Epitaxy Growth of the Thin Films Fabricated by Layer by Layer Method

Layer by Layer 법으로 제작한 박막의 에피택셜 성장

$Bi_2Sr_2CuO_x$ thin films have been fabricated by atomic layer-by-layer deposition using the ion beam sputtering method. During the deposition, 10 and 90 wt%-ozone/oxygen mixture gas of typical pressure of $1{\sim}9{\times}10^{-5}\;Torr$ are supplied with ultraviolet light irradiation for oxidation. XRD and RHEED investigations reveal out that a buffer layer with some different compositions is formed at the early deposition stage of less than 10 units cell and then Bi-2201 oriented along the c-axis is grown.
