- Abstract
- The x-ray diffraction patterns, transmission electron microscopy images, and selected-area electron diffraction patterns for the ZnO/Si heterostructures annealed at 900 degrees C showed that orthorhombic ZnSiO3 nanoparticles were formed in the amorphous layer between the ZnO film and the Si substrate, resulting from the interdiffusion between the ZnO film and the Si substrate due to thermal treatment. Auger electron spectroscopy depth profiles for the ZnO/Si heterostructures annealed at 900 degrees C demonstrated the formation of amorphous Zn2xSi1-xO2, an interfacial layer. A formation mechanism for the orthorhombic ZnSiO3 nanoparticles embedded in the amorphous Zn2xSi1-xO2 layer is described on the basis of the experimental results.
