Effect of Precursor Supply on (100) and (001) Orientations of α-Al2O3 Film Prepared by Laser CVD

Article Preview

Abstract:

Α-Al2O3 Films Were Prepared by Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition and the Effects of Precursor Evaporation Temperature (Tvap) and Oxygen Gas Flow Rate (FRo) on Phase and Orientation of Al2o3 Films Were Investigated. at Tvap = 413 K, (100)-Oriented α-Al2O3 and θ-Al2O3 Were Codeposited. the Amount of θ-Al2O3 Increased with Increasing FRo. at Tvap = 433–443 K, α-Al2O3 Films Showed a (001) Orientation. (100)- and (001)-Oriented α-Al2O3 Films Had a Rectangular- and Hexagonal-Shaped Grains, Respectively, and Showed a Columnar in Cross Section. Grain Size of (100)- and (001)-Oriented α-Al2O3 Films Decreased from 10 to 2 μm with Increasing FRo from 0.085 to 0.85 Pa m3 s−1. Deposition Rate Increased from 100 to 300 μm h−1 with Increasing Tvap from 413 to 443 K.
