BiFeO3 is a very promising multiferroic materials, which can present ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic properties at room temperature (Tn=643 K, Tc= 1103 K). Because the fabrication methods of BiFeO3 films play a significant role on their properties, various processing techniques have been developed in recent years for the preparation of such films. In this paper, the main fabrication processes on BiFeO3 thin films were reviewed, including two important chemical processes, chemical solution deposition and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, and two commonly applied physical processes, pulsed laser deposition and radio-frequency magnetron sputtering.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were grown by atmospheric pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. After rapid thermal annealing (RTA), the films have a (001) preferred orientation, The I-V and C-V characteristics were studied, the resistivity were in the rang of 1010∼1013 ω. cm, at room temperature. The memory window is about 3V. These results snow that The Bi4Ti3O12 films prepared at present work are suitable for making ferroelectric FEFETs memories. By using planar silicon processing, the FEFET devices have been fabricated, which shows clearly memory effect under a applied ±5V gate voltage.

Tin oxide thin films were deposited at 375 °C on α-alumina substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process. A number of hillocks on the film were formed after air annealing at 500 °C for 30 min and few things in N2 annealing. The oxygen content and the binding energy after air annealing came to close the stoichiometric SnO2. The cauliflower hillocks of the film seem to be formed by the continuous migration of crystallites from a cauliflower grain on the substrate to release the stress due to the increase of oxygen content and volume.

Synthesis of zirconium tetramethylheptanedione [Zr(thd)4] was optimized. Purity of Zr(thd)4 was confirmed by melting point determination, carbon, and hydrogen elemental analysis and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR). By using Zr(thd)4, excellent quality ZrO2 thin films were successfully deposited on single-crystal silicon wafers by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at reduced pressures. For substrate temperatures below 530 °C, the film deposition rates were very small (⋚1 nm/min). The film deposition rates were significantly affected by (i) source temperature, (ii) substrate temperature, and (iii) total pressure. As-deposited films are carbon free. Furthermore, only the tetragonal ZrO2 phase was identified in as-deposited films. The tetragonal phase transformed progressively into the monoclinic phase as the films were subjected to a high-temperature post-deposition annealing. The optical properties of the ZrO2 thin films as a function of wavelength, in the range of 200 nm to 2000 nm, were also reported. In addition, a simplified theoretical model which considers only a surface reaction was used to analyze the deposition of ZrO2 films. The model predicated the deposition rates well for various conditions in the hot wall reactor.
