研究目的
Investigating the effects of vacuum annealing conditions on the properties of sputtered BaSi2 thin films for high-efficient solar cell applications.
研究成果
Vacuum annealing effectively suppresses Ba diffusion and ensures a stoichiometric BaSi2 layer, but surface oxidation remains a challenge. Higher annealing temperatures improve crystalline quality and reduce defects, suggesting potential for optimizing BaSi2 films for solar cell applications.
研究不足
Surface oxidation still occurs during vacuum annealing due to the high reactivity of Ba, which could not be completely prevented even in high vacuum conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
BaSi2 films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and subsequently annealed in a high-vacuum environment. Raman spectroscopy and Auger Electron spectroscopy were used for characterization.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
BaSi2 films were deposited on substrates and annealed at temperatures ranging from 550 to 630 ℃.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
RF magnetron sputtering setup (Kurt J. Lesker), Renishaw InViaTM confocal Raman microscope, Jeol JAMP 9510-F Auger Microprobe, Perkin Elmer Lambda 950 UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Films were annealed in vacuum for 30 min at various temperatures. Raman spectra and elemental depth profiles were measured.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Raman spectra were analyzed for crystalline quality, and Auger Electron spectroscopy was used for elemental composition analysis.
