AbstractElectrical characteristics of ferroelectric thin films in planar electrode configuration are important to characterize these materials for their applications in micro electro mechanical (MEM) and tunable microwave devices. In the present work we have prepared polycrystalline Pb1划3x/2Ndx(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 (x = 0.0 to 10.0 at %) thin films on platinized silicon substrate by chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique. The films were characterized in terms of their dielectric and ferroelectric properties by depositing planar interdigital finger electrodes on the surface of the films by electron beam lithography. The capacitance and loss tangent of undoped and 4 at % Nd doped PZT films measured at 100 kHz were found to be 138 pF, 0.033 and 95 pF, 0.019 respectively. Saturated hysteresis loops were obtained in undoped PZT film by applying 100 V across 10 μm electrode separation. Nd doped PZT films on the other hand, electrically shorted at comparatively lower voltage. The electrical characteristics of these films are correlated with their phase formation behavior and microstructural features.

Ferroelectric 0.7BiFeO3-0.3BaTiO3 and 0.7BiFe0.95Mn0.05O3-0.3BaTiO3 thin films were prepared by the chemical solution deposition. Perovskite single-phase thin films with homogeneous surface morphology were successfully fabricated at 700°C on Pt/TiOx/SiO2/Si substrates. Although typical polarization (P)-electric field (E) hysteresis loops were observed for 0.7BiFeO3-0.3BaTiO3 thin films, their insulation resistance was relatively low at room temperature. Mn doping for Fe site of the 0.7BiFeO3-0.3BaTiO3 was very effective in improving leakage current properties. In 0.7BiFe0.95Mn0.05O3-0.3BaTiO3 thin films, the abrupt increase in leakage current was suppressed even at high electric fields, leading to the well-shaped P-E hysteresis loops at ambient temperatures. Remanent polarization and coercive field of the 0.7Bi (Fe0.95Mn0.05)O3-0.3Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 films at room temperature were approximately 26 μC/cm2 and 130 kV/cm, respectively.

Lead-free ferroelectric (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3(BNT) thin films were prepared by chemical solution deposition. BNT and Mn-doped BNT precursor thin films crystallized in the perovskite single phase at 700 °C on Pt/TiOx/SiO2/Si substrates. The leakage current density of the perovskite BNT films, especially in the high applied field region, was reduced by doping with a small amount of Mn. Also, Mn doping markedly improved the ferroelectric properties of the films. 0.5 and 1.0 mol% Mn-doped BNT thin films exhibited well-shaped ferroelectric polarization (P) electric field (E) hysteresis loops at room temperature. Furthermore, the 1 mol% Mn-doped BNT films showed a typical field-induced strain loop, and the effectived33values were estimated to be about 60 pm/V.

Ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films on Pt/ZrO2/SiO2/Si were successfully prepared by using an alkanolamine-modified chemical solution deposition method. It was observed that alkanolamine provided stability to the SBT solution by retarding the hydrolysis and condensation rates. The crystallinity and the microstructure of the SBT thin films improved with increasing annealing temperature and were strongly correlated with the ferroelectric properties of the SBT thin films. The films annealed at 800 °C exhibited low leakage current density, low voltage saturation, high remanent polarization, and good fatigue characteristics at least up to 1010 switching cycles, indicating favorable behavior for memory applications.

AbstractBismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12; BIT) -based ferroelectric materials are proposed from the view of the “Site-engineering”, where the Bi-site ions are substituted by lanthanoid ions (La3+ and Nd3+) and Ti-site ions by other ions with higher charge valence (V5+). In the present study, influences of vanadium (V) - substitution for (Bi,M)4Ti3O12 thin films [M = lanthanoid] on the ferroelectric properties are evaluated. V-substituted (Bi,M)4Ti3O12 films have been fabricated using a chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique on the (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2/(100)Si substrate. Remnant polarization of (Bi,La)4Ti3O12 and (Bi,Nd)4Ti3O12 films has been improved by the V-substitution independent of the coercive field. The processing temperature of BLT and BNT films could also be lowered by the V-substitution.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric PZT thin films on thin RuO2 (10, 30, 50nm)/Pt hybrid bottom electrodes were successfully prepared by using a modified chemical solution deposition method. It was observed that the use of a lOnm RuO2Pt bottom electrode reduced leakage current, and gave more reliable capacitors with good microstructure compare to the use of thicker RuO2/Pt bottom electrodes. Typical P-E hysteresis behavior was observed even at an applied voltage of 3V, demonstrating greatly improved remanence and coercivity. Fatigue and breakdown characteristics, measured at 5V, showed stable behavior, and only below 13-15% degradation was observed up to 1010 cycles. Thicker RuO2 layers resulted in high leakage current density due to conducting lead ruthenate or PZT pyrochlore-ruthenate and a rosette-type microstructure.

Lead-free Bi0.5K0.5TiO3 (BKT) ferroelectric films were synthesized on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates via the chemical solution deposition. The influence of the excess potassium on the microstructures and the ferroelectric properties of the films was investigated in detail. The results showed that the BKT films have reached the well-crystallized state in the single-phase perovskite structure with 20 mol.% excess amount of potassium. For this film, the ferroelectric properties of the films were significantly enhanced. The remnant polarization (Pr) and maximum polarization (Pm) reached the highest values of 9.4 μC/cm2 and 32.2 μC/cm2, respectively, under the electric field of 400 kV/cm.
