摘要: Ge-rich ZrO2 films, fabricated by confocal RF magnetron sputtering of pure Ge and targets in Ar plasma, were studied multi-angle laser ellipsometry, Raman scattering, Auger electron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared X-ray diffraction for varied deposition conditions annealing treatments. It was found that as-deposited films are homogeneous all contents, thermal treatment stimulated a phase separation formation crystalline ZrO2. The “start point” this process is the range 640–700 °C depending on content. higher content, lower temperature necessary separation, nucleation nanoclusters, crystallization. Along with this, crystallization tetragonal exceeds phase, which results crystallites an amorphous matrix. mechanism discussed detail.
