Characterization of N Rich-Silicon Nitride Thin Films Deposited by PECVD
(Electrochemical Soc inc, 2023) Guler, I.; Güler, İpek; 101531
Silicon nitride thin films are very important for their possible use in semiconductor industry and electronic applications. Changing the deposition parameters, silicon nitrides which have many varying optical properties can be produced. In this work, silicon nitride (SiNx) thin films were deposited on silicon substrates using Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique. The silane (SiH4) and ammonia (NH3) were used as reactant gases. Using these reactant gases, nitrogen (N) rich SiNx films were obtained. In order to get information about absorption and bond types in the films, films were analyzed by the help of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was performed. The refractive index, extinction coefficient and band gap energy of the films were changed from 1.86, 0 and 5.38 eV to 2.05, 0.0048 and 4.26 eV, respectively. Using the refractive index, composition of the films were estimated that is [N]/[Si] ratio of the films varied from 1.38 to 1.62. For possible applications of the SiNx films, learning the origin of the light-emission of the films is very important so the photoluminescence (PL) measurements were also used to see the luminescent of the SiNx films which is related to the electronic transitions between the K-center level and the conduction band tail states.

Optical and photoelectrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018) Guler, I.; Güler, İpek; Gasanly, N.; 101531
Optical and electrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission, reflection and photoconductivity measurements. Transmission and reflection experiments have been carried out from 540 to 1000 nm at room temperature. Derivative analysis was applied to both transmission and reflection spectra and indirect band gap energy was found as 2.06 eV. Photoconductivity measurements have been performed in the temperature range from 245 to 300 K and in the voltage range from 10 to 80 V. From the temperature-dependent photoconductivity measurements, the observed single peak shifted to higher wavelengths with increase of temperature. The increase of photoconductivity with temperature is due to the increase in the mobility of photocarriers that can be explained by Bube model. From X112 method, room temperature indirect band gap of the crystal was also found as 2.06 eV. From voltage-dependent photoconductivity measurements, the peak maximum increased linearly with increase of voltage because of increase of the mobility of charge carriers. Dark current-voltage characteristic of TlInSSe crystal showed the ohmic behavior that means space charge limited current did not exist in the crystal. From the photocurrent with different illumination intensity analysis, the supralinear photoconductivity associated with the two center model was found. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Thermoluminescence in gallium sesquisulfide single crystals: usual and unusual heating rate dependencies
(2018) Guler, I.; Isik, M.; Gasanova, L.; Mahammadov, A.; Gasanly, N.
Thermoluminescence (TL) experiments were conducted for Ga2S3 crystals to obtain information about trapping parameters. TL measurements were performed from 10 to 300 K with varying heating rates in the range of 0.2–0.8 K/s. Two TL glow peaks centered at 44 K (peak A) and 91 K (peak B) were observed at heating rate of β = 0.5 K/s. For peak A, TL intensity decreased whereas that for peak B increased with elevating the heating rates that means anomalous heating rate occurred for peak B. TL glow curves were analyzed using initial rise method to find activation energies of traps. Distribution of trap centers was investigated using Tmax − Tstop method. Quasi-continuous distributions with increasing activation energies from 40 to 135 meV and 193 to 460 meV were attributed to trap centers A and B, respectively.
