Abstract

Yttria fully stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films have been successfully synthesized with atmospheric combustion chemical vapor deposition (ACCVD) technique with liquid fuel. Key processing parameters, such as the ratio of oxygen to liquid fuel in the flame, the concentration of metal reagents in the solution, the temperature of the substrate and substrate material, have been investigated. The as-grown films are characterized with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Within the range of experimental parameters, the phase of the film is predominantly of cubic structure. The phase and crystallinity of the films are strongly dependent upon the experimental variables.
