Physical vapor deposition was used to grow good quality crystalline stoichiometric SrTiO3 thin films on Si(001) substrate using a systematic approach starting from understanding of kinetics and thermodynamics of the system and finishing with the development of procedure for high quality SrTiO3/Si interface. Growth of optimized SrTiO3 perovskite structure on Si requires careful transformation of a thin interfacial SrSix layer into the initial SrTiO3 lattice cells. The critical aspects of the growth, such as low temperature and low oxidant partial pressure, are explained in details. Crystallinity and stoichiometry of SrTiO3 were verified using powder …
