厚度对磁控溅射CoPt永磁薄膜磁性能的影响

CoPt永磁薄膜有较高的剩磁和矫顽力,通常用作磁传感器中的磁偏置或者微机电系统(MEMS)中的磁制动部件。CoPt薄膜多采用磁控溅射或离子束沉积工艺制备。采用磁控溅射制备了不同厚度CoPt/Cr薄膜。结果显示,CoPt薄膜矫顽力随薄膜厚度增加而降低;薄膜较厚时(大于400?),剩磁随薄膜的厚度增加而降低。这主要是因为CoPt薄膜具有密集六方结构,其自然生长为(002)面,具有垂直各向异性。由于Cr缓冲层存在,CoPt薄膜较薄时沿(1010)面生长,从而具有面内各向异性;但随薄膜厚度的增加,薄膜会沿(002)生长从而具有垂直各向异性,导致薄膜磁性能降低。     

Growth and electrical properties of Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films by sputtering using an alloy target

Abstract

Pb(Zr_x,Ti_1?x)O₃ thin films were deposited on Pt/SiO₂/Si substrates by the rf magnetron sputtering using an alloy target consisting of Zr-Ti alloy and Pb metal. The dependence of electrical properties on film thickness and sputtering gas pressure was investigated. The dielectric constant and the remanent polarization decreased and the coercive field increased with the decrease of the film thickness. In the dependence of gas pressure, the relative dielectric constant of the film with only a perovskite phase were in the range of 235–280, which were higher than those of the film with only a pyrochlore phase, 20. The asymmetry of hysteresis loops increased with the decrease of the gas pressure.

Preparation of SrBi2(Ta,Nb)2O9 thin films by rf sputtering for ferroelectric memory production

Abstract

Ferroelectric SrBi₂(Ta, Nb)₂O₉ (SBTN) thin films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering utilizing a multi-chamber type production tool (ULVAC CERAUS ZX1000). Accurate and dynamic compositional control results in excellent ferroelectric performances such as large 2Pr up to 15μC/cm², fatigue free at least 10⁹ cycles as well as good uniformity and process repeatability. These results indicate that the SBTN sputtering process is promising for ferroelectric memory production.     

Electrical properties of paraelectric PLT(28) thin films deposited by dc magnetron sputtering

Abstract

Paraelectric [Pb, La]TiO₃ (PLT, La = 28 mol%) thin films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering using a multi-element metal target. In order to crystallize the as-deposited PLT thin films into the cubic perovskite structure, a heat treatment was applied at annealing temperatures ranging between 450 and 750°C. The electrical measurements such as dielectric properties, polarization-electric field (P-E), and current-voltage (I–V) were investigated with the change of annealing temperature. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor of paraelectric PLT film annealed at 750°C were 1216 and 0.018, respectively. The charge storage density was approximately 12.5 μC/cm². The leakage current density in PLT film annealed at 650°C was around 0.1 μA/cm² at the electric field of 0.25 MV/cm.     

Growth mode in strained ZnO films on Al2O3(0001) during sputtering

We investigated the temperature dependence of growth mode in highly mismatched sputter-grown ZnO/Al₂O₃(0001) heteroepitaxial films using real-time synchrotron X-ray scattering. We find that the growth mode changes from 2 dimensional (2D) layer to 3D island in early growth stage with temperature (300^∘C–500^∘C). At around 400^∘C, however, intermediate 2D platelets nucleate in early stage, act as nucleation cores of 3D islands and transform to misaligned state during further growth. The results of the strain evolution during growth suggest that the surface diffusion is a major factor in determining the growth mode in the strained ZnO/Al₂O₃(0001) heteroepitaxy.     

