AbstractThe deposition technologies of rare-earth substituted yttrium iron garnet (RE:YIG) thin films with a large Faraday rotation and their applications are briefly overviewed. Highly cerium substituted YIG films were successfully deposited on (111) GGG, (211) GGG, (100) MgO, and MgO buffered GaAs and InP substrates by single-liquid-source metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Ce-YIG thin films can be epitaxially grown on lattice matched GGG substrates at a temperature as low as 600°C. They have excellent optical and magnetic properties along with high Faraday rotations. The films deposited on single crystal (100) MgO substrates are polycrystalline and have good magnetic properties. Sputter deposited MgO buffer layer was demonstrated for preventing the decomposition and chemical reaction of GaAs and LnP substrates resulting in successful deposition of YIG films on GaAs and InP substrates at a substrate temperature of 550°C. The films grown on MgO buffered GaAs substrates possessed good magnetic properties.

ABSTRACTMetalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) was used to deposit epitaxial BaTiO3 thin films on (100) MgO substrates at 600°C. The metalorganic precursors employed in the deposition experiments were hydrated Ba(thd)2 (thd = C11H19O2) and titanium isopropoxide. The films were analyzed by means of transmittance spectroscopy, wavelength dispersive x-ray spectrometry, secondary ion mass spectrometry depth profiling, x-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, nanoscale energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry and second harmonic generation measurements. There was no evidence for interdiffusion between the film and substrate. The x-ray and electron diffraction studies showed that the films were oriented with the a-axis normal to the substrate surface, whereas second harmonic generation measurements showed that the films had some c-axis character.
