An attempt to deposit a single crystalline chalcogenide phase change materials is of interests to improve the material performance for an application in non-volatile memory. In this report, the fabrication of high-quality Sb2Te3 by pulsed laser deposition is presented. The thin films were epitaxially grown on Si(111) substartes. The epitaxial growth was achieved at elevated substrate temperature ranging from 130° to 260°C. The films were grown in layer-by-layer mode. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy reveal that the films possess trigonal Sb2Te3 structure containing twin domains. The thin film growth starts with Sb/Te passivation layer. This results open up the feasibility to fabricate thin multilayer structure of chalcogenide phase change materials.
