中文摘要：

采用反应射频磁控溅射法在Si（100）基片上制备了ZrO2薄膜，通过高分辨电子显微镜、原子力显微镜，研究了沉积工艺参数（主要包括氧分压和沉积温度）对ZrO2薄膜的表面形貌和微结构的影响．研究结果显示；氧分压和沉积温度是影响ZrO2薄膜生长行为的重要因素．随氧分压的增大，ZrO2薄膜的表面粗糙度近乎呈线形增加的趋势，ZrO2薄膜微结构演化过程是a-ZrO2（非晶）→a-ZrO2和少量m-ZrO2（单斜）→m-ZrO2和少量t-ZrO2（四方）→m-ZrO2；随沉积温度从室温升高到550℃，ZrO2薄膜微结构演化过程是a-ZrO2（〈250℃）→m-zrO2和少量a-ZrO2（450℃）→m-ZrO2和少量t-ZrO2（550℃）；此外，根据薄膜微结构和表面形貌的研究结果，探讨了沉积温度对薄膜生长行为的影响及其物理机制．

英文摘要：

Thin films of zirconium oxide were deposited on Si （100） substrates by reactive radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The films were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscope （HRTEM） and atomic force microscope （AFM） to investigate the variation of surface morphology and microstructure with oxygen partial pressures and deposition temperatures, respectively. With the increase in oxygen partial pressure ratio from 7% to 100%, the surface roughness approxi- matively linearly increases, and the phase transition of the films is a-ZrO2 （amorphous）→a-ZrO2 with a little m-ZrO2 （monoclinic）→m-ZrO2＋t-ZrO2 （tetragonal）→m-ZrO2. For deposition temperatures ranging from room temperature to 550℃, the phase transition of the films is a-ZrO2 （below 250℃）→m- ZrO2 with a little a-ZrO2 （450℃）→m-ZrO2 with a little t-ZrO2 （550℃）. According to the results on the structure and surface morphology of ZrO2 thin films, the dependence of deposition temperature on surface evolution and its physical mechanism are discussed also.
