The aim of this proposal is to develop an advanced liquid injection MOCVD technique to manufacture multilayers of complex oxides. To achieve these goals we have selected three systems for proof-of-principle studies. One system focuses on the development of liquid injection CVD as a manufacturing route to novel optoelectronic materials for Bragg reflector; the second targets nanometre scale control of oxide gates dielectrics for next generation CMOS technology; the third addresses the manufacture of new phases of oxide materials not accessible by other processing routes. This proposal brings together the disciplines of manufacturing engineering, materials and chemistry in the pursuit of an improved manufacturing processes for functional multilayer oxide thin films at lower temperatures and / or with complex compositions. Achievement of these goals will significantly enhance the prospect of integrating oxide materials with conventional substrate materials used in electronics, optical devices, sensors, actuators and medical instruments.
