ABSTRACTFerroelectric oxide films have been studied for their potential application as integrated optical materials and nonvolatile memories. Electro-optic properties of potassium niobate (KNbO3) thin films have been measured and the results correlated to the microstructures observed. The growth parameters necessary to obtain single phase perovskite lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films are discussed. Hysteresis and fatigue measurements of the PZT films were performed to determine their characteristics for potential memory devices.

AbstractAmorphous silicon (a-Si) films prepared on oxidized silicon wafer were crystallized to a highly textured form using contact printing of rolled and annealed nickel tapes. Crystallization was achieved by first annealing the a-Si film in contact with patterned Ni tape at 600°C for 20 min in a flowing forming gas (90 % N2, 10 % H2) environment, then removing the Ni tape and further annealing the a-Si film in vacuum for2hrsat600°C. An array of crystalline regions with diameters of up to 20 μm could be formed. Electron microscopy indicates that the regions are essentially single-crystalline except for the presence of twins and/or type A-B formations, and that all regions have the same orientation in all 3 directions even when separated by more than hundreds of microns. High resolution TEM analysis shows that formation of such orientation-controlled, nearly single crystalline regions is due to formation of nearly single crystalline NiSi2 under the point of contact, which then acts as the template for silicide-induced lateral crystallization. Furthermore, the orientation relationship between Si grains and Ni tape is observed to be Si (110) || Ni (001)

Solid phase growth of thin films of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al) and zinc oxide (ZnO) on single crystalline sapphire and quartz glass substrates were tried by heat-treatments and their crystallization conditions were investigated. ZnO thin films relatively easily recrystallized even when they were deposited on the amorphous quartz glass substrate. On the other hand, Cu and Al thin films hardly recrystallized when they were deposited on the quartz glass substrate. The metal thin films could be recrystallized at only extremely narrow windows of the heat-treatment conditions when they were deposited on the single crystalline sapphire substrate. The window of the solid phase heteroepitaxial growth condition of the Al film was wider than that of the Cu film.
