Abstract

We report on oriented and adherent cubic BN films grown on (001) faces of silicon using the method of ion-assisted pulsed laser deposition. The structure of the films is cubic zinc-blende with a lattice constant of 3.62 Å, as determined by infrared absorption and transmission electron microscopy. The films were found to be polycrystalline, and oriented with the cubic BN [110] axis parallel to the Si [001] direction.
