Characteristics of Bi2212 Thin Film Fabricated by Layer-by-Layer Deposition at an Ultra Low Growth rate

초저속 순차증착으로 제작한 Bi2212 박막의 특성

$Bi_2Sr_2CuO_x$ thin films were fabricated by atomic layer-by-layer deposition using an ion beam sputtering method, 10 wt% and 90 wt% ozone mixed with oxygen were used with ultraviolet light irradiation to assist oxidation. At early stages of the atomic layer by layer deposition, two dimensional epitaxial growth which covers the substrate surface would be suppressed by the stress and strain caused by the lattice misfit, then three dimensional growth takes place. Since Cu element is the most difficult to oxidize, only Sr and Bi react with each other predominantly, and forms a buffer layer on the substrate in an amorphous-like structure, which is changed to $SrBi_2O_4$ by in-situ anneal.
