摘要
Ferroelectric YMnO3 (YMO) thin films were grown on Pt/Al2O3 (0001) and Pt/Y2O3/Si (111) structures using Y2O3 buffer layers by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) analyses and X-rap diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that both Y2O3 and YMO films were epitaxially grown on both substrates. Capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement for a YMO film on the Pt/Al2O3 structure showed a butterfly-type curve with a memory window of 0.85 V. The remanent polarization (2P(r)) of the film was determined to be larger than 0.7 muC/cm(2) from Sawyer-Tower measurement. Ferroelectricity of a YMO film in the Al/YMO/Y2O3/Pt/Y2O3/Si(111) structure was almost the same as that on Pt/Al2O3, which indicated that the effect of the different thermal expansion coefficients of the substrates was not significant.
