Jf. Kang et al., EPITAXIAL-GROWTH OF CEO2(1 0 0) FILMS ON SI(1 0 0) SUBSTRATES BY DUAL-ION BEAMS REACTIVE SPUTTERING, Solid state communications, 108(4), 1998, pp. 225-227
The epitaxial growth of CeO2(100) films on (100) silicon substrates by
dual ion beams sputtering was studied. The measurements of X-ray thet
a-2 theta pattern, phi-scan and rocking curve indicated that the CeO2
films had good epitaxial characteristics with (100) orientation. The e
xperiments showed that the substrate temperature had only a weak influ
ence on the orientation in a wide temperature range. In contrast to th
is, the oxygen pressure during the deposition had a strong influence o
n the growth. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
