Time-dependent second-harmonic generation (TD-SHG) is an emerging sensitive and fast method to qualitatively evaluate the interface quality of the oxide/Si heterostructures, which is closely related to the interfacial electric field. Here, the TD-SHG is used to explore the interface quality of atomic layer deposited HfO2 films on Si substrates. The critical SHG parameters, such as the initial SHG signal and characteristic time constant, are compared with the fixed charge density (Qox) and the interface state density (Dit) extracted from the conventional electrical characterization method. It reveals that the initial SHG signal linearly decreases with the increase in Qox, while Dit is linearly correlated to the characteristic time constant. It verifies that the TD-SHG is a sensitive and fast method, as well as simple and noncontact, for evaluating the interface quality of oxide/Si heterostructures, which may facilitate the in-line semiconductor test.

CrSBr is a recently discovered two-dimensional anti-ferromagnet. It has attracted much attention due to its superior properties for potential optoelectronic and spintronic applications. However, its complex refractive index with layer dependence has not been systematically studied yet. In this work, we studied the room-temperature complex refractive indices of thin CrSBr flakes of different thicknesses in the visible light range. Using micro-reflectance spectroscopy, we measured the optical contrast of thin CrSBr flakes with respect to different substrates. The complex refractive index was extracted by modeling the optical contrast with the Fresnel equations. We extracted the band gap values of CrSBr in the few-layer limit. We determined the band gaps for monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer CrSBr to be 1.88 eV, 1.81 eV, and 1.77 eV, respectively. As a comparison, the band gap for multilayer CrSBr is outside our measured range, that is, below 1.55 eV. Our results suggest that the band gap of CrSBr decreases as thickness increases. Full article
