Abstract

We report an investigation of Al films deposited on Si(100) surfaces by a partially ionized beam. By controlling the Al ion to atom ratio in the beam and the bias potential applied to the substrate, two different orientations, namely, the Al(110) and the Al(111) faces, can be formed on the Si(100) substrate.
