Abstract
We present the preparation and structural properties of SrTiO3 thin films deposited on Si(100) and Si(110) substrates by on-axis rf magnetron sputtering. In order to reduce the oxide layer at the substrate-film interface, a l0nm thick Sr layer is deposited in-situ by electron beam evaporation prior to the deposition of the SrTiO3 films. The growth of the SrTiO3 films is influenced by the deposition temperature. XRD measurements reveal preferred (110) orientation for the SrTiO3 films grown at substrate temperature 750°C. Beside X-ray diffraction method the layers are investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy in more detail. We observe epitaxial growth of the SrTiO3 layer if it is deposited on Si(110) substrate.
