Abstract
Epitaxial films of LiNbO3 have been formed on (001), (110) and (012) sapphire substrates using an excimer-laser ablation technique. The orientation relationships are LiNbO3(001)//sapphire(001), LiNbO3(001)//sapphire(110) and LiNbO3(100)//sapphire(012). LiNbO3(110) is also obtained on (110) sapphire under the fast-deposition condition. We have fabricated surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters on the LiNbO3 films and evaluated the properties.Keywords
