ABSTRACTWe report the epitaxial growth of γ-Al2O3 on SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The ALD growth of γ-Al2O3 on STO(001) single crystal substrates was performed at a temperature of 345 °C. Trimethylaluminum and water were used as co-reactants. In-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction and ex-situ x-ray diffraction were used to determine the crystallinity of the Al2O3 films. In-situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterize the Al2O3/STO heterointerface. The formation of a Ti3+ feature is observed in the Ti 2p spectrum of STO after the first few ALD cycles of Al2O3 and even after exposure of the STO substrate to trimethylaluminum alone at 345 °C. The presence of a Ti3+ feature is a direct indication of oxygen vacancies at the Al2O3/STO heterointerface, which provide the carriers for the quasi-two dimensional electron gas at the interface.

ABSTRACTThe atomic layer deposition (ALD) of SrO was conducted on various oxide surfaces by using strontium bis(tri-isopropylcyclopentadienyl) and water at deposition temperatures of 200 and 250°C. The initial and steady growth behaviors were studied by in-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry and ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. For initial growth, the growth per cycle (GPC) of SrO not only depends on the concentration of hydroxyl groups but also the formation of interfacial Sr-O-Si bonds. For the steady growth, in-situ annealing was used to enhance the growth rate and multiple growth regions were identified.

Sequentially pulsed chemical vapour deposition was used to successfully deposit thin nanocrystalline films of copper(I) chloride using an atomic layer deposition system in order to investigate their application to UV optoelectronics. The films were deposited at 125 °C using [Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene](hexafluoroacetylacetonato)copper(I) as a Cu precursor and pyridine hydrochloride as a new Cl precursor. The films were analysed by XRD, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SEM, photoluminescence, and spectroscopic reflectance. Capping layers of aluminium oxide were deposited in situ by ALD (atomic layer deposition) to avoid environmental degradation. The film adopted a polycrystalline zinc blende-structure. The main contaminants were found to be organic materials from the precursor. Photoluminescence showed the characteristic free and bound exciton emissions from CuCl and the characteristic exciton absorption peaks could also be detected by reflectance measurements.
