Growth and Investigation of Zincblende ZnO on Si(001)
zinc oxide (ZnO) has received much attention due to its potential applications in blue and ultraviolet devices. High quality and high efficiency p-type doping is still a big challenge for their studies and device applications. Zincblende ZnO is suggested to be one possible key to overcome this obstacle. Metastable thin zincblende ZnO film has been realized on GaAs(001)
sapphire
and Pt(111)/Ti/SiO

/Si(100) multilayered substrates using a ZnS buffer/interlayers for the growth. However
due to the very large lattice mismatching
silicon is not the idealist substrate for the epitaxial growth of single crystal ZnO
while a great variety of wurtzite ZnO nano-structures have been constructed on Si(001). In this work
a plasma assistant molecular beam epitaxy was employed to grow the zincblende ZnO directly on Si(001) substrate at room temperature
and the growth kinetics was simply explored. The samples were grown and post-annealed under modulated growth conditions. They were zincblende polycrystalline embedded with wurtzite subdomains revealed by in-situ scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements. Nano trapezoid columns were observed on the as-grown samples. Nanostructural rings and clusters were depicted during the surface evolution after annealing. Though the zincblende ZnO is quite stable in ambient conditions
the metastable phase can be realized only under some critical conditions
such as the initial stage of ZnO nucleation during the epitaxial growth. The wurtzite ZnO generally has a growth privilege over the zincblende ZnO. Since the silicon substrate has a cubic symmetry lattice
it could result in formation of the zincblende ZnO in square structure at the initial growth
especially under the very low epitaxial temperature
i.e. room temperature. With the increasing of the thin film thickness
the influence from the substrates decreases
then the growth turns to favor for more stable wurtzite structure. Thus
the samples became zincblende polycrystalline embedded with wurtzite subdomains. Though the surface experiences a series of evolutions under annealing
the investigations showed the phase transition from zincblende to wurtzite is not as remarkable as expected.
