- 論文の詳細を見る
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to investigate nucleation and growth phenomena in the hetero-epitaxy of calcium fluoride (CaF_2) on a Si(111) surface. CaF_2 was evaporated at room temperature on Si(111), and annealed to about 450℃. Subsequently, characteristically, shaped islands, with steps arranged in the [11^^-0] direction, were observed both on a terrace and a step edge of Si(111). After annealing this surface to about 600℃, STM images clearly showed that these islands underwent a structural transformation to well-ordered hetero-epitaxial layers which consisted of rows running along the [11^^-0] direction and grew from Si step edges. These findings show that at a high temperature the preferential nucleation sites are distributed on the Si step edges and that CaF_2 molecules have sufficient surface diffusion length to form the heteroepitaxial layers at the step edges.
