Abstract

Titanium thin films have been grown by electron-beam physical vapor deposition on the (0001) surface of sapphire (single crystal α−Al2O3) substrates at growth temperatures ranging from 295 to 1223 K. Single phase α−Ti films grew at all growth temperatures, even at 1223 K which is above the α-β transition temperature of Ti. Crystal quality, as measured by the width of x-ray rocking curves, was found to improve, and the elastic strain to increase, as the growth temperature increased from 295 K to 1023 K. The epitaxial relationship between the Ti and sapphire was (0002)Ti ‖ (0006)Al2O3 and [1120]Ti ‖ [1010]Al2O3. The extent of interdiffusion across the Ti/Al2O3 interface was observed to be small (< 20 nm) at all growth temperatures.
