AbstractEpitaxial growth of ferroelectric thin films on GaAs (100) by pulsed laser deposition was examined for integrated electro-optic device applications. To promote epitaxy of ferroelectrics and prevent interdiffusion, we have deposited several types of buffer layers. CeO2 reacted strongly with GaAs. Although Y203 9% stabilized-ZrO2 films showed epitaxial growth, YSZ reacted with GaAs at 780°C. MgO grew epitaxially and was stable even at 780°C. HRTEM observation showed a sharp interface between MgO and GaAs. BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 deposited on MgO/GaAs structures showed epitaxial growth. In-plane orientation was BaTiO3 [100 // MgO [100] // GaAs [100]. Epitaxial BaTiO3 films were c-axis oriented tetragonal phase and showed ferroelectric hysteresis.

Alumina is a widely used ceramic material due to its high hardness, wear resistance and dielectric properties. The study of phase transformation and its correlation to the mechanical properties of alumina is essential. In this study, interfacial adhesion properties of alumina thin films are studied using cross-sectional nanoindentation (CSN) technique. Alumina thin films are deposited at 200 and 700 °C, on Si (100) substrates with a weak Silica interface, using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process. Effect of annealing on the surface morphology of the thin films is studied using atomic force microscopy. Xray diffraction studies revealed that alumina thin films are amorphous in nature at 200 °C and polycrystalline with predominant gamma alumina phase at 700 °C.

An effective way to prepare a robust CuInSe2 (CIS) target for subsequent vapor depositions of thin films is suggested in this work. The technique involves addition of excess Se to presynthesized CIS powder followed by cold pressing and sintering at a temperature as low as 300 °C. Phase-pure chalcopyrite CIS films were prepared at a substrate temperature of 300 °C from targets that contained different amounts of excess Se. The average size of particulates, typical of the pulsed laser deposition process, and their surface coverage decreased with increasing Se content up to 50 wt% in the targets. Films grown from the target with 50 wt% excess Se exhibited a hole concentration of ˜3 × 1019 cm−3 and a Hall mobility of ˜2 cm2/Vs. With the decrease of substrate temperature to room temperature, the resistivity increased from 1.1 × 10−1 to ˜7.5 × 108 Ω·cm, which is attributed to the potential contributions of Se interstitials, CuIn, and VIn defects.

AbstractIn the context of “chemistry and its effects on film quality,” we and a number of other research groups have developed spectroscopic and modeling approaches to better define the pulsed laser deposition process. An overview of these approaches is given here, using the results of recent work performed in our laboratory on the oxide dielectric systems of BaTiO3 and PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3(PZT).
