Abstract

Epitaxial growth of CeO₂ was obtained on the Si(111) surface by laser ablation in UHV atmosphere. However, a dual amorphous layer formed at the interface, yielding a CeO₂/α-CeO_x/α-SiO₂/Si(111) structure. This structure is speculated to be caused by a reaction occurring between Ce oxide and Si. Post annealing in O₂ ambient caused the regrowth of CeO₂, eliminated the α-CeO_x layer, and increased the thickness of the SiO₂ layer. The new CeO₂/SiO₂/Si(111) structure shows improved breakdown voltage and fewer interfacial states as observed by C-V and I-V measurements. The SiO₂ is expected to tie surface states with Si, whereas the single crystal CeO₂ will allow the epitaxial growth of lattice-matched Si on this insulating film. The effect of growth conditions and O₂ annealing on both the structural and the electrical properties of this epitaxial oxide will be presented.
