摘要：
Heteroepitaxial growth of gamma-Al2O3 on Sc2O3/Y2O3/Si (111) is achieved with oxygen plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy in order to prevent polycrystalline grain boundary formation caused by lattice mismatch. Substrate temperature as well as oxygen flow are adjusted to optimize epitaxial growth conditions around 715-760 degrees C and 1.9 sccm, respectively. Epitaxial growth is monitored in situ by reflection high-energy diffraction, while surface morphology is studied by scanning electron microscopy ex-situ. X-ray diffraction indicates epitaxial out-of-plane 111 orientation with oxygen flow above 0.6 sccm. However, transmission electron microscopy shows stacking fault formation for high oxygen flows. Finally, nanobeam electron diffraction confirms Smrcok model of a spinel-like gamma-Al2O3 crystal structure.
