Barium strontium titanate ( Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3) or BST thin films on quartz substrates have been prepared by using a modified sol-gel processing technique. The starting materials are barium 2-ethylhexanoate Ba[CH 3( CH 2)3 CH(C 2 H 5) CO 2]2, strontium 2-ethylhexanoate Sr[CH 3( CH 2)3 CH(C 2 H 5) CO 2]2 and titanium (IV) isopropoxide Ti[CH 3 CH 3 CHO ]4. The precursors Ti[CH 3 CH 3 CHO ]4 except were synthesized in the laboratory. Transparent and crack-free films were fabricated on quartz substrates by spin coating. The as-fired films were found to be amorphous, which crystallized to cubic phase after annealing at 550°C in air for 1 hr. In this paper, we report the structural and optical properties of BST thin films prepared by the modified sol-gel process.

ABSTRACTThe properties of radio frequency, rf magnetron sputtered Barium Strontium Titanate (Ba1-xSrxTiO3), BST, thin films were investigated and compared with BST thin films deposited by sol-gel method with the aim of determining relationships between the oxide deposition parameters, the film structure, and the electric field dependence. This work presents noncontact electrical characterization of BST films using Corona Kelvin metrology (C-KM) which has been employed earlier only in the silicon industry. The films were structurally characterized using thickness profilometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The use of sol-gel technique to fabricate small area metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures is found to be beneficial from the point of saving fabrication time and production costs.
