Ls. Hung et La. Bosworth, MULTILAYER STRUCTURE FOR EPITAXIAL-GROWTH OF OXIDE-FILMS ON SI WITH AN UNDERLYING ELECTRODE, Applied physics letters, 62(21), 1993, pp. 2625-2627
Multilayers of CaF2, Pd, and Pt were epitaxially grown on HF treated (
100)Si by sequential deposition of the desired materials in ultrahigh
vacuum. This structure is suitable for epitaxial growth of oxide films
on Si with an underlying electrode. The epitaxial layer CaF2 effectiv
ely acts as a barrier to impede metal-substrate reaction, and the meta
l bilayer Pd/Pt forms an epitaxial electrode with good adhesion to the
underlying substrate and high resistance to oxidation. KNbO3 deposite
d on this multilayer structure showed epitaxial growth in a mixed (001
)/(110) orientation.
