摘要: Ultrathin InSb thin films on SiO2/Si substrates are prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 300, 400, and 500℃, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that InSb film treated by RTA at 500℃, which is higher than its melting temperature (about 485℃), shows a monocrystalline-like feature. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) micrograph shows that melt recrystallization of InSb film on SiO2/Si(111) substrate is along the (111) planes. The transmittances of InSb films decrease and the optical band gaps redshift from 0.24 eV to 0.19 eV with annealing temperature increasing from 300℃ to 500℃, which is indicated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurement. The observed changes demonstrate that RAT is a viable technique for improving characteristics of InSb films, especially the melt-recrystallized film treated by RTA at 500℃.
