Abstract

An epitaxial structure, 〈011〉-oriented SrTiO3 film on Si〈001〉 substrate, is developed by inserting an epitaxial Ce0.12Zr0.88O2 buffer layer. Films are prepared by pulsed-laser deposition and evaluated by x-ray diffraction. Origin of this epitaxial growth is considered as a result of the ionic bonding at the interface of perovskite (SrTiO3) and fluorite (Ce0.12Zr0.88O2) structures. SrTiO3(011) surface of this epitaxial structure leads to a non-c-axis-oriented epitaxial growth of bismuth-layerstructured-ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 film on Si〈001〉. Unique surface morphologies and superior electrical properties are presented.
