AB - Epitaxial, hexagonal Ge–Sb–Te was grown on Si(111)Si(111) substrates by Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) using the precursor digermane. The effect of reactor pressure, growth temperature and in situ pre-treatment on morphology and Ge–Sb–Te composition was studied. The composition is sensitive to reactor pressure and growth temperature. Compositional control is achieved at a reactor pressure of View the MathML source50hPa. Substrate pre-treatment affects film coalescence. The use of hydrogen and a suitable precursor pre-treatment leads to enhanced surface coverage. X-ray diffraction reveals a trigonal structure with lattice parameters close to that reported for Ge1Sb2Te4Ge1Sb2Te4 crystallizing in the View the MathML sourceR3¯m phase. The composition was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
