Nanostructures in the form of thin films exhibiting the semiconductor prop-
erties with a narrow energy-band gap are deposited from the CrSi2 and -
FeSi2 targets by means of the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) assisted with an
excimer KrF laser. The films deposited from CrSi2 target on the 100Si sub-
strate at 293 K and 740 K manifest the band gaps Eg 0.09 eV and 0.18 eV,
respectively. The films deposited from -FeSi2 target on the 100Si substrate
at the same conditions manifest the band gaps Eg 0.16 eV and 0.31 eV, re-
spectively. The upper-range value of thermoelectromotive force coefficient
(Seebeck coefficient), S, for the CrSi2-based films deposited on heated sub-
strate at 740 K is about 1.4 mV/K at 300 KT340 K. The largest S coeffi-
cient for the -FeSi2-based films deposited on heated substrate too is about
1.5 mV/K within the same temperature range. With the higher Eg, the higher
S coefficient is obtained. The XRD analysis reveals that films deposited on
the Si substrates have a polycrystalline structure, and films deposited on the
SiO2 substrates are amorphous. As regards the S coefficient for films depos-
ited on the Si and SiO2 substrates, this coefficient is higher for polycrystal-
line films than for amorphous deposits. The larger the semiconductor-phase
concentration in the deposited films, the higher the S coefficient. So, the
PLD based on an excimer KrF laser is an effective method for the deposition
of nanostructures in the form of thin films, which are quite suitable for
thermal sensors operating at moderate temperatures.

SiO2-підложжя, то він виявився більшим для полікристалічних плівок,
аніж для аморфних. Таким чином, PLD-метод із використанням ексимер-

для аморфных. Чем больше концентрация полупроводниковой фазы в

1. INTRODUCTION
One of the most important parameters for thermosensors is the ther-
moelectromotive force coefficient (Seebeck coefficient, S). Thermoe-
PULSED LASER DEPOSITION OF THIN Fe AND Cr SILICIDE FILMS 625
lectric converters based on silicides of transitional metals are up-to-
date materials owing to their narrow band gap result in a large thermo-
electromotive force (e.m.f.) coefficient, S. Chromium silicide (CrSi2)
and iron silicide (-FeSi2) in bulk single crystalline form are semicon-
ductors with the band gaps Eg 0.35 eV and 0.85 eV, respectively [1–
3]. In general, chromium and iron silicides are attractive materials be-
cause of their semiconducting, electrochromic and photochromic prop-
erties [4]. However, the electrical properties of CrSi2 depend strongly
on the film deposition method and on its stoichiometry (Cr:Si) [5]. The
thermoelectric conversion properties of these silicides deposited in the
form of thin films and layers depend on Eg. In turn, the value of Eg de-
pends on the structure of the deposited materials: amorphous or poly-
crystalline. The aim of this work is to study chromium and iron silicide
thin films’ characteristics, which depend on their nature and tempera-
ture. These thin films are suitable structure for the fabrication of
thermosensors operating at moderate temperature. The pulsed laser
deposition (PLD) method was used, since it allows a very efficient fab-
rication of films from compound materials.
2. EXPERIMENTAL
Film depositions were performed in a stainless-steel chamber, evacuat-
ed down to 10
5
Pa. Pure CrSi2 and β-FeSi2 monocrystalline targets were
ablated with an excimer KrF laser pulses (248 nm; p 20 ns) at a
fluence F 5.5 J/cm2
and repetition rate of 10 Hz. The target was ro-
tated at 3 Hz to obtain a smooth ablation procedure. Before each deposi-
tion, the target surface was cleaned using 600 laser pulses, with a shut-
ter shielding the substrate. The ablated material was collected on
100Si or SiO2 substrates, either at room temperature (RT) or heated to
740 K. Film deposition on heated substrate was carried out at 5000
pulses and while film deposition on the substrate at RT the number of
laser pulses (N) was 6500. Such conditions were used to obtain 40 nm
film thicknesses. Optical measurements were carried out to find out the
real part of the dielectric constant (10) of the deposited films with
ellipsometry and prove the existence of a semiconductor phase in these
deposits [6]. The direct current (DC) electrical resistance of Si samples
with the deposited films was measured by using a two-probe technique
in the range 340–78 К. An indium or silver coating formed ohmic con-
tacts. Electrical resistance was measured in plane of the deposited film.
The substrate temperature was measured by thermocouple. Tempera-
ture dependences of specific conductivity () were evaluated from
measurements of the electrical resistance of the samples as a function
of temperature and film geometry. Film thickness was measured with
Dectak-3080 profilemeter or by RUMP simulation of experimental
Rutherford backscattering (RBS) spectra [7]. The crystalline structure
626 S. A. MULENKO
of deposited films was studied with X-ray diffractometer (XRD) ‘Stoe’
at 45 kV and 33 mA (CuK radiation). The DC electrical resistance of
deposited films was measured by two-probe technique. Ohmic contacts
were made from indium or silver coatings. Temperature dependence of
the electrical resistance, specific conductivity () of the deposited
films, the S coefficient were measured in the range 78–340 K with a
high resistance multimeter. The heating temperature and its difference
between the two ends of the substrate were measured by two thermo-
couples. Calculations of the specific conductivity were performed tak-
ing into account the geometrical shape of Si and SiO2 substrates. The
temperature dependence of the S coefficient was measured after pro-
ducing a thermal gradient along the sample. The value of the S coeffi-
cient was measured from thermoelectromotive force existing between
heated or cooled end of the sample and its end at RT.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Film deposition from CrSi2 target was carried out on both SiO2 and Si
substrates. It is seen for films deposited on the heated Si substrate
(TS 740 K) that a semiconductor trend of these films reveals from 340
down to 227 K, and then a metallic one down to 78 K (Fig. 1, curve 1 and
2). Semiconductor trend of temperature dependences of is evident al-
so for the film deposited from -FeSi2 target on the heated Si substrate
(TS 740 K) and on the Si substrate at RT from 340 to 78 K (Fig. 1,
curve 3 and 4) can be described by the well-known expression [8]

