    Cette thèse a pour thème l'étude expérimentale et la modélisation du dépôt de films minces de Ti-Si-N par pulvérisation réactive r.f. magnétron. Ces couches minces sont élaborées par pulvérisation d'une cible de Ti5Si3 dans un mélange réactif argon/azote. L'objectif de cette étude est de caractériser à la fois le plasma, la pulvérisation et les films minces afin de déterminer l'influence de la puissance rf et du pourcentage d'azote dans le mélange sur la structure et les propriétés des films de Ti-Si-N. Enfin, on étudie les propriétés de barrière à la diffusion du cuivre de ces films minces de Ti-Si-N pour des applications microélectronique.NANTES-BU Sciences (441092104) / SudocSudocFranceF

    International audienceThe effect of surface chemistry of reactive sputtered TiN electrodes in the electrochemical capacitors (ECs) was investigated. The TiN films were produced on vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed surface defects generation with no effect on morphology. Cyclic voltammetry experiments were performed in aqueous 0.5 M K2SO4 solution and 1 M Et4NBF4 ((tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate)) organic electrolyte. The presence of oxygen vacancies and Ti interstitials on the top surface layer lead to enhanced electrochemical capacitive charge storage. Such findings open the way to design nitride films with optimized surface chemistry for use in the ECs

    New chemical sensors are developed for suitable applications in biochemistry and biology, especially for the easy measurement of low concentrations of chemical and biological elements in liquid media. Robust devices, able to detect a small charge variation, can be associated with nanomaterials on the active surface of the sensor. Sensors based on microelectronic technologies and having high sensitivities due to their specific Dual Gate structure are shown. We demonstrate that, under optimum polarization conditions, the sensor exhibits a high sensitivity for pH variations. The integration of several types of nanomaterials on the active surface of the microsensors is also demonstrated and validated for further biological detection
