SrTiO3 Thin Films Deposition Using Pulsed Laser Deposition Technique

Abstract:

Article Preview

Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) thin film has been deposited on Si (100) substrate using pulsed laser deposition technique. Film deposition was carried out at low temperature (150°C) by maintained the pressure at 10-4 Torr. Nanometer-thick SrTiO3 film on Si substrate was characterized using SEM, AFM, XRD, and Raman Spectroscopy. SEM and AFM images show that SrTiO3 film has growth on Si substrate uniformly. Raman and XRD spectroscopy also support the growth of SrTiO3 film on Si substrate. Furthermore, to investigate the effect of post-deposition thermal annealing, the samples were annealed up to 900°C. Thermal stability of SrTiO3/Si structure was studied by mean XRD spectra. The X-Ray Diffraction pattern indicates the crystallinity improvement through atomic arrangements during thermal annealing process.
