂除了晶体本身的质量问题(如碳包裹㊁多型体㊁微管㊁位错等缺陷)[6],对衬底外延和后续器件制造影响最大的缺陷就是SDs/SSDs㊂由于二者均源于晶圆加工环节,因此明确SDs/SSDs的产生和去除机制,优化晶圆加工工艺,对严格控制4H-SiC晶圆的SDs/SSDs,并提升后续4H-SiC单晶生长或同质外延的质量具有重要意义㊂在4H-SiC的切片等加工工艺中,材料主要通过脆性断裂模式去除,这不可避免地会在表面下方引入微裂纹[7],造成材料的SDs和SSDs㊂亚表面的微裂纹不仅降低4H-SiC晶片的机械强度,还影响后续工艺和生产成本,是评价晶圆加工质量的一个重要指标㊂如图1(a)所示,切片工艺是影响切片过程中微裂纹损伤层厚度的关键因素㊂在后续减薄㊁研磨和抛光的加工过程中,损伤层的厚度逐渐减小,并在抛光后得到有效去除,获得全局平坦化的近无损4H-SiC晶圆㊂纳米压痕试验结果表明,4H-SiC在机械应力下产生的损伤层在宏观上呈现 Y 字形的裂纹,包括中位裂纹和侧位裂纹(见图1(b))[8]㊂其中,中位裂纹发生于磨料加载过程,随着磨料压入深度的增加,中位裂纹从变形区底端开始萌生,并向下扩展;当卸载时,中位裂纹逐渐闭合,侧位裂纹从变形区的底端开始萌生并向两侧和表面扩展,当侧位裂纹扩展到表面,形成表面破碎[2]㊂图1㊀4H-SiC衬底晶圆加工过程中SDs/SSDs的厚度变化(a)及裂纹产生的模型示意图(b)[8]

variation,LTV)㊁弯曲度(BOW)和翘曲度(WARP)㊂切片极易在4H-SiC晶片表面和亚表面产生大量裂纹和微裂纹,增加晶片的破片率和制造成本,因此控制晶片表层裂纹损伤对降低4H-SiC晶圆成本㊁推动4H-SiC基器件的发展具有重要意义㊂4H-SiC晶圆的切片方法有金刚线锯切片㊁游离砂浆线锯切片㊁激光切割和电火花切片等㊂其中,金刚线锯切片和游离砂浆线锯切片是目前4H-SiC晶圆加工最常用的切片方法,其原理是依靠金刚线或金属线带动砂浆使磨粒到达加工区域,并对磨粒施加压力,在磨料与晶锭表面接触瞬间,磨粒尖端会因冲击形成局域的微破碎,进而形成裂纹和材料脱落,以达到切片的目的[9]㊂该切割现象在单颗粒的游离砂浆线锯切实验中得到验证,但是划痕表面的材料剥落会使划痕的宽度超过磨料的直径[10],这与材料的去除方式有关㊂在晶圆加工过程中,材料的去除方式可分为脆性去除和延性去除[11]㊂由于4H-SiC具有高硬度㊁高脆性的特点,刀具刻划4H-SiC表面产生划痕的过程分为塑性阶段㊁塑脆性共存阶段和完全脆性阶段3个阶段,可以用摩擦力信号来表征[12]㊂图2所示为4H-SiC单晶的动载荷划痕实验,在塑性阶段主要以延性去除为主,摩擦力曲线光滑,划痕也以平滑凹槽为主;在塑脆性共存阶段,材料的去除既有延性去除又有脆性去除,划痕中显露出鱼鳞状凹坑;而在完全脆性阶段,脆性去除占主导,材料表面鱼鳞状凹坑进一步恶化并伴有裂纹萌生[13]㊂研究者们期望4H-SiC的材料去除机制更多表现为延性去除,以尽可能减小加工损伤和材料的损耗㊂然而,过分追求延性去除将会导致极低的材料去除率㊂因此,在脆性去除和延性去除两者间寻求一个平衡点是4H-SiC衬底加工的一个关键点㊂图2㊀4H-SiC晶圆动载荷划痕实验中划痕的摩擦力信号与载荷变化的关系(a)及划痕形貌变化图(b)[13]

/SSDs [33]㊂将微裂纹刻蚀暴露并与磨削参数对比发现,后者的变化趋势对微裂纹的影响和对表面粗糙度的影响是一致的㊂磨料的平均尺寸和磨削力对SSDs 和表面粗糙度的危害甚至大于砂轮速度和磨削的进给深度;而微裂纹的角度和密度几乎不受磨削参数的影响[34]㊂砂轮磨削工艺属于二体磨损加工㊂具体而言,磨削过程中固结在砂轮上的磨粒随着砂轮规则地往复运图4㊀砂轮磨削4H-SiC 过程中,切削速度对切削深度和SSDs 层的厚度的影响[28]Fig.4㊀Effect of cutting speed on the cutting depth and SSDs layer thickness during grinding of 4H-SiC

