Abstract;The effect of Sr deposition on the chemically formed SiO2 layer of Si(001) substrates and consequently the growth of SrTiO3 thin films on the Si(001)-Sr(2*1) surface have been studied using reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. After Sr deposition on the chemically formed SiO2/Si surface, a stable and well ordered Si(001)-Sr(2*1) surface is formed. The SrTiO3 film grown on the reconstructed Si(001)-Sr(2*1) surface at 350.DEG.C. is amorphous. The sharp, streaky RHEED patterns and the strong STO (002) diffraction peaks and the smooth surface with root mean square roughness of approximately 4 .ANGS. suggest that high-quality SrTiO3 films are fabricated at temperatures (400-500.DEG.C.) using molecular oxygen in molecular beam epitaxy.
