Abstract Scope |
Materials with thermal stability that can establish a stable contact for component layers are highly desirable for the design and development of advanced high power electronic device technologies. In this context, the present study investigates the effect of processing parameters on the physical and chemical properties of rarely investigated Mo-Ga alloy system. Mo-Ga films were fabricated on Si (100) substrates by sputter-deposition. The deposition temperature was varied in the range of 25-700oC. X-ray diffraction analysis of the deposited samples indicate the realization of nanocrystalline films at 500oC, and beyond 500oC deterioration in crystallinity was noticed. Chemical analyses indicate the formation of non-stoichiometric films at higher deposition temperature (>500oC). The optical and electrical properties of the deposited Mo-Ga films corroborates with structural features. The results will be presented and discussed to establish the structure-composition-property correlation in sputter-deposited Mo-Ga films. |