Growth of magnetite epitaxial thin films by gas flow sputtering and characterization by FMR

The growth of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) epitaxial thin films on MgO substrates were studied by using gas flow sputtering (GFS). Reflection high‐energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscopy showed that the surfaces of the films obtained at a substrate temperature T_s of 300 °C and oxygen flow rates F_O2 of 0.12 − 0.18 sccm are fairly flat for the film thickness of about 200 nm. The saturation magnetization and resistivity were close to the reported values of Fe₃O₄ for T_s= 300°C and F_O2 = 0.12–0.20sccm. The films obtained at T_s= 300°C and F_O2=0.16 and 0.18 sccm showed Verwey transition, which is persuasive evidence of the formation of Fe₃O₄. The epitaxial relationship of Fe₃O₄(100)//MgO(100) and Fe₃O₄[100]//MgO[100] was confirmed by using ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), and the anisotropy constants and magnetization were obtained by the fitting of resonance‐field versus applied‐field angle curves. © 2007 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Fabrication of Er3+/Pr3+ Co-doped soda-lime glass thin films using RF magnetron sputtering method and optical property characterization

Er^3+/Pr³⁺ co-doped soda-lime glass thin films have been fabricated using RF magnetron sputtering method and their structural and optical properties have been studied. Deposition rate, crystallinity, and composition of glass thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electron probe micro area analysis. Refractive index, birefringence and binding characteristics have been investigated using a prism coupler and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Er³⁺/Pr³⁺ co-doped soda lime glass thin films were prepared by changing substrate temperature (room temp. ∼550^∘C), RF power (90 W–130 W), and Ar/O₂ gas flow ratio at processing pressure of 4 mTorr. Glass thin films could be obtained at the optimized processing condition at 350^∘C, RF power of 130 W, and gas flow of Ar:O₂ = 40:0 with maximum deposition rate of 1.6 μm/h. Refractive index and birefringence increased from 1.5614 to 1.5838 and from 0.000154 to 0.000552, respectively, as the content of Pr³⁺ increased. Binding energy of Pr3d also increased as the content of Pr³⁺ increased.     

Effects of the O2/Ar gas flow ratio on the electrical and transmittance properties of ZnO:Al films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering

ZnO:Al thin films for transparent conductors were deposited on sapphire (0001) substrates by using an RF magnetron sputtering technique. Effects of the O₂/Ar flow ratio in the sputtering process on the crystallinity, carrier concentration, carrier mobility, and transmittance of the films were investigated. The FWHM of the (002) XRD intensity peak is minimal at the O₂/Ar flow ratio of 0.5. According to the Hall measurement results the carrier concentration and mobility of the film decrease and thus the resistivity increases as the O₂/Ar flow ratio increases. The transmittance of the ZnO:Al film deposited on the glass substrate is characteristic of standing wave. The transmittance increases as the O₂/Ar flow ratio in-RF magnetron sputtering increases up to 0.5. Considering the effects of the the O₂/Ar flow ratio on the electrical resistivity and transmittance of the ZnO:Al film the optimum O₂/Ar flow ratio is 0.5 in the RF magnetron sputter deposition of the ZnO:Al film.     

Growth and electrical properties of (211) BaTiO3 thin films on Pt-coated Si(100) substrates

Abstract

Barium titanate (BaTiO₃) thin films with high (211) orientation have been prepared on Pt(111)/Si(100) substrates by R. F. magnetron sputtering at a substrate temperature between 550°C and 580°C in an Ar/O₂ atmosphere. The I-V curve of a thin film capacitor (Ag-BaTiO_3-Pt) has been measured and the C-V curves are obtained for frequencies between 100Hz and 1MHz. Neither the I-V curve nor the C-V curves are symmetrical and a very large change in the slope of all curves is found to occur at ～+0.5v.

Characteristics of Bi4Ti3O12 thin films on ITO/glass and Pt/Si substrates prepared by R.F. sputtering and rapid thermal annealing

Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ thin films are deposited on ITO/glass and Pt/Ti/Si(100) substrates by R.F. magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The films are then heated by a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process conducted in oxygen atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 550–700^∘C. X-ray diffraction examination reveals that the crystalinity of the films grown on Pt/Ti/Si is better than that of the films grown on ITO/glass under the same fabrication conditions. SEM observation shows that the films grown on Pt/Ti/Si are denser than those grown on ITO/glass substrates. Interactive diffusion between the Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ film and the ITO film increases with the increase of annealing temperature. The optical transmittance of the thin film annealed at 650^∘C is found to be almost 100% when the effect of the ITO film is excluded. The relative dielectric constants, leakage currents and polarization characteristics of the two films are compared and discussed.     

