Abstract

Recently, there have been considerable interests in various thin film growth techniques with atomically controllable thickness. Among them, atomically controlled pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique is quite popular. We have developed advanced thin film growth technique using PLD and Reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Using the technique, the growth of oxide thin films with the precisely controllable thickness has been demonstrated. In addition, our technique can be applied to high quality thin film growth with minimal defect and bulk chemical composition. In this paper, our recent progresses as well as the current research trend on oxide thin films will be summarized.

최근 들어 박막의 원자층 두께를 정밀하게 제어하는 여러 가지 박막 성장 방법에 관한 관심이 높다. 그 중에서 원자층 두께를 조절할 수 있는 PLD 방법은 매우 폭넓은 관심을 받고 있다. 우리는 기존의 PLD 방법과 Reflection high energy electron diffraction(RHEED)을 이용하여 원자층 제어 PLD 방법을 구현하였다. 이러한 방법을 이용하여 산화물에서의 원자층 두께를 정밀하게 제어하는 방법에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 이와 같은 실험방법이 가지는 다양한 조건을 제어하여 최소한의 결함을 가지고 결정의 화학적 조성에 근접하는 고품질의 박막을 구축하여 이를 바탕으로 다양한 실험을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 최근 이러한 박막을 이용한 우리의 실험결과와 타 그룹의 실험 동향을 정리하여 보았다.
