Research abstract

HETEROEPITAXIAL GROWTH OF YTTRIA STABILIZED ZIRCONIA (YSZ) ON SILICON, WHICH CAN BE USED FOR SILICON-ON-INSULATOR AND AS A SUBSTRATE FOR FERROELECTRIC AND HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIALS IS BEING DEMONSTRATED. BECAUSE IT OFFERS POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE QUALITY OF TODAY'S TECHNOLOGIES AT A FRACTION OF THE COST, ITS DEVELOPMENT COULD OVERCOME A MAJOR BARRIER TO WIDESPREAD USE OF SILICON-ON-INSULATOR SUBSTRATES. METALORGANIC CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (MOCVD) IS USED TO DEPOSIT YSZ ON HYDROGEN-PASSIVATED SILICON. THE DEPOSITED FILMS ARE FULLY CHARACTERIZED FOR COMPOSITION, CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES.
