Epitaxial growth of GeTe Phase Change Alloy on Si(111) Substrate by Pulsed Laser Deposition — •Isom Hilmi1, Andriy Lotnyk1, Jürgen W.

GeTe phase change thin films have been grown on highly lattice-mismatched Si(111) substrates by means of pulsed laser deposition technique. Depending on the substrate temperature, the films grew in amorphous, oriented polycrystalline and single crystalline structures, consecutively, between RT and 300°C, as revealed by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The narrow epitaxial window of GeTe on Si(111) is observed around 230°C. The crystalline thin films grow mainly in a distorted rock-salt structure, with the out-of-plane and in-plane epitaxial relationships were determined to be GeTe[111]//Si[111] and GeTe[11-2]//Si[11-2], respectively. The RHEED and atomic force microscopy measurements revealed that the film grew according to Stranski-Krastanov mode. The TEM measurements showed the presence of overlapping twins and the out of plane rotated grains in the thin films.
