This paper reports on a significant further improvement of the high temperature stability of RuAl thin films (110 nm) on the piezoelectric Ca 3 TaGa 3 Si 2 O 14 (CTGS) and La 3 Ga 5 SiO 14 (LGS) substrates. RuAl thin films with AlN or SiO 2 cover layers and barriers to the substrate (each 20 nm), as well as a combination of both were prepared on thermally oxidized Si substrates, which serve as a reference for fundamental studies, and the piezoelectric CTGS, as well as LGS substrates. In some films, additional Al layers were added. To study their high temperature stability, the samples were annealed in air and in high vacuum up to 900 °C, and subsequently their cross-sections, phase formation, film chemistry, and electrical resistivity were analyzed. It was shown that on thermally oxidized Si substrates, all films were stable after annealing in air up to 800 °C and in high vacuum up to 900 °C. The high temperature stability of RuAl thin films on CTGS substrates was improved up to 900 °C in high vacuum by the application of a combined AlN/SiO 2 barrier layer and up to 800 °C in air using a SiO 2 barrier. On LGS, the films were only stable up to 600 °C in air; however, a single SiO 2 barrier layer was sufficient to prevent oxidation during annealing at 900 °C in high vacuum.

ABSTRACT:: High temperature (950°C) annealing is used to stimulate relaxation in UHV/CVD SiGe thin films. It is found that the films are stable to thicknesses which exceed the stability criterion of Matthews and Blakeslee [1] by a small amount. In unstable films, the misfit dislocation density increases with annealing time, reaching a maximum value. For films which exceed the empirical stability criterion by a relatively small amount, the misfit dislocations relax the film to a strain given by the film thickness and the empirical stability criterion. However, large remnant strains are observed when the relaxation process introduces relatively high dislocation densities (≳5 misfits/micron). Associated with large remnant strains are a marked propensity for dislocation banding and looping deep into the substrate with extended annealing. These results are discussed with respect to the magnitude of the misfit dislocation nucleation barrier and the energy associated with interactions among misfit dislocations.

Lead titanate thin films were obtained by plasma-enhanced magnetron sputtering. Synthesized films demonstrate high temperature stability, relatively narrow maximum at temperature of phase transition for ε (T ) dependence, great dielectric constant value near the Curie point, saturated hysteresis loops, and relaxation character for dispersion of dielectric permittivity similar to bulk samples.
