Popis: | Lanthanum nickelate layers have been deposited onto 100 mm diameter silicon/silicon dioxide and (0001) sapphire substrates by liquid-delivery metal-organic (MO) CVD using the precursors La(thd) 3 and Ni(thd) 2 (thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and heptane. The LaNiO 3 (LNO) was deposited at 630°C in an oxidizing atmosphere, and the as-grown layers were highly crystalline and highly (110)-oriented on Si/SiO 2 . Electrical resistivity studies were performed and showed a dependence on the La/Ni ratio, the substrate used, and the post-deposition annealing conditions. A minimum electrical resistivity value of 300 μΩ cm was measured for LNO deposited on (0001) sapphire and rapidly annealed at 750°C. The resistivity values of the LNO layers deposited onto silicon/silicon dioxide were higher, with a minimum value of 1 mΩ cm. The rapid annealing at 750 °C resulted in cracking of some of the LNO layers deposited onto the silicon substrates. However, the layers that were nickel-rich withstood the annealing treatment better and showed little evidence of cracking. |
