Popis: The texture evolution of hafnium diboride (HfB 2 ) thin films grown by chemical vapor deposition from the single source precursor Hf(BH 4 ) 4 was studied. Films grown on amorphous substrates show a (0 0 0 1) orientation at growth temperatures ⩽700 °C, but a (1 0 1 0) orientation at 800 °C and above. Single-crystal substrates greatly influence the preferred orientation and in-plane texture of the films: (1 0 1 0) orientation is favored on Si (0 0 1), whereas there is a strong tendency to grow in a (0 0 0 1) orientation on Si (1 1 1). At a growth temperature of 950 °C, HfB 2 can be epitaxially grown on Si (1 1 1) substrates.