strate display an amorphous structure (Figs. 2, 4). However, deposited
films on Si substrate display a polycrystalline structure (Figs. 3, 5).

The SiO2 native layer on Si substrate is about 3 nm thickness and has no
a significant influence on the growth of deposited film from CrSi2 and
-FeSi2 targets [9]. The optical properties of films deposited from CrSi2
and -FeSi2 targets on SiO2 and Si substrates prove the existence of a
semiconductor phase in these deposits as the real part of the dielectric
constant (10) [6].
The best fitting of the experimental curve of the specific conductivi-
ty for deposited films from CrSi2 target shows a semiconductor trend.
Using the expression (2), one can obtain Eg 0.09 and Eg 0.18 eV for
TS 293 K and 740 K, respectively. The best fitting of the experi-
mental curve of the specific conductivity for deposited films from -
FeSi2 target shows a semiconductor trend too. Using the expression
(2), one can get Eg 0.16 and Eg 0.31 eV for TS293 K and 740 K, re-
spectively (Fig. 1). These energy band gaps were calculated with an er-

ror of 10%.
The highest value of the S coefficient for films deposited from CrSi2
target on Si substrate is 1.4 mV/K at T 340 K (Fig. 6). The highest
value of this coefficient for films deposited from CrSi2 target on SiO2
substrate was about 0.010–0.015 mV/K at 293 KT340 K [6].
The highest value of the S coefficient for films deposited from -
FeSi2 target on Si substrate is 1.5 mV/K at T340 K (Fig. 7). The
highest value of the S coefficient for films deposited from -FeSi2 tar-
get on SiO2 substrate was about 0.008–0.010 mV/K at 295 K T 340
K [6]. Measurement method for the S coefficient provides the uncer-

