Nonpolar a-plane ZnO films fabricated on (302)γ-LiAlO2 by pulsed laser deposition

Growth and characterization of ZnO films on (001), (100) and (010) LiGaO2 substrates

“…As seen in Fig. 4 [9,10]; however, they are still much higher than those of c-plane ZnO films [11,12]. Therefore, the growth parameters are needed to be further optimized to improve the ZnO film quality on LGO substrate.…”

Characterization of m-plane ZnO thin film on γ-LiAlO2 (100) substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

“…Such a feature is important for obtaining high quality epitaxial films. Recently, a-plane (1 12 0) ZnO thin films have been fabricated on ␥-LiAlO 2 (3 0 2) substrates by pulsed laser deposition [5]. Here, in this letter, we report that mplane ZnO thin film synthesized on ␥-LiAlO 2 (1 0 0) substrates by low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD), and the structural and optical properties of this film were studied.…”

“…To obtain non-polar GaN (or ZnO), a proper substrate becomes a key point. ␥-LiAlO 2 exhibits a comparatively small lattice mismatch to both a-plane [5] and m-plane [6,7] GaN (ZnO). Such a feature is important for obtaining high quality epitaxial films.…”

Structural property of m-plane ZnO epitaxial film grown on LaAlO3 (112) substrate

“…Therefore, many attempts have been tried using alternative substrates with smaller anisotropic lattice mismatch to deposit non-polar ZnO. The growth of a-plane ZnO films was achieved on (3 0 2) g-LiAlO 2 , (0 1 0) LiGaO 3 , (0 0 1) SrTiO 3 , and (0 0 1) LaAlO 3 (LAO) substrates [7][8][9][10]. For the deposition of m-plane ZnO, ð1010Þsapphire, (0 0 1) MgO and (1 0 0) g-LiAlO 2 substrates were also successfully demonstrated in previous reports [11][12][13].…”
