ABSTRACTBi4Ti3O12 thin films have been grown on indium tin oxide coated glass by pulsed laser deposition. The films are rapidly thermal annealed at 650 °C in various kinds of ambients. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy are used to investigate crystallization and microstructures, respectively. Using Auger electron microscopy, chemical compositions and depth profiles are examined. Optical and current-voltage characteristics measurements of the films show that their transmittance and leakage current behaviors are strongly dependent upon the microstructures. O2 partial pressure in the rapid thermal annealing process is found to be an important parameter which determines crystallization, microstructures, and leakage current behaviors of the Bi4Ti3O12 thin films.

AbstractImpurity effects were investigated in (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BST) systems in order to suppress leakage currents under relatively low oxygen pressure conditions by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). We tried to dope transition metals, such as Mo, Mn, Cr, W and Fe into the BST target and used the targets to fabricate the films. By measuring electrical properties, we found Fe-doping had a significant effect on suppressing leakage current. Subsequently, we changed the amount of Fe doping from 0.1mol% to 6%. As a result, with post annealing, the sample with Fe:4% showed the lowest leakage current among those analyzed. Even without post annealing, the sample with Fe:6% showed the lowest leakage current. As for the dielectric constants, they decreased as the doping increased. At most, a 30% reduction was observed, compared with non-doped BST. XANES (X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structures) results indicated that the valency of the Fe ion was 3+ and located at the B-site of BST.

In order to investigate the effect of argon introduction on the structural and physical properties of Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 (BST) films, epitaxial BST films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on (001) oriented Nb - SrTiO 3 (STON) substrates in the ambient gas of pure oxygen and the mixture of argon and oxygen, respectively. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) reveals that the sample deposited in the mixture of argon and oxygen has a bigger grain size than that deposited in pure oxygen. The dielectric properties of two BST films have been investigated using the Pt /BST/STON parallel plate capacitors. The tunability and the figure of merit (FOM) of the BST film deposited in the mixture gas are about 41% and 7.07 at a DC bias voltage of 8 V at room temperature, which are better than 32% and 4.51, for BST film deposited in pure oxygen. On account of the introduction of argon, the leakage current density of the BST film deposited in the mixture gas has fallen by almost five times, and the leakage current mechanism is both in accordance with ohmic conductive mechanism.
