摘要
To investigate the stress effect on the E-2(high) Raman vibration mode, we grew heteroepitaxial ZnO films on c-plane sapphire with different strain states by changing the film thicknesses between 5 and 100 nm. To determine the relationship between the observed frequency of the E-2(high) mode with the biaxial residual stress of the ZnO thin films, the out-of-plane strain of films were measured with x-ray diffraction from which the residual stress was calculated. The biaxial residual stress and E-2(high) frequency were related linearly by a factor of similar to 170 MPa/cm(-1), which is in agreement with reported values from high pressure investigations of bulk ZnO.
