“…Epitaxial growth of CeO 2 layers on Si substrates has been studied for the application to microelectronics, due to its advantageous properties, such as high dielectric constant, chemical stability, transmission in the visible and infrared regions and highly efficient ultra-violet absorption [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Many works have showed that epitaxially grown CeO 2 layers on Si(1 0 0) substrates have (1 1 0) orientation and require high growth temperature [1,7,10].…”
