Abstract

The evolution of texture in thin films must be fully understood in order to take advantage of favorable crystallographic orientations in a material for a given application. The development of an out-of-plane texture (preferred crystallographic orientation in the growth direction) and an in-plane texture (preferred crystallographic orientation in the plane of growth) in sputter deposited, thin mo films on Si was studied using transmission electron microscopy and diffraction, and conventional x-ray pole figures. For a range of deposition parameters, a strong (110) out-of-plane texture developed within 1000Å, while a strong in-plane texture did not develop until a thickness of about 1 μm.
