Superconducting epitaxial $$\hbox {YBa}_{2}\hbox {Cu}_{3}\hbox {O}_{7-\delta }$$ on $$\hbox {SrTiO}_{3}$$SrTiO3-buffered Si(001)
2018
Thin films of optimally doped(001)-oriented \(\hbox {YBa}_{2}\hbox {Cu}_{3}\hbox {O}_{7-\updelta }\) are epitaxially integrated on silicon(001) through growth on a single crystalline \(\hbox {SrTiO}_{3}\) buffer. The former is grown using pulsed-laser deposition and the latter is grown on Si using oxide molecular beam epitaxy. The single crystal nature of the \(\hbox {SrTiO}_{3}\) buffer enables high quality \(\hbox {YBa}_{2}\hbox {Cu}_{3}\hbox {O}_{7-\updelta }\) films exhibiting high transition temperatures to be integrated on Si. For a 30-nm thick \(\hbox {SrTiO}_{3}\) buffer, 50-nm thick \(\hbox {YBa}_{2}\hbox {Cu}_{3}\hbox {O}_{7-\updelta }\) films that exhibit a transition temperature of \(\sim \)93 K, and a narrow transition width (<5 K) are achieved. The integration of single crystalline \(\hbox {YBa}_{2}\hbox {Cu}_{3}\hbox {O}_{7-\updelta }\) on Si(001) paves the way for the potential exploration of cuprate materials in a variety of applications.