层的厚度与磨粒的粒度㊁研磨盘的硬度成正比,而与研磨浆料的浓度成反比,并且与研磨压力和速度无关㊂同时,磨料尺寸对SDs /SSDs 层的厚度的影响比研磨盘硬度的影响更显著,而研磨浆料浓度的影响最小[36]㊂因此,相较于砂轮磨削,游离磨粒研磨的损伤更依赖于磨料尺寸㊂如图5所示,游离磨料加工后,晶圆的层错密度降低,且晶相显现非晶㊂同时,加工表面出现明显的晶格畸变现象,这是延性去除发挥优势的结果[37]㊂图5㊀砂轮磨削(a)~(c)和游离磨料研磨(d)~(f)4H-SiC 的Si 面的横截面TEM

材料具有各1912㊀综合评述人工晶体学报㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀第52卷向异性,C面的硬度大于Si面,在C面的脆性去除更明显㊂正是由于C面硬脆性较大,C面材料更容易产生微裂纹使材料剥落,因而C面的材料去除速率高于Si面[20],研磨后C面形成的SSDs的厚度大于Si面[35]㊂1.3㊀抛光过程引入的损伤层抛光工艺旨在进一步提高晶片的表面质量,改善表面粗糙度及平整度,使其表面质量特征参数符合后序加工中的精度要求㊂适合4H-SiC单晶片的精密抛光加工方法主要有机械抛光[39]㊁离子束抛光[40]㊁等离子体辅助抛光[41]和化学机械抛光(chemical mechanical polishing,CMP)[42]等㊂机械抛光以机械研磨为主,采用更小粒径的硬磨料对晶片表面进行延性去除,以去除研磨过程的残留应力层和机械损伤层,提高表面平面度及表面质量㊂离子束抛光技术是一种通过离子源发射离子束轰击光学零件表面产生物理溅射效应去除面形误差的新型抛光技术,近年来已逐渐应用于大口径光学元件的加工[43]㊂而CMP是目前实现4H-SiC晶片全局平坦化最有效的方法㊂4H-SiC衬底晶圆的CMP主要是在以氧化铝(Al2O3)㊁二氧化硅(SiO2)和二氧化铈(CeO2)等磨料,和以高锰酸钾(KMnO4)㊁双氧水(H2O2)等氧化剂共同组成的抛光液中,伴随氧化反应和机械去除同步进行,实现材料的去除和表面修整[44]㊂在CMP过程中,抛光浆料中的氧化剂首先氧化4H-SiC,在材料表面形成Si-C-O的过渡氧化态㊂氧化物的硬度低于4H-SiC,这确保了氧化物可以通过低硬度磨料的机械作用被去除,基于氧化和机械去除的循环实现了4H-SiC晶圆的CMP[45]㊂一般来说,CMP工艺可以在不造成SSDs的情况下加工全局平坦化的4H-SiC 衬底晶圆,且CMP处理后的SiC晶圆表面可以出现原子级台阶结构[46]㊂然而在实际生产加工中,由于操作不当或抛光耗材不合格等问题,经CMP后依旧发现衬底有局部损伤㊂在此条件下,重复CMP步骤时,可以看出残留划痕的位置发生了变化,这表明CMP本身是可能会产生细微划痕的[47]㊂CMP处理后残留的损伤有以下两种产生机制:1)在CMP之前引入的损伤,在CMP期间持续存在;2)在CMP期间引入的损伤[48]㊂在原子力显微镜(AFM)下,这些表面可以是无特征的或显示一些极小的抛光损伤㊂然而,在外延生长之前或期间经过高温热加工后,可以显示出密集的划痕和缺陷网络,该网络对应于机械磨损过程中冲击到4H-SiC 表面的SSDs或位错网络[49]㊂这些损伤有的来自于前道工序残留CMP没有完全去除的,而有的损伤则是由于CMP进行过程中,环境中的颗粒物等意外掉落于晶圆表面并参与抛光过程引起的划伤㊂因为这些纳米级划痕并不是均匀地引入到晶圆表面,而是非常局部地存在[42,50]㊂这些掉落物可能是大颗粒的二氧化硅,也有可能是4H-SiC晶圆的纳米级或亚微米级切屑㊂为了更好地解释CMP工序中意外引入损伤的产生机制,对比损伤形貌和在不同条件下获得的4H-SiC晶圆的位错结构,可以发现晶圆上的局部损伤是由CMP过程中施加的高局部应力造成的[51]㊂Tsukimoto等[52]通过高角度分辨电子背散射衍射(HR-EBSD)技术测量了4H-SiC晶片磨削损伤层的弹性应变分布来验证以上猜想㊂如图6所示,在晶圆加工位置的下方由于非常大的塑性应变会产生缺陷区域,通过研磨相互作用与相关的塑性变形和断裂不均匀地引入了晶格缺陷㊂基于这一机理,可以解释为在整个4H-SiC衬底的加工环节中,晶圆表面被施加高局部作用力而发生弹塑性变形是SSDs产生的最根本原因㊂图6㊀4H-SiC晶圆损伤层的高分辨TEM照片,显示微裂纹沿箭头所示路径从表面上的一点(X)向晶圆内部点(Y)扩展[52]

