Abstract

The 5 mol% ZnO doped $LiNbO_3$ film and the 2 mol% MgO doped $LiNbO_3$ film were grown on the $LiNbO_3$ (001) substrate by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method with $Li_2CO_3-V_2O_5$ flux system. The crytsallinity and the lattice mismatch between $Zn:LiNbO_3$, film and $Mg:LiNbO_3$, film were analyzed by x-ray rocking curve (XRC). In addition, the ZnO and MgO distribution in the cross-section of the multilayer thin films was observed using electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA).

[ $Li_2CO_3-V_2O_5$ ], flux를 사용한 liquid phase epitaxy(LPE) 법을 사용하여 $LiNbO_3$ (001) 기판위에 5 mol% ZnO가 첨가된 $LiNbO_3$, 박막과 2 mol% MgO가 첨가된 $LiNbO_3$, 박막을 성장시켰다. $Zn:LiNbO_3$, 막과 $Mg:LiNbO_3$, 막과의 결정성과 격자 부정합은 x-ray rocking curve(XRC)로 분석되었다. 그리고 다층 박막의 단면에서의 ZnO와 MgO의 분포가 electron probe micro analyzer(EPMA)를 사용하여 관측되었다.
