A. M. Hermann R. M. Yandrofski J. F. Scott A. Naziripour David Galt John C. Price J. Cuchario R. K. Ahrenkiel 《Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism》1994,7(2):463-469
We describe materials deposition and characterization for a broad class of tunable microwave devices using high-temperature oxide superconductor and voltage-tunable oxide ferroelectric thin-film multilayer structures. Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O thin films deposited by sputtering ore-beam evaporation were patterned into microwave resonators, each consisting of two colinear microstrip line sections separated by a 5–20μm gap. A Ba0.1Sr0.9TiO3 (BST) layer was then over-coated to fill the gap. The relative dielectric constant of the BST films deposited by physical vapor or chemical techniques was measured at 77 K in the 1–10 MHz range and found to vary by up to a factor of 2 or more with voltage bias in test capacitor structures using Pt electrodes. In the BST (variable capacitor)-HTSC microwave resonator structures, the change of the relative dielectric constant of the BST under voltage bias has allowed variation of the fundamental frequency of up to 80 MHz in the 5–10 GHz range at 4 K. Film deposition by various techniques and associated structural, morphological, and electronic properties, as well as materials compatibility issues, are discussed. 相似文献

Epitaxial-grown barium-strontium-titanate (BST, Ba0.65Sr0.35TiO3) thin films have been successfully deposited on Pt/MgO (100) substrates using sol-gel techniques. Crack-free 350-nm-thick films were fabricated using a multilayer spinning technique and calcination at 650°C in oxygen for 1 hr. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that (001) planes of BST films were mainly laid parallel to Pt (100) and MgO (100). The dielectric constant and dissipation factor for BST thin films at a frequency of 10 kHz were 480 and 0.02, respectively. The results of the temperature-dependence of the dielectric constant and dissipation factor showed that sol-gel–derived BST films had Curie temperatures of about 35°C and diffused ferroelectric phase transition characteristics. The leakage current density through the BST films was about 2.75 × 10–7 A/cm2 at an applied voltage of 3 V. The BST films exhibited a well-saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop with remnant polarization P
r = 2.8 C/cm2 and coercive field E

Conductive SrRuO3 (SRO) thin films have been grown on (100) MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. Effects of oxygen pressure
and deposition temperature on the orientation of SRO thin film were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) θ/2θ patterns and
the temperature dependent resistivity measurements indicated that oxygen pressure of 30 Pa and deposition temperature of 700 °C
were the optimized deposition parameters. A parallel-plate capacitor structure was prepared with the SRO films deposited under
optimized condition as an electrode layer and Ba0.60Sr0.40TiO3 (BST) thin film as the dielectric layer. XRD Φ scans indicated a
epitaxial relationship between BST and SRO on MgO substrate. The dielectric constant and loss tangent measured at 10 kHz
and 300 K was 427 and 0.099 under 0 V bias, and 215 and 0.062 under 8 V bias, respectively. A tunability of 49.6% has been
achieved with DC bias as low as 8 V. The C–V hysteresis curve and the P–E hysteresis loop suggested that the BST films epitaxially grown on SRO/MgO have ferroelectricity at room temperature. The
induced ferroelectricity was believed to originate from the compressive strain between the epitaxial BST and SRO thin films.
These results show the potential application of the BST/SRO heterostructures in microelectronic devices. 相似文献

(Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 thin films were deposited by r.f.-magnetron sputtering on Pt/Ti/Si, Pt/TiSi2/Si and Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates, respectively, and annealed at 650 C for 30s by Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA). XRD (X-ray diffraction) patterns revealed that the BST films had perovskite structure without preferred orientation. Auger depth profiles of barium-strontium titanate (BST) films on various substrates were performed. In the Pt/Ti/Si and Pt/TiSi2/Si structures, Si diffused into the BST film, but in the Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si structure, the diffusion of Si into the BST film was prevented and the interface between the BST film and the electrode was stable. The dielectric constants were about 310–260 (100 kHz–1 MHz). 相似文献

BaxSr1–xTiO3 (BST) thin films have been deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering on silicon and platinum-coated silicon substrates with different buffer and barrier layers. Electrical properties of BST films have been evaluated using both metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) and metal–insulator–metal (MIM) structures. MIS capacitor C–V and G–V characteristics have been utilized to determine the fixed charge density, interface trap density and the trap distribution in the silicon bandgap. BST films deposited on Si/SiO2/SiN/Pt and Si/SiO2/Ti/TiN/Pt multilayer bottom electrodes have been used for the fabrication of MIM capacitors. The role of bottom electrode, processing temperature and Ba to Sr ratio on the electrical properties of BaxSr1–xTiO3 films have been investigated. Current–voltage behavior has indicated an ohmic nature at lower voltages and Poole–Frenkel conduction at higher voltages. Deposited films have shown an excellent time-dependent dielectric breakdown under constant-current stressing. 相似文献

