Impact of the crystallographic variants of VO2 thin films on c-and r-cut sapphire on structural phase transition and radiofrequency properties

Résumé

Vanadium dioxide exhibits a metal to insulator transition close to room temperature, making it very interesting in particular for radiofrequency (RF) device applications. Here, we compare the structural and RF properties of VO2 thin films grown by magnetron sputtering on c-cut and r-cut sapphire substrates. The epitaxial growth of VO2 on c-cut sapphire gives rise to several crystallographic variants for the insulating M1 phase. Moreover, during the structural transition, simultaneous presence of both metallic and insulating phases is evidenced by X-ray diffraction over a large temperature range. Films grown on r-cut sapphire exhibit only 2 variants, and present a very narrow temperature range of their structural transition. Interestingly, such structural differences of the films grown on c-and r-cut sapphire substrates have very little influence on their dc resistivity, while the transmission of the RF signal through the metallic phase was found much lower on c-cut than on r-cut sapphire. This supports the fact that r-cut sapphire is preferable for VO2-based RF device fabrication.
