Abstract

Epitaxial SrTiO3 (001) thin films with a TiN template layer have been deposited on Si(001) single crystal substrates by RF sputtering. The deposited SrTiO3 films show a surface with roughness of 0.66nm. The orientation relationship was determined to be SrTiO3(001)[110]∥TiN(001)[110]∥Si(001)[110]. The microstructure and interface of the multilayer was studied using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electron diffraction pattern confirmed the epitaxial relationship between each layer.
