Abstract
Metal organic vapour phase epitaxy has been investigated for growth of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 films on (001) GaAs substrates using trimethylbismuth, triethylantimony and diisopropyltelluride as metal organic sources. High resolution TEM and X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that films had single crystalline phases with a preferential c-orientation and layered structures resulting from the van der Waals bonding nature in these materials. By optimizing growth parameters such as precursor ratio, growth temperatures, and flow rate in reactor, we could obtain Seebeck coefficient of -160muVK-1 for Bi2Te3 and +110muVK-1 for Sb2Te3 films, respectively. The high Seebeck coefficient and atomistically smooth surface morphologies of these materials are promising for the fabrication of a few nm thick periodic Bi2Te3/Sb 2Te3super lattice structures for thin film thermoelectric device applications
