Abstract

We report for the first time the successful deposition of a continuous crystalline Al₂O₃ film on ordinary soda-lime glass via an extremely highly textured MgO buffer layer, using the ordinary electron-beam evaporation method. As a result, a highly crystalline thin-film of silicon may now be deposited on inexpensive Al₂O₃ buffered soda-lime glass for cost-effective photovoltaic and other electronic applications. In addition, our results have made possible a new kind of inexpensive and light-weight "sapphire glass" that can be used for display covers for smartphones etc.
