Abstract

The growth and structural analysis of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of MgxZn1-x (0<x<0.33) thin films on R-plane Al2O3 substrates were discussed. It was suggested that the system was useful for designing polarization sensitive devices operating in the UV range. It was found that a ZnO buffer layer with a minimum thickness of 50 Å was required to prevent the loss of wurtzite-type crystal structure in the films.
