Oriented aluminum nitride thin films deposited by pulsed-laser ablation

Abstract
Single-phase aluminum nitride thin films with preferred crystallographic orientations have been grown on single-crystal sapphire by pulsed-laser ablation. The orientation of the films was found to be determined by the atmosphere and the nitrogen pressure during deposition and the substrate temperature. The films were examined by x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy.