在晶圆表面仅呈现为划痕,但其纵向裂纹深度㊁具体结构等需要借助特殊手段来观测㊂脆性材料晶圆的SSDs 检测方法可分为有损检测和无损检测两类㊂其中,有损检测包括截面显微法[54]㊁角度抛光法[55]㊁化学刻蚀法[56]等㊂然而,它们在检测上都有一些瑕疵:前两者虽然可以直观看到SSDs 的形貌,但样本制作流程过于繁琐;化学刻蚀法操作方便,但刻蚀深度无法精准控制㊂无损检测方法包括声学显微镜[57]㊁拉曼光谱分析[55]㊁X 射线衍射[58]㊁共聚焦激光扫描法[59]㊁光致发光(PL)[60]等㊂这些方法同样适用于4H-SiC 晶圆的SSDs 的检测㊂图7㊀4H-SiC 晶圆在CMP 后残留划痕的光学显微镜(a)和SEM(b)照片[50]Fig.7㊀Optical

主要可分为严重损伤部分和高应力弹性变形部分,其中严重损伤部分由微裂纹㊁非晶层㊁多晶层㊁位错等组成㊂而这两部分的比例由加工的参数和磨料的性质决定,且这两部分没有确切的边界,如图9所示[62]㊂随着加工的深入和磨料的尺寸降低,损伤逐渐降低至外延可接受范围,获得近无损的晶圆表面㊂图8㊀4H-SiC 晶圆抛光后的SSDs 分布的示意图[61]Fig.8㊀Schematic of SSDs after

good photoelectric properties.At present,among many preparation methods of Sb 2Se 3,vapor transfer deposition (VTD)has attracted much attention because of its simple process and large area preparation.There are many factors affecting the preparation of Sb 2Se 3films by VTD,such as chamber pressure,reaction temperature,the position of evaporation source and substrate,substrate inclination and so on.Sb 2Se 3thin films were prepared by VTD at different substrate inclinations (30ʎ,45ʎ,60ʎ,90ʎ)and characterized by XRD,Raman,SEM and near infrared-ultraviolet (NI-UV)reflection.The results show that different substrate inclinations have obvious effects on the structure and optical properties of the films.The grain size first increases and then decreases with the increase of substrate inclination.At the same time,the morphology of the film changes from rod to sheet.When the substrate inclination is 90ʎ,the film becomes dense.The NI-UV reflection spectrum shows that the sample with an inclination of 60ʎ,has the lowest reflectivity in the range ofwavelength less than 1100nm.The FTO /CdS /Sb 2Se 3/C device prepared at this angle has a conversion efficiency of 2.38%.Key words :Sb 2Se 3;vapor transfer deposition;substrate inclination;solar cell;microstructure;band gap

谱㊂由图可知,不同基底倾角的样品在XRD 谱中出现了较为明显的Sb 2Se 3特征峰(JCPDS 00-089-0821),Sb 2Se 3的三强峰发生在2θ为28.2ʎ㊁31.2ʎ以及32.2ʎ处,其分别对应Sb 2Se 3的三个晶面(221)㊁(211)及(301)㊂同时可以看到,随着生长角的增大,(211)和(221)晶面的峰值强度呈先增强后减弱的趋势㊂当基底倾角为30ʎ时,薄膜是以(120)取向生长㊂随着倾角的增大,Sb 2Se 3薄膜的(211)和(221)晶面都呈先增强后减弱的趋势,其中(221)晶面衍射峰变化最为明显,该现象表明Sb 2Se 3薄膜由(120)取向转为(221)取向生长㊂有研究表明:(221)晶面生长反映着[Sb 4Se 6]n 带斜立于基底上,其对载流子传输有利;如果(120)为择优取向,[Sb 4Se 6]n 带平行于基底上,且载流子主要在带间传输,该现象将影响载流子传输[11]㊂因而,从图中可知以基底倾角为60ʎ制备薄膜,更适合于后续电池的制备㊂通过Scherrer

一、半导体缺陷1.位错:位错又可称为差排(英语:dislocation),在材料科学中,指晶体材料的一种内部微观缺陷,即原子的局部不规则排列(晶体学缺陷)。
从几何角度看,位错属于一种线缺陷,可视为晶体中已滑移部分与未滑移部分的分界线,其存在对材料的物理性能,尤其是力学性能,具有极大的影响。
产生原因:晶体生长过程中,籽晶中的位错、固-液界面附近落入不溶性固态颗粒,界面附近温度梯度或温度波动以及机械振动都会在晶体中产生位错。
在晶体生长后,快速降温也容易增殖位错。
(111)呈三角形;(100)呈方形;(110)呈菱形。
2.杂质条纹:晶体纵剖面经化学腐蚀后可见明、暗相间的层状分布条纹,又称为电阻率条纹。
杂质条纹有分布规律,在垂直生长轴方向的横断面上,一般成环状分布;在平行生长轴方向的纵剖面上,呈层状分布。
反映了固-液界面结晶前沿的形状。
产生原因:晶体生长时,由于重力产生的自然对流和搅拌产生的强制对流,引起固-液界近附近的温度发生微小的周期性变化,导致晶体微观生长速率的变化,或引起杂质边界厚度起伏,一截小平面效应和热场不对称等,均使晶体结晶时杂质有效分凝系数产生波动,引起杂质中杂质浓度分布发生相应的变化,从而在晶体中形成杂质条纹。
解决方案::调整热场,使之具有良好的轴对称性,并使晶体的旋转轴尽量与热场中心轴同轴,抑制或减弱熔热对流,可以使晶体中杂质趋于均匀分布。
采用磁场拉晶工艺或无重力条件下拉晶可以消除杂质条纹。
3.凹坑:晶体经过化学腐蚀后,由于晶体的局部区域具有较快的腐蚀速度,使晶体横断面上出现的坑。
腐蚀温度越高,腐蚀时间越长,则凹坑就越深,甚至贯穿。
4.空洞:单晶切断面上无规则、大小不等的小孔。
产生原因:在气氛下拉制单晶,由于气体在熔体中溶解度大,当晶体生长时,气体溶解度则减小呈过饱和状态。
如果晶体生长过快,则气体无法及时从熔体中排出,则会在晶体中形成空洞。