Growth and characterization of non-c-axis-oriented SrBi2Ta2O9 epitaxial thin films on Si(100) substrates with SrRuO3 bottom electrodes

Abstract

We have successfully grown non-c-axis-oriented epitaxial ferroelectric SrBi₂Ta₂O₉ (SBT) films with (116) and (103) orientations on Si(100) substrates using epitaxial (110)- and (111)-oriented SrRuO₃ (SRO) bottom electrodes, respectively. The SRO orientations have been induced by coating the Si(100) substrates with epitaxial YSZ(100) and MgO(111)/ YSZ(100) buffer layers, respectively. All films were sequentially grown by pulsed laser deposition. Specific in-plane orientations of the epitaxial SBT films were found, which are in turn determined by specific in-plane orientations of the epitaxial SRO bottom electrodes. These include a diagonal rectangle-on-cube epitaxy of SRO(110) on YSZ(100) and a triangle-on-triangle epitaxy of SRO(111) on MgO(111).     

Film Thickness Dependence of Electrical Properties for Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 Thin Films Prepared on (111)Ir/TiO2/SiO2/Si and (111)Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si Substrates by Pulsed-Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition

Polycrystalline Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) films with various film thicknesses were deposited on (111)Ir/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si and (111)Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si substrates at 540°C by source-gas-pulsed metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (pulsed-MOCVD). PZT films deposited on (111)Ir/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si substrates showed good surface flatness and lower leakage current density. The rate of the decrease of remanent polarization (P _r ) and the rate of increase of coercive field (E _c ) for the films with decreasing the film thickness smaller on (111)Ir/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si substrates than those of (111)Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si substrates. In addition, P _r and E _c values saturated at low voltage when the film thickness was the same. As a result, good ferroelectricity with P _r and E _c values of 40 μC/cm² and 140 kV/cm were obtained for 35 nm-thick films prepared on (111)Ir/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si substrates by pulsed-MOCVD.     

Growth and characterization of epitaxial SrBi2Ta2O9 films on (110) SrTiO3 substrates

Abstract

SrBi₂Ta₂O₉ (SBT) is an attractive material for nonvolatile ferroelectric memory applications. In this paper we report on the deposition of highly epitaxial and smooth SrBi₂Ta₂O₉ films on (110) SrTiO₃substrates. The films were grown by pulsed laser deposition at temperatures ranging from 600 to 800°C and at various laser fluences from a Bi-excess SBT target. The background oxygen pressure was maintained at 28 Pa during the film deposition. Structural characterization of the films was performed by x-ray diffraction. Atomic force microscopy was used to investigate morphology and growth of the films. The films grew with preferred (115) or (116) orientation. The roughness was of the order of unit cell height. The films display a growth pattern resulting in corrugated film morphology.     

Growth and characterisation of lead zirconate titanate (30/70) on indium tin oxide coated glass for oxide ferroelectric-liquid crystal display application

Abstract

The growth and characterisation of sol-gel lead zirconate titanate (PZT) (30/70) thin films on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmitting electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Perovskite crystallised at 550°C in a random orientation, and all films showed characteristic rosette formations. A seeding and crystallisation model has been proposed to describe the rosette formation process, which is based on the ease of PbO diffusion through the film. The effect of drying temperature on annealed film properties has been examined and when optimised has been shown to improve electrical properties and film flatness. Incorporation of the PZT films into small prototype liquid crystal displays has been done. Application of pulsed poling voltages to the displays has resulted in bulk alignment of the liquid crystal adjacent to poled regions of the PZT layer which remained after the poling voltages were removed.
