AbstractBa0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films were grown by rf-magnetron sputtering. Pt and RuO2 films were used as bottom electrodes of the Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films. Further, a Pt/RuO2 hybrid electrode was adopted as an electrode for the film. Structural properties of the Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films were found to be closely related to the type of the bottom electrodes. Dielectric constants of the films on Pt, RuO2, and Pt/RuO2 were measured as 500, 320, and 450 in the range of 100 Hz ˜ 1 MHz, respectively. Leakage current characteristics of the films were also found to be strongly dependent on the type of the electrodes and their microstructures.

Typical Composition

ABSTRACTSi-added SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) ferroelectric films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering on a Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) structure. The films were deposited at temperatures below 100°C for preventing Bi evaporation and crystallized at 800°C in air. A typical composition was Sr0.79Bi2.37Ta2.00Si0.2Ox. The remnant polarization value(2Pr) of the Si-added SBT film was 16C/cm2 and leakage current density was 5×10-8A/cm2. The current density was significantly decreased by adding Si atoms.

AbstractThe application of high dielectric (Ba, Sr)TiO3 [BST] thin films for Metal-Insulator- Semiconductor(MIS) capacitors was investigated. BST thin films were deposited on p-Si(100) substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering with temperature range of 500–600 °C. We examined the characteristics of MIS capacitor with various oxygen pressure, substrate temperature and (Ba+Sr)/Ti ratio. The dielectric properties of MIS capacitors consisting of AI/BST/SiO2/Si sandwich structure were measured for various conditions. The charge state densities of the MIS capacitors were determined by high frequency (1 MHz) C-V measurement. Also, current-voltage characteristics of the MIS capacitor were investigated. In order to reduce the leakage current in MIS capacitor, high quality SiO2 layer was grown on bare p-Si substrate by thermal oxidation. By applying SiO2 layer between BST thin films and Si substrate, low leakage current of 10−10 order was observed. Futhermore, the leakage current showed the dependence on the oxygen concentration in plasma gas and the (Ba+Sr)/Ti ratio. Also, the BST MIS structure showed relatively high capacitance even though it is the combination of high-dielectric BST thin films and SiO2 layer. By C-V measurement, the polarity of effective oxide charge changed with the oxygen concentration in plasma gas and (Ba+Sr)/Ti ratio of sputtering target.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited onto SiO2/Si substrates using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method as an Ammonia (NH3) sensor. The dependence of RF power (50~300 Watt) on the structural properties and sensitivity of NH3sensor were investigated. XRD analysis shows that regardless of the RF power, all samples display the preferred orientation on the (002) plane. The results show that the ZnO deposited at 200 Watt display the highest sensitivity value which is 44%.

The effects of Al and Nb doping on the leakage current behaviors were studied for the Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) thin films deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering. Al and Nb were selected as acceptor and donor dopants, respectively, because they have been known to replace Ti-sites of the BST perovskite. The BST thin films prepared in situ at elevated temperatures showed relatively high leakage current density and low breakdown voltage. However, the BST thin films deposited at room temperature and annealed subsequently in air showed improved electrical properties. In particular, the leakage current density of the Al-doped BST thin film was measured to be around 10−8 A/cm2 at 125 kV/cm, which is much lower than those of the undoped or Nb-doped thin films. The results suggest that the Schottky barriers at grain boundaries in the film interior could determine the leakage behavior in the BST thin films.
