ABSTRACTMgO thin films were deposited on amorphous substrates using ion-beam assisted pulsed laser deposition. The texture formation was investigated in-situ with RHEED. The microstructure of the films was observed by AFM. Using an ion beam at an angle of 55° with respect to the substrate normal, strong nucleation textures develop. Above 250°C a cube texture is observed in films thinner than 10 nm. During further growth this nucleation texture changes in a way that the <200> direction becomes parallel to the ion beam. This change can be explained by the anisotropic sputter rate of MgO found in sputter experiments on single crystals. Moreover, MgO films were deposited homoepitaxially on MgO single crystals above 250°C with internal stresses dreasing with increasing deposition temperature. This result gives rise to hope that homoepitaxial growth of MgO on the nucleation layer without ion-beam assistance should be possible in future PLD-experiments keeping the desired cube texture in thicker films.

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.
