Layer-By-Layer Growth for Pulsed Laser Deposition

Abstract: Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a popular growth method, which has been successfully used for fabricating thin films. Compared to continuous deposition (like molecular beam epitaxy) the pulse intensity can be used as an additional parameter for tuning the growth behavior, so that under certain circumstances PLD improves layer-by-layer growth. We present kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations for PLD in the submonolayer regime and give a description of the island distance versus intensity. Furthermore we discuss a th… Show more

“…Pulsed plasma/laser depositions are potential ways to suppress the observed roughening during continuous dc magnetron sputtering. 19,20 Intense pulses would dramatically reduce the flux crossing the step edges, which is the source of the instability. The high density of atoms deposited in the pulse would have low surface diffusion mobility, with atoms essentially "sticking where they land."…”

“…Recently, Hinneman and co-workers 7,8 proposed a simple model for PLD. In this model the duration of a pulse is assumed to be zero and the transient enhancement of the mobility of freshly deposited atoms is neglected.…”

“…19,20 These results seem to indicate that compressive strain inhibits exchange diffusion at the edges, thus increasing the magnitude of ES barrier and promoting 3D island formation as a result. Conversely, tensile strain decreases the ES barrier, resulting in layer-by-layer 2D crystal formation.…”
