Preparation of Patterned BiFeO3 Thin Films on the Functional Silicon Substrates Surface

Article Preview

Abstract:

Patterned octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was fabricated on silicon substrates, utilizing short wave UV irradiation meter (λ=184.9nm) as the photolithograph apparatus under the cover of the photomask. The patterned BiFeO3 were prepared on the functional OTS-SAMs by sol-gel method. The characterization of the samples patterns was carried out by various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). The results indicate that the pattern BiFeO3 thin films were successfully prepared on the functional OTS-SAMs by sol-gel method and the thin films were BiFeO3 thin films with hexagonal perovskite distorted structure which has clear boundaries and 200µm deposited lines width.
