Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled STUDY OF EPITAXIAL THIN FILMS OF YBa Cu O ON 2 3 7-δ SILICON WITH DIFFERENT BUFFER LAYERS submitted by Fu Engang for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in August 2005 Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor in the microelectronic industry. Highly epitaxial thin films of YBa Cu O (YBCO) grown on Si wafers are of 2 3 7-δ special interest for development of superconductor/semiconductor hybrid microelectronic devices and circuits. However, severe interaction between Si and YBCO layer, large mismatch in their lattice constant, and strain due to different thermal expansion often degrade the crystallinity and superconductivity of the grown YBCO layers. In this study, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and Eu CuO (ECO) 2 4 were introduced as double buffer layers to improve the growth and properties of the YBCO thin films grown on silicon. Preparation and characterization of epitaxial YBCO/ECO/YSZ/Si multilayer structures were studied. YBCO thin films and the double buffer layers of ECO/YSZ were deposited on the silicon (100) substrate by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. Firstly, the YSZ thin layer was grown epitaxially on silicon (100) substrate to separate YBCO from the Si substrate. Effects of substrate temperature and operating gas pressure on the structure and surface roughness of YSZ thin film were examined and the optimum deposition parameters were determined based on experimental results and comprehensive analysis. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and rocking curve revealed an epitaxial growth with a perfect c-axis orientation. The YSZ thin films grown on silicon substrate have smooth surface, providing a base on which ECO and YBCO thin film can be grown epitaxially. To further improve the quality of YBCO films, an additional layer of ECO with very stable 214-T' crystal structure was inserted between YBCO and YSZ/Si. The influence of substrate temperature and oxygen gas pressure on the properties of ECO thin films grown on YSZ/Si were experimentally analyzed and the growth conditions were optimized. Finally, the epitaxial YBCO thin films were grown on silicon substrate with double buffer layers of ECO/YSZ. The influences of substrate temperature, oxygen gas pressure and different buffer layers on the properties of YBCO thin films were studied. It was found that the crystal structure, surface roughness and superconductivity of YBCO films could be significantly improved by adding such a double buffer of ECO/YSZ. The quality of the YBCO thin films has been significantly enhanced when compared with that grown on Si with a single YSZ buffer layer and with double buffer layers of Nd CuO (NCO)/YSZ. Such highly 2 4 epitaxial thin films of YBCO grown on silicon should be of great interest for various applications including high-frequency elements, millimeter-wave receivers, and superconducting quantum interference devices.

Book Description
Epitaxial thin films and heterostructures based on perovskite oxides have attracted significant attention in physics since perovskites exhibit an enormous range of electrical, magnetic, and optical properties, making them exciting systems for studies of the fundamental physical mechanisms of interactions between electron, lattice, and spin degrees of freedom. This dissertation has been focused on ferroelectricity in low-dimensional ferroelectric materials using ultra-thin ferroelectric epitaxial films (BaTiO3) with a metallic electrode (SrRuO3) by studying polarized ordering of the crystal structure and electronic transport through the films. High quality and highly oxidized epitaxial films are a prerequisite for the clear observation of physical properties such as ferroelectricity which depends on a sensitive balance of lattice structure, dynamics, and charge distribution. Measurements in low dimensional, ultra-thin films require a controlled surface status through in-situ characterization. As is demonstrated here, fundamental physical phenomena on surfaces and in ultra-thin films are easily modified due to reactivity in ambient air, even for oxide materials generally considered inert. This study is centered on in-situ low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling spectroscopy of BaTiO3 films grown on SrRuO3 electrodes on a SrTiO3 substrate. Results show out-of-plane polarized structure and polarization switching, which provide evidence of ferroelectricity in films down to 4 ML. Surface reconstruction in 1-2 ML thick BaTiO3 films is seriously affected by the interface between BaTiO3 films and SrRuO3 bottom electrode. Our observation in epitaxial BaTiO3 films indicates the existence of ferroelectricity with a lower limit (4 ML) for the minimum thickness than theoretical expectation (6 ML), which results from the difference of film stress, termination on films, and depolarizing screening.
