Abstract

We discuss the production of oriented zinc oxide piezoelectric thin films grown by RF magnetron sputtering, and film evaluation techniques. In particular, we present a simple interferometric method for in situ and simultaneous measurement of film thickness and optical losses. We also show that due to plasma heating, the increase in substrate temperature at the beginning of the film growth leads to a varying film structure, causing a discrepancy between the expected and the observed resonant frequency of the films. We conclude this paper by presenting experimental results of acousto-optic interaction.
