Abstract

ZnO epitaxial films have been grown on a (0001)sapphire substrate by RF magnetron sputtering. The single crystalline ZnO films were grown at the condition of growth rate of about 0.1~0.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$/hr and the substrate temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. The film thickness was about 400~500 nm. The thin film quality and micro-structure have been evaluated by XRD and TEM observation.

ZnO 에피박막을 사파이어 기판의 (0001)면 상에 RF magnetron sputtering 법으로 성장하였다. 박막의 성장속도는 약 0.1~0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$/hr 였으며, 기판온도가 $600^{\circ}C$일 때, 약 400~500nm두께의 단결정상의 박막을 성장할 수 있었다. 성장된 단결정상 박막에 대하여 XRD분석과 TEM을 이용하여 박막의 품질과 미세구조를 평가하였다.
