Abstract

Layer transfer of thin BaTiO3 films onto silicon-based substrates has been investigated. H+ and He+ ion implantation created a buried sacrificial layer in the BaTiO3 single crystals. Thermodynamics and kinetics of cavity nucleation and growth at the bonding interface have been investigated and single crystal thin film layers were transferred onto amorphous Si3N4 and Pt substrates. We have found that defects generated by ion implantation in ferroelectric materials can be significantly recovered with the subsequent annealing for layer splitting. Also, after high dose ion implantation, the films remain single crystal and stoichiometry. Finally, characterization proves the layer-transferred thin films are ferroelectrically active, with domains and piezoresponse similar to bulk crystals.