The unit is capable of producing pulses of up to 3000 V on a high-voltage circuit, and up to 500 V on a low-voltage circuit. For generating pulses on the high voltage circuit, capacitors of 10, 15, and 25 µF present in the Gene Pulser Xcell main unit are used and generating pulses on the low-voltage circuit requires use of capacitors in the CE Module. Exponential decay (or capacitance discharge) and square wave pulses are the most commonly used types of electrical pulse. Anin-depth discussion of these two waveforms can be found in Section 4.The Gene Pulser Xcell is a modular system, comprising of a main unit and two accessory modules,the CE module and the PC module, in addition to the shocking chamber and a cuvette with incorporated electrodes. The CE Module is recommended for use with the Gene Pulser Xcell main unit for electroporation of most eukaryotic cells, including mammalian cells and plant protoplasts. The CE Module should only be used with low-resistance media (<1000 ohms). For exponential decay pulses, the CE Module provides a means of controlling the capacitance of the circuit by increasing the time constant of the pulse. For square wave pulses, the CE Module provides the large capacitor necessary for delivering a square wave pulse into low resistance media. This module contains a set of capacitors with a functional range between 50 and 3275 µF and selectable in 25 µF increments. For square wave pulses, the CE Module provides the large capacitance, 3275 µF, necessary for delivering a square wave pulse into low resistance media.The PC Module is recommended for the electroporation of bacteria and fungi using exponential decay, as well as in other applications where high-voltage pulses are applied to samples of small volume and high resistance. The PC Module selects resistance of 50 ohms 1000 ohms in 50-ohm increments. The unit is used to control the resistance of the circuit by placing resistors in parallel with the sample, thereby provid-ing a means of reducing the time constant of an exponential decay pulse. This provides an effective means of controlling the time constant when using high-resistance media but has little effect on the time constant when using low-resistance media. The PC Module greatly reduces the likelihood of an arc occurring at high voltage. It is not recommended that the PC module be used for square wave pulses due to the increase in droop of the pulse that can occur (see Section 4).Both the PC Module and CE Module have integral leads that connect to the main unit (see Section 2 for installation) and both units are controlled directly from the user interface on the front panel of the main unit.1.1General Safety InformationThis Bio-Rad instrument is designed and certified to meet the safety requirements of EN61010 and the EMC requirements of EN61326 (for Class A) and conforms to the “Class A” standards for electromagnetic emissions intended for laboratory equipment applications. This instrument is intended for laboratory application only. It is possible that emissions from this product may interfere with some sensitive appliances when placed nearby or in the same circuit as those appliances. The user should be aware of this potential and take appropriate measures to avoid interference.No part of the Gene Pulser Xcell system should be used if obvious external case damage has occurred or the electronic displays are not functioning as described in the manual. This instrument is only to be used with the components provided (or their authorized additions or replacements) including, but not limited to, supplied cables and ShockPod. The operating temperature range for the Gene Pulser Xcell system and its associated components is 0–35°C.1There are no user serviceable parts within the unit. The operator should make no attempt to open any case cover or defeat any safety interlock. This instrument must not be altered or modified in any way. Alteration of this instrument will•Void the manufacturer’s warranty•Void the IEC 1010 safety certification•Create a potential safety hazardBio-Rad is not responsible for any injury or damage caused by the use of this instrument for purposes other than those for which it is intended or by modification of the instrument not performed by Bio-Rad or an authorized agent.1.2Electrical HazardsThe Gene Pulser Xcell produces voltages up to 3,000 volts and is capable of passing very high currents. When charged to maximum voltage, the instrument stores about 400 joules. A certain degree of respect is required for energy levels of this order. System safety features prevent operator access to the recessed input jacks and to the recessed electrode contacts inside the sample chamber. These mechanical interlocks should never be circumvented.The pulse button is active whenever the character space in the lower right corner is flashing. There is high voltage present whenever the pulse button is depressed and “Pulsing” is shown on the LCD display on the front of the instrument. Because of the built-in safety interlock in the ShockPod, no pulse is delivered to the cuvette when the ShockPod lid is opened. If the capacitor has been partially charged but not fired (for example, when the charging cycle has been interrupted before the pulse is delivered), some charge may remain on the internal capacitor. This charge will dissipate over 1–2 minutes. However, the user cannot make contact with any charged electrical components due to the system safety features.1.3Mechanical HazardsThe Gene Pulser Xcell contains a patented arc-protection circuit that dramatically reduces the incidence of arcing in the cuvette when high voltage is delivered into the sample. The unit incorporates a circuit that senses the beginning of an arc and diverts current from the sample within <10 µsec, preventing, or greatly reducing, mechanical, visual, and auditory phenomena at the ShockPod. Should an arc occur, the sample chamber is effective in containing these small discharges, but nonetheless we strongly recommend wearing safety glasses when using the instrument.1.4Other Safety PrecautionsAvoid spilling any liquids onto the apparatus. Use only a paper towel or a cloth wet with either water or alcohol to clean the outside surfaces of the Gene Pulser Xcell.Use only the Bio-Rad cables supplied with the Gene Pulser Xcell.Use the ShockPod only in the assembled condition. Do not attempt to circumvent the protection of the ShockPod or use it while disassembled.Verify the display segments periodically.Read the instruction manual before using the Gene Pulser Xcell Electroporation System. For technical assistance contact your local Bio-Rad office or, in the US, call technical services at 1-800-4BIORAD(1-800-424-6723).2Warning: The Gene Pulser Xcell generates, uses, and radiates radio frequency energy. If it is not used in accordance with the instructions given in this manual, it may cause interference with radio communications. The Gene Pulser Xcell has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A computing devices (pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules) which provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference. In this case the user will be required, at their expense, to take whatever measure may be required to correct the interference.Section 2Unpacking and System InstallationThe Gene Pulser XCell™ can be purchased as three systems as well as component parts:165-2660Gene Pulser Xcell Total System for eukaryotic and microbial cells, 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz, exponential decay and square wave delivery, includes main unit, CE Module, PCModule, ShockPod, 15 sterile cuvettes (5 each of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 cm gap),instruction manual165-2661Gene Pulser Xcell Eukaryotic System, 100/240 V, 50/60 Hz, exponential decay (25–3,275 µF range) and square wave delivery, includes main unit, CE Module,ShockPod, 5 sterile cuvettes (0.4 cm gap), instruction manual165-2662Gene Pulser Xcell Microbial System, 100/240 V, 50/60 Hz, exponential decay and square wave delivery, includes main unit, PC Module, ShockPod, 10 sterile cuvettes(5 each of 0.1 and 0.2 cm gap), instruction manual165-2666Gene Pulser Xcell main unit, 100/240 V, 50/60 Hz165-2667Gene Pulser Xcell CE Module, 25–3,275 µF range controlled by main unit, includes integral leads, 5 sterile cuvettes (0.4 cm gap), instruction manual165-2668Gene Pulser Xcell PC Module, 50–1,000 ohm range controlled by main unit, includes integral leads, 10 sterile cuvettes (5 each of 0.1 and 0.2 cm gap)165-2669Gene Pulser Xcell ShockPod shocking chamber, includes integral leads for connection to Gene Pulser Xcell, Gene Pulser II, or MicroPulser2.1Unpacking the System ComponentsRemove all packing material and connect components on a flat, dry surface near an appropriate electrical outlet.Upon receiving your instrument, please check that all items listed were shipped.

