Effect of bottom electrode on dielectric property of sputtered- ( Ba , Sr ) TiO 3 films

( Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 ) TiO 3 (BST) films were deposited on ( 111 ) Pt / TiO 2 / SiO 2 / Al 2 O 3 substrates by rf sputtering. By inserting a thin layer of SrRuO 3 in between BST film and (111)Pt electrode, the BST films grew fully (111)-oriented without any other orientations. In addition, it enables us...

Description
Summary:( Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 ) TiO 3 (BST) films were deposited on ( 111 ) Pt / TiO 2 / SiO 2 / Al 2 O 3 substrates by rf sputtering. By inserting a thin layer of SrRuO 3 in between BST film and (111)Pt electrode, the BST films grew fully (111)-oriented without any other orientations. In addition, it enables us to reduce the growth temperature of BST films while keeping the dielectric constant and tunability as high as those of BST films directly deposited on Pt at higher temperatures. The dielectric loss of the films on SrRuO 3 -top substrates was comparable to that on Pt-top substrates for the same level of dielectric constant. The results suggest that the SrRuO 3 thin layer on (111)Pt electrode is an effective approach to growing highly crystalline BST films with (111) orientation at lower deposition temperatures.
