Abstract Bi1.5Zn0.5Nb0.5Ti1.5O7 (BZNT) thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering. In this paper, by studying the phase structure, surface morphology, and dielectric properties of BZNT films, it is found that by increasing the initial temperature in the annealing process, the film formation quality, internal stress and dielectric properties of the film can be improved. and the best performance of the BZNT film is obtained under the annealing process at the initial temperature of 500°C. The tuning amount (Tu), Dielectric loss (Loss) and quality factor (FOM) are: 13.55 percent, 0.00298 and 45.46, respectively.

Bismuth zinc niobate titanium (Bi1.5Zn0.5 Nb0.5Ti1.5O7) (BZNT) thin films were deposited on PtTiSiO2Si substrates by radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering. The microstructure, surface morphology, stress, dielectric and tunable properties of thin films were investigated as a function of initial annealing temperature. It’s found that high initial annealing temperature increases the grain size, dielectric constant and tunability of BZNT films simultaneously and decreases the tensile stress in films. The BZNT thin film annealed from 500 °C to 700 °C shows the highest FOM value of 45.67 with the smallest dielectric loss and upper tunability.

The dielectric properties of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BSTO) and Zr doped BSTO thin films have been investigated to identify candidate thin film dielectric materials having low dielectric loss without degradation of the tunability by continuous composition spread (CCS) technique using off-axis rf magnetron sputtering. The optimized properties of BSTO thin films deposited on Pt/SiO2/Si substrate by CCS were dielectric loss 0.031, tunability 31.5, respectively. The optimized properties of Zr doped BSTO thin films deposited on Pt/SiO2/Si substrate by CCS were improved by dielectric loss 42%, FOM 68% at the same BSTO composition, respectively. To confirm the dielectric properties and compositions by CCS technique, Zr doped BSTO bulk ceramics were evaluated.

The Pb0.25Ba0.15Sr0.6TiO3 (PBST) thin films have been deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at different temperatures by radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering method. The microstructure, surface morphology, dielectric and tunable properties of PBST thin films were investigated as a function of deposition temperature. It’s found that the orientation of PBST thin films was adjusted by deposition temperature. The PBST thin film deposited at room temperature shows (100) preferred orientation and its dielectric constant and tunability are higher than that of PBST thin film deposited at 450 °C. Furthermore, the PBST thin film deposited at room temperature shows lower dielectric loss and leakage current, which makes it exhibit higher FOM of 49.47 for its appropriate tunability of 44.38% and low dielectric loss of 0.00897.

Pb0.65Ba0.35ZrO3 (PBZ) thin films have been grown on MgO (001) substrates by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD). We have compared the structural and dielectric properties of PBZ films grown at various temperatures. A highly c-axis orientation has appeared at PBZ film grown at the deposition temperature of 550oC. The c-axis oriented PBZ film has also shown the largest tunability among all the PBZ films in capacitance-voltage measurements. The tunability and dielectric loss of the PBZ film was 20% and 0.00959, respectively. In addition, we have compared the temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) of a PBZ film with that of a Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) film which is a well-known material applicable to tunable microwave devices. We have confirmed that TCC value of a PBZ thin film was three-times smaller than that of a BST thin film.

Abstract Perovskites are important composites in the area of multidisciplinary applications. It is achieved by carefully choosing and tuning the properties of the thin-film at the deposition. In this paper, ZnTiO3 (ZTO) thin-films were being deposited on quartz and N-Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The thin-films were developed at room temperature, oxygen percentage levels varying from 0 to 100, and annealed at 600oC. The electrical, optical, morphological, and structural properties were analyzed as a function of oxygen mixing percentage (OMP). The crystallinity of the cubic structured ZTO thin-film is found to be high at 25 OMP, and it is gradually decreased with increased OMP. The surface morphology of the thin-film is observed, and roughness is measured from the atomic force microscope. Raman Spectroscopy investigated the phase formation and the vibrational modes of the thin-film with their spectral de-convolution. The ZTO thin-films optical properties were investigated using transmittance spectra. The ZTO thin-film indicated the highest refractive index of 2.46, at 633nm with optical bandgap values of 3.57 eV, with a thickness of 145nm and 25 OMP. The refractive index, thin-film thickness, and excitation coefficient were analyzed using the Swanepoel envelope technique. Electrical characteristics of ZTO thin-film are measured from the optimized conditions of the thin-film with conventional thermionic emission (TE) technique.

Barium strontium titanate (BST) thin films with excellent dielectric properties are deposited by on-axis RF magnetron sputtering system. The effects of composition of the target and oxygen partial pressure on the microstructure of BST thin film have been investigated. The dielectric properties of the thin films are investigated. The results show that composition of BST thin film deposited with pure argon ambient by the target with 30atm% excess of Ba and Sr is stoichiometric. Perovskite phase can be observed in the thin film annealed in oxygen at 750 °C for 30 min. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor is fabricated by microfabrication technique. The capacitance value at 2 GHz is 0.417 pF and 1.42 pF for 50 nm and 90 nm BST thin film respectively, and the leakage current density is 6×10-6 A/cm2 and 5.35×10-8 A/cm2 respectively.

BZNT (Bi1.5Zn0.5Nb0.5Ti1.5O7) thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering in different O2/Ar ranging from 4:16 to 7:13. The structure and surface morphology of BZNT thin films were investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and atom force microscopy (AFM). The analysis of component in BZNT films were carried out by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The dielectric measurements were conducted on metal-insulator-metal capacitors at the frequency from 100 Hz to 1M Hz. It’s found that the O2/Ar ratios significantly influence the elements content in BZNT thin films and the morphology and dielectric properties of BZNT thin films. At 1M Hz, the dielectric constant of BZNT thin films deposited at O2/Ar ranging from 4:16 to 7:13 is 212, 187, 171, 196, respectively. The BZNT thin film prepared at O2/Ar = 6:14 shows the highest figure of merit for its very low dielectric loss of 0.0024.
