Thin films of CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) were grown on LaAlO3 substrate by metalorg. chem. vapor deposition (MOCVD) of Ti(tmhd)2(O-i-Pr)2, Ca(hfa)2-tetraglyme, and Cu(tmhd)2 (Htmhd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptadione; Hhfa = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentadione; tetraglyme = 2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane). The best growth conditions were: use of the above precursors at a 1:1:3 Ca-Cu-Ti ratio, 100 cm3/min Ar carrier gas with 200 cm3/min O2, 1 h deposition time, and 900° in-situ annealing in an O2-contg. gas for 1 h. The CCTO films were aligned with their c axis normal to the substrate surface. Lattice consts. of the films were : (a) 7.416 ± 0.002 Å, and (c) 7.440 ± 0.002 Å.

Abstract
Thin films of CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) were grown on LaAlO3 substrate by metalorg. chem. vapor deposition (MOCVD) of Ti(tmhd)2(O-i-Pr)2, Ca(hfa)2-tetraglyme, and Cu(tmhd)2 (Htmhd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptadione; Hhfa = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentadione; tetraglyme = 2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane). The best growth conditions were: use of the above precursors at a 1:1:3 Ca-Cu-Ti ratio, 100 cm3/min Ar carrier gas with 200 cm3/min O2, 1 h deposition time, and 900° in-situ annealing in an O2-contg. gas for 1 h. The CCTO films were aligned with their c axis normal to the substrate surface. Lattice consts. of the films were : (a) 7.416 ± 0.002 Å, and (c) 7.440 ± 0.002 Å.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