During this time “Pulsing” is shown on the LCDdisplay. A tone sounds to indicate that the pulse has been delivered. Whenmultiple pulses are delivered, a tone sounds after the last pulse has beendelivered. The Pulse is discharged to the electrodes if the ShockPod isconnected and the lid is closed. Otherwise, it is discharged safely within theinstrument.3.3 Manual Operation3.3.1 Manual Operation (Quick Guide)•From the Home screen:•Press Enter to select exponential decay;•Press 2, then Enter to select exponential decay but specifying a time constant;•Press 3, then Enter to select square wave.•Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to scroll through the parameter value spaces on the screen.When a parameter value is highlighted, use the keypad to enter a value, then press Enter to accept that value.•When the necessary parameter values have been entered, the Pulse button on the Gene Pulser Xcell is active.•Press the Pulse button to electroporate the sample.•Press the Back key to return to the Protocol Detail screen and to deliver another pulse.3.3.2 Electroporation using Exponential Decay PulsesSee Section 4.1 for a discussion of electroporation using exponential decay pulses.•When the Home screen (Figure 3.2) is selected, the number 1, corresponding to “Exponential protocol” is highlighted as the default choice. Press Enter to view the Protocol Detail Screen. If the number 1 on the Home screen is not highlighted, press 1 or use the Up or Down Arrow keys to highlight “Exponential protocol”, then press Enter to select. The Protocol Detail screen appears (Figure 3.3).•The following combination of parameters may be entered:Capacitance + VoltageCapacitance + Voltage + ResistanceThe three variables may be selected in any order, however, the set voltage will determine whether the high voltage or the low voltage circuit is to be used and will limit the range of the capacitance as indicated in Table 3.1. If a value for the capacitance is chosen that outside the range of the system, this value will default to the closest allowable value.Specifying a resistance value requires that the PC Module be attached. This is always recommended with high resistance media (i.e., >600 ohm) such as water, sucrose, glycerol, sorbitol, or polyethylene glycol. The PC Module places a resistor in parallel with the sample to reduce the resistance of the circuit. In this way, the time constant of a high-resistance sample may be reduced and controlled.•When the necessary parameter values have been specified, a flashing “P” appears in the character space in the lower right corner of the LCD display indicating that the pulse button on the Gene Pulser Xcell is active and that a pulse may be delivered.•Press the Pulse button to deliver a pulse. When the Pulse button is depressed, the LCD display will blank then show “Pulsing”. Upon completion, a tone will sound and the pulse measurements will be displayed on the Protocol Results screen (see Figure 3.8, Section 3.3.5).•Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to toggle between the Protocol Results screen and the last Protocol Detail screen.•With the Protocol Detail screen on the LCD display another pulse can be delivered using the same pulse parameters. To change the pulse conditions, press Enter; the cursor appears in the voltage parameter value. The parameters may be changed as described above.•To save the pulse parameters, see Section 3.3.6.•To review previously delivered pulses, see Section 3.8.3.3.5 Results ScreensAfter delivering a pulse, the LCD displays the results on a Protocol Results screen. This screen shows the results in both graphic and tabular form. Figures 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 show examples of the results from an exponential decay pulse, an exponential decay pulse in which the time constant was specified, and a square wave pulse, respectively.Results of the last 100 pulses as well as of the pulse parameters are stored in Gene Pulser Xcell memory and are accessible from the Data Management program (Section 3.8).3.4.2 Electroporation using Pre-set ProtocolsThere are nine Pre-set Bacterial Protocols, six Pre-set Fungal Protocols, and 12 Pre-set Mammalian Protocols.

