Abstract | Bismuth oxide thin films were deposited by atomic layer deposition using Bi(OCMe₂ [superscript i]Pr)₃ and H₂O at deposition temperatures between 90 and 270°C on Si₃N₄, TaN, and TiN substrates. Films were analyzed using spectroscopic ellipsometry, x-ray diffraction, x-ray reflectivity, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. Bi₂O₃ films deposited at 150°C have a linear growth per cycle of 0.039 nm/cycle, density of 8.3 g/cm³, band gap of approximately 2.9 eV, low carbon content, and show the β phase structure with a (201) preferred crystal orientation. Deposition temperatures above 210°C and postdeposition anneals caused uneven volumetric expansion, resulting in a decrease in film density, increased interfacial roughness, and degraded optical properties. |
