Twin structures of epitaxial SnO2 films grown on a-cut sapphire by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
(Published online 8 February 2012)
0) sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were employed to characterize the epitaxial relationship and film structure. The films were (101) oriented with pure rutile structure. The in-plane relationship was determined to be SnO2 [010]//Al2O3 [0001] and SnO2 [10
]//Al2O3 [1
00]. There are three kinds of {101} twins in the SnO2 film. These twins caused high density of planar defects in the film and slight misorientation of the growth plane. The film/substrate interface was flat, while the film surface was rough with steps and inclinations.© 2012 American Vacuum Society
