摘要
Conducting oxide interfaces have attracted considerable attention, motivated by both fundamental science and potential for oxide electronic devices. An important gap for maturing such device technology is scalability and routes to control the electronic properties, which can narrow the device engineering space. Here, we demonstrate and explain the mechanisms of highly tunable conductive oxide interfaces. We synthesized amorphous–crystalline Al2O3/SrTiO3 interfaces using the scalable and industry-compatible atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. An NH3 plasma pretreatment is employed in the ALD chamber, and its duration is used as a tuning parameter for the electrical properties, where a span of three orders of magnitude in the sheet resistance is observed at room temperature. For the most conductive sample, our results are comparable to the highest carrier density values reported for all-crystalline oxide interfaces prepared with state-of-the-art epitaxial growth techniques, such as pulsed laser deposition. We pinpoint the origin of conductivity to oxygen vacancies caused by the SrTiO3 reduction by the NH3 plasma pretreatment. These results present a simple, scalable, and industry-compatible route for realizing conductive oxide interfaces, with a broad parameter space, offering a versatile and flexible toolkit for oxide device engineering.
