Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a relatively new technique for producing thin films. It presents unique advantages for the deposition of bioactive ceramics. The mechanism and characteristics of the technique PLD are introduced. Its applications and current research status in hydroxyapatite and bioglass thin films are reviewed. The effect of processing parameters of PLD, including atmosphere, substrate temperature, laser wavelength and target properties, on the structures and the properties of the hydroxyapatite film, is analyzed in detail. Future application trends are also analyzed.

ABSTRACTUsing pulsed laser deposition, Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were grown on (0001) and (1102) surfaces of Al2O3. Substrate temperature from 700 to 800 °C and oxygen pressure from 50 to 1000 mtorr were varied, and their effects on Bi4Ti3O12 film growth behavior was investigated. Only for a narrow range of deposition parameters, can highly oriented Bi4Ti3O12(104) films be grown on Al2O3(0001). Further, epitaxial BTO(004) films can be grown on Al2O3(1102). The growth behavior of preferential BTO film orientations can be explained in terms of atomic arrangements in the Bi4Ti3O12 and the Al2O3 planes.

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD), which is a novel technique in producing thin films in the recent years, shows unique advantages for the deposition of bioactive films. Research states of the technical parameters of the pulsed laser deposited bioactive films, including substrate temperature, atmosphere pressure, energy density, wavelength, post-annealing, target, deposition rate, and thickness of the films, are systematically reviewed. Processing-microstructure-property relationships of bioactive films by pulsed laser deposition are discussed. The application prospect is pointed as well.

Polycrystalline Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films with a thickness of 1300 Å were grown on Corning 1737 glass by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at a low substrate temperature. The presence of oxygen gas during deposition led to a remarkable enhancement of the (002) c-axis preferential orientation as well as increased crystallite size. Highly transparent films with a transmittance of 85% could be obtained by controlling the oxygen flow rate, while causing a Burstein-Moss shift toward a shorter wavelength as well. The resistivities of the films were found to be functions of both the oxygen flow rate and substrate temperature, with the lowest value being 2.3 x 10-4 Ωcm (18Ω/sq sheet resistance). It was found that both the oxygen flow rate and substrate temperature are crucial in order to grow superior device quality films with an appropriate degree of crystallinity, less surface roughness, high transmittance and low resistivity, which are characteristics of great technological importance.
