A novel fabrication technique utilizing dual plasma generated by metal vacuum arc (MEVVA) and radio frequency (RF) is discussed in this paper. We have recently conducted a systematic investigation to determine the optimal process window to deposit CeO2 thin films’on Si(100) substrates. The X-ray diffraction results show the existence of CeO2(100) in the as-deposited sample.展开更多