Because it cannot be absorbed by the human body in a short time, the excessive H2 will easily gather around the implant or form a subcutaneous airbag, which will not only cause the inflammation of the implant site, but also hinder the adhesion and growth of cells in the implant, limiting its clinical application prospects. Surface modification technology can effectively delay the degradation rate of medical magnesium and magnesium alloys, and reduce the rate of hydrogen evolution.Firstly, starting from the structure and performance characteristics of organic materials (phytic acid (PA), chitosan (CS), stearic acid (SA), dopamine (DA), polylactic acid glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA), polylactic acid (PLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL)), the mechanism of improving the corrosion resistance of magnesium and magnesium alloys by a single organic coating was analyzed, and the performance weaknesses of a single coating were also pointed out: ①Micro arc oxidation (MAO) is an anodic oxidation process that generates a highly adhesive ceramic oxide coating on the surface of an alloy immersed in an electrolyte through high voltage (up to 300 V) spark discharge. The continuous high voltage discharge and the bubbles generated by the reaction bring about the inevitable occurrence of a large number of volcanic micropores and cracks in the coating. The diversity of discharge modes also gives rise to the unpredictable morphology of micropores and cracks. Therefore, the preparation of a single MAO coating on different alloy surfaces does not only require proper adjustment of MAO electrical parameters (current density, voltage, duty cycle, frequency, oxidation time) and the coupling effect of its electrolyte system to decrease (small) the pores and cracks on the MAO coating surface, but also increases the sealing process at the later stage. ② A single organic coating has a low bonding strength with magnesium alloy, being easy to flake off. These performance weaknesses limit the protection effect of a single coating on magnesium alloy degradation.Secondly, from the perspectives of bonding strength, corrosion resistance, and versatility (biosafety, biocompatibility, induced regeneration, antibacterial and antibacterial properties, drug loading and sustained-release properties, and so on), the structural characteristics and advantages of each MAO/organic composite coating were elaborated in detail. It has revealed that MAO/organic composite coating has an enormous application potentiality in the field of surface modification of medical magnesium and magnesium alloys, thanks to its good corrosion inhibition and degradation performance. On this basis, it is clearly pointed out that, in order to achieve the biological activity and versatility of medical magnesium alloy implant materials, the best way is to adopt the MAO/PCL (MAO/CS) composite coating as the base coating and make the cross combination of PCL (CS) coating and other coatings. Finally, the evolution direction of magnesium alloy MAO/organic composite coating is scientifically predicted.KEY WORDS: magnesium alloy; micro-arc oxidation; organic materials; composite coating; evolution direction作为人体所必须的营养元素,镁不但辅助600多种酶的合成(包括参与、维护DNA和RNA聚合酶的正确结构和活性),而且改善胰岛素稳定和糖类正常代谢、舒张血管、降低冠心病、高血压及糖尿病的患病风险[1]。

In fourth-generation computers such as microcomputers, which first appeared in the mid-1970s, large-scale integration enabled thousands of circuits to be incorporated on one chip.

Computer hardware in and of itself does not provide a particularly useful mind tool. To be useful, a computer requires a set of instructions, called software or a computer program, which tells the computer how to perform a particular task.

