Growth of epitaxial ZnO thin film on yttria-stabilized zirconia single-crystal substrate

Epitaxial Growth of Bandgap Tunable ZnSnN2 Films on (0001) Al2O3 Substrates by Using a ZnO Buffer

“…However, growth of single crystal ZnO films on a cheaper c-Al 2 O 3 substrate has been widely reported. , Therefore, using the single crystal ZnO film as a buffer for growing single crystal ZnSnN 2 films on c-Al 2 O 3 is highly encouraging. Succeeding the crystal ZnSnN 2 films by using a ZnO buffer layer can also be an innovation for the substrate selection, because single crystal ZnO films were grown on various kinds of substrates. − …”

Epitaxial growth of self-arranged periodic ZnO nanostructures on sapphire substrates grown by MOCVD

“…Recently, various selforganized III-V semiconductor nanostructures can be successfully obtained through heteroepitaxial growth processes [11]. While a wide range of substrates have been used for growing high quality ZnO epitaxial thin film and nanostructures [12][13][14][15], sapphire is more favored substrate for the epitaxial growth of ZnO thin films or nanostructures, owing to low cost and large size singlecrystal being commercially available. In this article, we show that self-arranged periodic striped ZnO nanostructures can be directly grown on the (0 0 0 1) plane sapphire surface by controlling CVD growth kinetic and substrate surface structure without any complicated lithographies or sophisticated processes.…”
