Abstract

Epitaxial SrTiO3 thin films were prepared using low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The volatile metalorganic precursors employed were Sr(hexafluoroacetyl acetonate)2tetraglyme and titanium tetraisopropoxide. Single-phase, epitaxial films were deposited on (100)LaAlO3 at a temperature of 810°C. In-plane epitaxy was verified using x-ray phi scan analysis. The SrTiO3 films exhibit a significant tetragonal distortion with c/a=1.010(±1.6×10 -4) at room temperature. No evidence of fluorine contamination is noted by x-ray diffraction or by Auger electron spectroscopy measurements.