Substrate-effect on the magnetic microstructure of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films studied by magnetic force microscopyR. Desfeux, S. Bailleul and A. Da CostaLaboratoire de Physico-Chimie des Interfaces et Applications, Université d’Artois, Rue Jean Souvraz, SP 18, 62307 Lens Cedex, FranceW. Prellier and A.M. Haghiri-GosnetLaboratoire CRISMAT, UMR CNRS 6508, 6 Boulevard du Maréchal Juin, 14050 Caen Cedex, FranceABSTRACTColossal magnetoresistive (CMR) La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) thin films have been grown under tensile strains on (100)-SrTiO3 substrates and compressive strains on (100)-LaAlO3 and (110)-NdGaO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Using magnetic force microscopy (MFM), a “feather-like” magnetic pattern, characteristic of films with an in-plane magnetization, is observed for films deposited on both SrTiO3 and NdGaO3 while a “bubble”magnetic pattern, typical of films with an out-of plane magnetization, is recorded for LaAlO3. We show that the shape of the magnetic pattern imaged by MFM is fully correlated to the easy direction of the magnetization in the film.Electronic mail : desfeux@univ-artois.frThe recent reports of spectacularly large magnetoresistance in the R1-x A x MnO3 mixed valence manganite perovskite structures (R=rare earth, A=divalent alkali),1-2 have renewed interest in studying these so-called “Colossal Magnetoresistance (CMR)” materials due to their potential applications in devices as field-sensor or magnetic reading heads. However, for a great number of these possible industrial applications, these materials have to be prepared in the form of thin films. For this reason numerous groups are working in order to get films with the best structural and physical properties.3-4 However, the properties of the films are often different as compared to the bulk one. Thus, it is of a great interest to understand the origin of such differences. Recent results have shown that some properties, including specially structural deformation or anisotropic magnetic properties, were strongly dependent on the substrate.5-6 Such results were explained in terms of stress (compressive or tensile) induced by lattice mismatch between the film and the substrate.In this letter, we report on the characterization by x-rays diffraction (XRD), Atomic and Magnetic Force Microscopy (AFM and MFM) at Room Temperature (RT) of the surface morphology and of the magnetic microstructure of the ferromagnetic surface of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) thin films deposited on various substrates. We show that the substrate-induced stress leads to strong structural variations of the LSMO cell and that the different magnetic microstructures of the LSMO films can be fully correlated to the easy direction of magnetization M in the film.LSMO thin films (1500Å) were grown by pulsed laser deposition. LSMO was chosen for this study since this compound appears to be one of the most attractive for device applications due to its high Curie Temperature (369 K).7 Thus, this allows us undertaking MFM measurements at RT. High dense targets of LSMO were utilized for the deposition carried at 840°C under an oxygen pressure of to 0.3 mbar. After deposition, the films were slowly cooled to RT under 500 mbar of O2.3-4 The ferromagnetic state of the films at RT havebeen evidenced using a Quantum Design SQUID magnetometer. The substrates are (100)-SrTiO3 (STO, cubic with a=3.905Å), (100)-LaAlO3 (LAO, pseudocubic with a=3.789Å) and (110)-NdGaO3 (NGO, orthorhombic with a=5.426Å, b=5.502Å and c=7.706Å). To eliminate extrinsic factors during the growth, the different samples were deposited in the same run.Structural characterization was performed in the θ-2θ scan mode using a Rigaku Miniflex + diffractometer (CuΚα1,λ=1.5406Å). AFM and MFM measurements were carried out in air at RT by using a Park Autoprobe CP Scanning Force Microscope. The AFM images were done in contact mode with Si ultralever tips. MFM imaging was performed in non-contact mode using the ac method of detection which is responsive to force gradients. Si microlevers tips with an overcoat of cobalt have been used. Before imaging, the tip is magnetized in a DC magnetic field in order to align the moments of the tip perpendicular to the sample, i.e. along the growth direction of the thin film. For this reason the MFM contrast will be higher on films presenting an out-of-plane easy axis. Moreover, it will be more difficult to image the magnetic pattern of films with an in-plane easy axis and without any out-plane magnetic component.Considering that the LSMO materials deposited in form of thin films do not exhibit anymore a rhombohedral cell as the bulk one’s but a tetragonal one with a I-type lattice leading to films with the c&-axis perpendicular to the plane of the substrate as reported by Haghiri-Gosnet et al,4 we can ensured, through the XRD patterns that [001]LSMO//[001]STO andand [001]LSMO//[110]NGO. Note that in all the films, no other impurity phase is detectable. LAOThe c&-axis lattice constant calculation of the film shows considerable deviations from the bulk LSMO value (3.889 Å). On STO, the c&-axis lattice constant value is shortened (c = 3.851Å) while on LAO and NGO, it is elongated (3.919Å and 3.902Å respectively). From the calculation of the lattice mismatch δ between the substrate and the LSMO bulk material (δ =+0.41% for STO, -2.57% for LAO and –0.78% for NGO, we show that the c&-axis lattice constant values are in good agreement with the Poisson’s relation i.e. when the a- and b-lattice constants values in the plane of the substrate are bigger than those of the LSMO bulk (case of STO), the films grown under tensile strains whereas when a- and b- are smaller (case of LAO and NGO), the films grown under compressive strains. Such results, in good agreement with Tsui et al on LSMO films grown on various substrates,8 are not surprising since in fact, these manganites thin films are very sensitive to external perturbations, strain being one of them.9From the AFM study performed on the different samples, we can see that the surface morphology is similar for all the films with the existence of a granular-like surface with rounded grains (Fig. 1). This similarity in the growth morphology on the different substrates, showing an island-like growth mode, is surprising. This means that during the ablation process, the LSMO accommodates the strains, leading to strong distortion of the perovskite cell. As a result, the film of oxide will grow in the same way since its cell is highly distorted. However, some differences exist concerning the mean grains diameter, the mean surface roughness (R ms) and