CVD | Low equipment cost, suitable for preparing large area sample | The complicated process, the interrelated growth parameters, many by-products |
MOVPE | The cold wall reaction chamber which can prevent precursors from reacting on the inner wall | Highly toxic precursors, high growth temperature (>1000 ℃) |
PLD, ALD and Magnetron sputtering | Easy to control the process, the low growth temperature (250-700 ℃) | The poor material quality, mostly amorphous |
MBE | High material quality | Expensive equipment and high growth temperature (>1300 ℃) |
Two-step method | The lower growth temperature (500-1000 ℃), simple process, suitable for preparing large area and patterned sample | Impurities are introduced during spin coating |
