Abstract

LiTaO3 films with c-axis preferred orientation have been prepared on Si(111) substrates using sol-gel spin-coating and rapid thermal annealing. Hydrogen-terminated silicon surface, preheating temperature, and unidirectional heat flow during the heat treatment are essential factors for the c-axis texture. The texture is useful in pyroelectric, metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor (MFS) nonvolatile memory, and integrated optics applications.
