Nanodots and microwires of ZrO2 grown on LaAlO3 by photo-assisted metal–organic chemical vapor deposition*
CHINESE PHYSICS B(2016)
摘要
ZrO2 nanodots are successfully prepared on LaAlO3 (LAO) (100) substrates by photo-assisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). It is indicated that the sizes and densities of ZrO2 nanodots are controllable by modulating the growth temperature, oxygen partial pressure, and growth time. Meanwhile, the microwires are observed on the surfaces of substrates. It is found that there is an obvious competitive relationship between the nanodots and the microwires. In a growth temperature range from 500 degrees C to 660 degrees C, the microwires turn longest and widest at 600 degrees C, but in contrast, the nanodots grow into the smallest diameter at 600 degrees C. This phenomenon could be illustrated by the energy barrier, decomposition rate of Zr(tmhd)(4), and mobility of atoms. In addition, growth time or oxygen partial pressure also affects the competitive relationship between the nanodots and the microwires. With increasing oxygen partial pressure from 451 Pa to 752 Pa, the microwires gradually grow larger while the nanodots become smaller. To further achieve the controllable growth, the coarsening effect of ZrO2 is modified by varying the growth time, and the experimental results show that the coarsening effect of microwires is higher than that of nanodots by increasing the growth time to quickly minimize ZrO2 energy density.