tainty in determining of its value of no more than 10% in the tempera-
ture range 100 KT340 K.
One can see that, for films deposited from CrSi2 and -FeSi2 targets,
the crystalline structure of the Si substrate promotes the growth of
polycrystalline films, while the amorphous structure of the SiO2 sub-
strate promotes the growth of amorphous films. Deposition of films on
heated substrates results in the formation of films with a higher con-
tent of semiconductor phase: value of Eg is higher for films deposited
on heated substrate. In general, polycrystalline films deposited from
iron silicide target have higher values of Eg than films deposited from
chromium silicide target. This is congruent with the fact that Eg for
bulk single crystalline form -FeSi2 has a higher value (0.85 eV) than
the one for bulk single crystalline form CrSi2 phase (0.35 eV). As re-
gards the S coefficient for films deposited from CrSi2 and -FeSi2 tar-
gets, this coefficient is higher for the polycrystalline film with higher
values of Eg.
The S coefficient is important for studying kinetic phenomena of
charge transfer in materials [10, 11]. To this purpose, it is necessary to
know besides the correlation between the temperature and specific
conductivity, the correlation between the temperature and the S coef-
ficient. If one takes into account the expressions for electron and hole
concentrations in a non-degenerate semiconductor, it is possible to
write the S coefficient in the form [12] as follows:
[2 ln( / )] [2 ln( / )]
,
c n v p
n p
N n n N p pk
S
e n p
(3)
where k is the Boltzmann constant; e is electron charge; n, p are elec-
tron and hole concentrations; Nc, Nv are effective densities of states in
the conduction and valence bands, respectively; and n, p are electron
and hole mobilities, respectively. It is seen that the thermo-e.m.f. coef-
ficient of semiconductor materials depends on impurities of two types
(n and p), which determine their conductive characteristics (3). The S
coefficient is being increased with temperature increasing up to 315 K
and then decreased with temperature increasing up to 340 K for films
deposited from CrSi2 target (Fig. 6). This behaviour can be explained
by the existence of metallic phase in deposited films while this target
ablation. During ablation process of CrSi2 target, the stoichiometry of
this bulk single-crystalline form is being destroyed, resulting in Cr
atomic content in deposited films. Therefore, the value of Eg is de-
creased. The S coefficient is increased with temperature increasing in
the range from 100 K to 340 K for films deposited while -FeSi2 targets
ablation (Fig. 7). During ablation process of -FeSi2 target, the stoichi-
ometry of this bulk single-crystalline form is being destroyed too, re-
sulting in Fe atomic content in deposited films. Nevertheless, in this
PULSED LASER DEPOSITION OF THIN Fe AND Cr SILICIDE FILMS 631
case, Fe atomic content in deposited films is not enough to change the
specific conductivity of deposited films from semiconductor trend to
metallic one while sample cooling. The value of Eg is decreased in this
case too. However, in general, released Cr and Fe create impurity levels
in the forbidden zone of semiconductor films results in decreasing of
energy band gap Eg, which is less than that is for bulk single-
crystalline form. Nanometre film deposition on heated Si substrate re-
sults in increasing of energy band gap Eg in comparison with one depos-
ited on Si substrate at RT as heat energy promotes crystallization pro-
cess of semiconductor phase. As the S coefficient is positive in whole
temperature range, p-type of charge carriers prevails above n-type
ones. Moreover, the increasing the S coefficient for nanometre films is
assigned with increasing of effective density of states in the conduc-
tion and valence bands results in increasing charge-carriers’ gradient
at creation of temperature gradient in nanometre films.
4. CONCLUSIONS
Large S coefficient of thin films deposited from CrSi2 and -FeSi2 tar-
gets by PLD using an excimer KrF laser is obtained. The value of this
coefficient depends on substrate nature and substrate temperature.
The more substrate temperature, the higher value of energy band gap
Eg of nanometre films results in increasing of the S coefficient. There-
fore, the PLD based on an excimer KrF laser is effective method for the
deposition of nanostructures in the form of thin films with large ther-
moelectromotive force coefficient, which are quite suitable for thermal
sensors operating in a wide temperature range. Nanostructures of iron
and chromium silicide films in the form of thin films deposited by PLD
the form of thin films with a narrow energy-band gap (less than 1.0 eV)
can be proposed not only for thermal sensors but for infrared detectors
too.