the maximum peak to valley roughness (R p-v) values depending on the choice of the substrate. On LAO and NGO, we remark that the R ms and R p-v values are about the same (40 Å and 280 Å respectively) but are lower that those obtained for the films on STO which are about the double (R ms=80 Å and R p-v=490 Å). Concerning the mean grains diameter values, we found that they are in the same order as the R ms and R p-v values. Indeed, the mean grains diameter of films grown on STO is around 750 Å i.e . larger than this obtained on NGO (700 Å) and LAO (600 Å). Kwon et al.6 have attributed theses results to the difference in the atomic mobility during growth between the different substrates. Indeed, the surface mobility usually results in improvements in film-surface morphology because of enhancement nucleation and annealing defects during growth.10 Thus in our films, we conclude the mobilityof the species is higher on STO substrates than on NGO and LAO substrates leading to a higher roughness on STO, in spite of the mismatch between the film and the substrate. This also indicates that in LSMO films, the mobility is the major factor for the roughness before the mismatch. Next, the samples which have never come into contact with a magnetic field have been studied by MFM. The MFM images (Fig. 2) show that there is no direct correspondence with the granular-like surface observed on the AFM images (Fig. 1). Such an observation confirms that there is no topographic information on the MFM images and that the observed contrasts are only due to the sample-tip magnetic interaction. On the Figs. 2(a) and 2(c), some artefacts appear on the form of horizontal lines. Such artefacts can be explained by the strong difficulty to stabilize the MFM signal or/and by a switching of magnetic domains due to the interactions with the tip during the scan confirming the small coercitive field of the film (H c≈ 5 Gauss4,6,8). The MFM images are totally different on each substrate. Thus, on both STO and NGO, we can see an uniform color surface image, without significant contrasts [see Figs 2(a) and 2(c)]. Such a magnetic pattern, described as a “feather-like” pattern by Kwon et al,6 is typical of films with an in-plane magnetization.11 For LAO substrates, we can see highly circular contrasted black and white domains which have the shape of “bubble”. Such patterns are characteristics of films with an out-of-plane magnetization. The contrast comes from domains with a magnetization up for the white domains and down for the black domains indicating a large perpendicular anisotropy. The mean magnetic circular domains diameter is about 0.3 µm. Such a stable and spontaneous appearance of magnetic bubble domains without an external magnetic field has been already seen in a La1.4Sr1.6Mn2O7 layered ferromagnetic manganite crystal.12 This feature has been shown as extremely interesting in order to develop devices based on magnetic bubble memory. However to our knowledge, this phenomenon was only observed at low temperature(close to 70 K). So, the results obtained on LSMO films deposited on LAO are remarkable in the sense that this phenomenon can be observed at RT without external magnetic field.To explain the role of the substrate on the shape of the magnetic domains observed by MFM at the surface of the film, we have considered the values of the lattice mismatch δ and the easy direction of magnetization M in the film. It is shown that a positive value of δ (for STO) led to a magnetic pattern with M in the plane (case of STO).4-6 On the contrary, when δwas negative (for NGO and LAO), two magnetic patterns were observed i.e. a one with M out-of-plane (for LAO) and one other with M in the plane (for NGO). These results show that the magnetic pattern shape can not be correlated to the negative or positive value of δ since a similar « feather-like » magnetic pattern is obtained for films under tensile (case of STO) and compressive strain (case of NGO). A more relevant parameter to predict the shape of the magnetic pattern is the easy direction of magnetization M of the films. LSMO films deposited on STO and NGO exhibit an easy-plane magnetic anisotropy4,6,8, while on LAO films present an out-plane anisotropy4,6. As a conclusion, the magnetic pattern in LSMO films observed by MFM can be explained by taking into account the direction of the easy axis direction of magnetization of the film : an in-plane magnetization will lead to a “feather-like” magnetic pattern while an out-of-plane magnetization will lead to a “bubble” magnetic pattern. However, interestingly is the magnetic domains shape when M is out-of-plane in the case of LAO. Indeed, the “bubble” magnetic domain shape obtained on LAO is quite different compared to the “maze-like” ’s one recorded by Kwon et al.6 on such a type of sample. Although these two patterns are characteristics of films with M out-of-plane 13, the explanation of such a magnetic domain shape is not so easy except if we take into consideration the nature and the structural properties of LAO substrates.14 Due to the phase transition between the cubic prototype high temperature phase above T C = 544°C and rhombohedral symmetry below T C, twinning appear in the {001} and {110} planes of thepseudo-cubic lattice when temperature is decreasing below T C during the cooling after growth. At RT, the crystal is cut and polished near a rational crystallographic plane i.e. (001)cub. When the substrate is heated above T C for the growth of the film, the twinning disappear. However,“footprints” of the previous twin-domain pattern will remain as a surface relief. Also, during the growth, thermal strains or other defects will be redistributed in the substrate due to the growth temperature used (around 800°C). Twin walls will occur in other positions and orientations when the crystal will be again cooled to RT. So the crystal will be an overlay of new twin walls and footprints of previous domains. So, we suggest that the growth conditions play an important role on the structural properties of the LAO substrate leading to the observation of two different magnetic microstructures (“maze-like” and “bubble”) at the surface of the film.In conclusion, we have demonstrated that lattice distortions of CMR LSMO thin films were obtained on various substrates. We have shown that the magnetic pattern recorded by MFM traduces the magnetic anisotropy of the film, i.e. M in or out-of plane. Moreover, the observation of spontaneous “bubble magnetic” domains, at room temperature and without external field, in the case of LAO substrates open a potential application of these CMR materials for high density recording and magnetic bubble memories.REFERENCES1R. von Helmot, J.
