Abstract

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films were formed on Si(111) substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a temperature range of 650–800 °C using β-diketone metal chelates. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data evidenced that YSZ thin films have a smooth surface with fine grains and crystalline structure, respectively. The crystalline structure of YSZ films was affected by the deposition temperature. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data indicated that the YSZ film grows thick enough to prevent the diffusion of Si.
