摘要
High-quality ultrathin film is the key element of hot-electron devices. Using a doped sputtering target, high-performance niobium (Nb) ultrathin films are grown on high-resistivity silicon (Si), magnesium oxide (MgO), and sapphire substrates, optimized by grown 1-nm-thick aluminum nitride (AlN) films on the top. Superconducting transition temperature (T-C) of about 7.5 K and critical current density (J(C)) of about 8.2 x 10(6) A/cm(2) at 4.2 K have been obtained for the Nb film of 6.5 nm thickness on MgO substrates. The results of the films' structural characterization by X-ray photo electronic spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction are also presented.
