Sc. Hwang et al., CRYSTALLINE-STRUCTURE OF YSZ THIN-FILMS DEPOSITED ON SI(111) SUBSTRATE BY CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION, The Korean journal of chemical engineering, 15(3), 1998, pp. 243-245
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films were formed on Si(lll) sub
strate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a temperature range of 65
0-800 degrees C using beta-diketone metal chelates. The scanning elect
ron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data evidenced that Y
SZ thin films have a smooth surface with fine grains and crystalline s
tructure, respectively. The crystalline structure of YSZ films was aff
ected by the deposition temperature. The X-ray photoelectron spectrosc
opy (XPS) data indicated that the YSZ film grows thick enough to preve
nt the diffusion of Si.
