Semiconductor devices production on silicon
Ježek, Vladimír ; Mikulík, Petr (referee) ; Špinka, Jiří (advisor)
This work deals with the basic technologies and processes of manufacturing semiconductor devices on a silicon substrate. Deals with the processes from creating a layer of silicon dioxide by oxidation, through the creation of structures using photolithography, the doping of additives into defined areas of diffusion, up to creating contacts and conductive pathways by sputtering. It also deals with the technological production process for silicon devices, description of devices and measurement, calculation layers of silicon dioxide, calculated of diffusion and measured characteristics of components and their evaluation.

Application onf the Focused Ion on Electron Beam in Nanotechnologies
Šamořil, Tomáš ; Mikulík, Petr (referee) ; Jiruše, Jaroslav (referee) ; Šikola, Tomáš (advisor)
Nowadays, the systems that allow simultaneous employment of both focused electron and ion beams are very important tools in the field of micro- and nanotechnology. In addition to imaging and analysis, they can be used for lithography, which is applied for preparation of structures with required shapes and dimensions at the micrometer and nanometer scale. The first part of the thesis deals with one lithographic method – focused electron or ion beam induced deposition, for which a suitable adjustment of exposition parameters is searched and quality of deposited metal structures in terms of shape and elemental composition studied. Subsequently, attention is paid also to other types of lithographic methods (electron or ion beam lithography), which are applied in preparation of etching masks for the subsequent selective wet etching of silicon single crystals. In addition to optimization of mentioned techniques, the application of etched silicon surfaces for, e.g., selective growth of metal structures has been studied. The last part of the thesis is focused on functional properties of selected 2D or 3D structures.

Microdefects in Czochralski Silicon
Válek, Lukáš ; Fejfar, Antonín (referee) ; Mikulík, Petr (referee) ; Spousta, Jiří (advisor)
Disertační práce se zabývá studiem defektů v monokrystalech Czochralskiho křemíku legovaných bórem. Práce studuje vznik kruhových obrazců vrstevných chyb pozorovaných na povrchu křemíkových desek po oxidaci. Hlavním cílem práce je objasnit mechanismy vzniku pozorovaného rozložení vrstevných chyb na studovaných deskách a vyvinout metody pro řízení tohoto jevu. Na základě experimentálních analýz a rozborů obecných mechanismů vzniku defektů jsou objasňovány vazby mezi vznikem defektů různého typu. Tyto jsou pak diskutovány v souvislosti s parametry krystalu i procesu jeho růstu. Takto sestavený model je využit pro vývoj procesu růstu krystalů, kterým je potlačen nadměrný vznik defektů ve studovaných deskách. Za účelem studia defektů jsou zaváděny a vyvíjeny nové analytické metody. Disertační práce byla vytvořena za podpory ON Semiconductor Czech Republic, Rožnov pod Radhoštěm.

Characterization of structures fabricated by selective wet etching of silicon
Metelka, Ondřej ; Mikulík, Petr (referee) ; Šamořil, Tomáš (advisor)
The task of master’s thesis was to perform optimalization process for preparing metal etching mask by electron beam litography and subsequent selective wet ething of silicon with crystalographic orientation (100). Further characterization of etched surface and fabricated structures was performed. In particular, attention was given to the morphology demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy and study changes of the optical properties of gold plasmonic antennas due to their undercut.

Profiling of N-Type Dopants in Silicon Based Structures
Hovorka, Miloš ; Mika, Filip ; Frank, Luděk ; Mikulík, P.
We have focused on variously doped n-type pattems on a lightly doped p-type substrate because of lack of data for these structures. We have designed and prepared planar structures of this kind at the university clean room. Combination of the UHV SEM and PEEM microscooes should facilitate possible quantifying of the the doping levels in the n-type areas and explanation of their contrast with respect to the p-type substrate. In addition to the SEM observations at very low energies (down to the units of eV), we performed the laterally resolved threshold and soft X-ray spectroscopies in a PEEM equipped with an energy filter.
