摘要
The epitaxial growth of sapphire films on sapphire substrates and single crystalline Al film substrates is reported. The films were grown by Al deposition in O2 atmosphere. O2 gas was introduced in the chamber through a variable leak valve to 2 x 10(-4) Torr. Depositions were made at the acceleration voltages of 1-5 kV and substrate temperatures of 200-600-degrees-C. The typical deposition rate was 2 nm/min. The crystalline state could be controlled by changing the acceleration voltage. High quality epitaxial films on sapphire substrates were obtained at 5 kV and 400-degrees-C. The refractive index was 1.763. In the case of the deposition on an Al film surface, the (0001) plane of the grown film was parallel to the (111) plane of the Al film. The highest index, 1.763, was obtained on the 200-degrees-C substrate. This is almost equal to that of a sapphire crystal. The microhardness was also evaluated.