AlN films were deposited on p-Si(1 1 1) substrates by a low-pressure metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system and an Al–AlN–Si (MIS) capacitor was then prepared with the AlN layer as the insulator. With the capacitance–voltage (C–V) curves of Al–AlN–Si capacitors measured at 50 Hz–10 MHz, we found the frequency dependence of the capacitance of the accumulation region, that is, the capacitance of the AlN layer. It is observed that the relative dielectric constant (r) of AlN declined from 20.7 to 1.2 with increasing frequency. The peak of dielectric loss tangent (tan ) was observed at a frequency of 1.5 MHz. With the Debye equation and the Cole–Cole empirical formula, the relaxation time () was fitted to be about 10–7 s. From these results and works of others, it was concluded that this dielectric behavior was caused by dipolar relaxation relating to N vacancies in the AlN layer. 相似文献

Radio-frequency-sputtered barium titanium silicate (BST, Ba2Si2TiO8) thin films were grown on crystalline Si (100) substrates and were characterized using wavelength-dispersive spectrometry (WDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and diagonal techniques for dielectric properties. The chemical compositions of the films increasingly deviated from stoichiometry with film thickness. At the initial stage of deposition the grain configuration is dependent on the Si substrate texture. XRD analysis indicates that the BST films deposited at an optimum substrate temperature of 845 °C were strongly c-axis oriented, and that the film orientation is manipulated by substrate temperature and supersaturation. The corresponding film-growth rate in the direction normal to the film surface at 845 °C was 1.95 nm min–1 at the initial stage, and decreased with sputtering time. The as-deposited films have a room-temperature bulk resistivity of 1.8 ×107 m in the direction of thickness and an isotropic surface resistivity of 1.5×103 m. The high-frequency relative dielectric constant, 0.05 at frequencies higher than 9 MHz, is lower than that of many typical piezoelectric materials. The high-frequency impedance character is typical of piezoelectric materials, giving a minimum impedance frequency of 9.0 MHz and a serial resonant frequency at about 9.5 MHz. 相似文献

Pure and 2 mol% Mn doped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films have been deposited on La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) coated single-crystal (001) oriented LaAlO3 substrates using pulsed-laser deposition technique. The bilayer films of BST and LSMO were epitaxially grown in pure single-oriented perovskite phases for both samples, and an enhanced crystallization effect in the BST film was obtained by the addition of Mn, which were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and in situ reflective high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) analyses. The dielectric properties of the BST thin films were measured at 100 kHz and 300 K with a parallel-plate capacitor configuration. The results have revealed that an appropriate concentration acceptor doping is very effective to increase dielectric tunability, and to reduce loss tangent and leakage current of BST thin films. The figure-of-merit (FOM) factor value increases from 11 (undoped) to 40 (Mn doped) under an applied electric field of 200 kV/cm. The leakage current density of the BST thin films at a negative bias field of 200 kV/cm decreases from 2.5 × 10− 4 A/cm2 to 1.1 × 10− 6 A/cm2 by Mn doping. Furthermore, a scanning-tip microwave near-field microscope has been employed to study the local microwave dielectric properties of the BST thin films at 2.48 GHz. The Mn doped BST film is more homogeneous, demonstrating its more potential applications in tunable microwave devices. 相似文献

We studied the structural and optical properties of (Ba, Sr)TiO3 (BST) films deposited on the transparent substrates at various temperatures of 350–650°C and annealed at 450–650°C. Improved crystallization can be observed on 650°C annealed film whose substrate temperature is 350°C. The refractive index increased from 2.17 to 2.59 at =410 nm for the BST films deposited at 350–650°C and it varied from 2.17 to 2.25 after annealing up to 650°C. In addition, the refractive-index dispersion data related to the short-range-order structure of BST films obeyed the single-oscillation energy model. The indirect energy gap of the films deposited on Al2O3 and quartz substrates was found to be about 3.5 eV. According to the analysis of reflectance data, the optical inhomogeneity of films can be reduced by depositing the films at intermediate temperatures 450–550°C. 相似文献

Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) and 1.5 at% Y-doped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (Y-BST) thin films have been deposited on single-crystal (100) oriented LaAlO3 substrates using pulsed-laser deposition technique (PLD), respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning revealed that the
two kinds of films could be epitaxially grown in pure single-oriented perovskite phases, but Y-BST thin films showed an enhanced
crystallization effect. The dielectric properties of the pure and Y-BST thin films were measured at 10 kHz and 300 K with
a parallel-plate capacitor configuration. The results revealed that the addition of Y as an acceptor doping is very effective
to increase dielectric tunability, and to reduce leakage current of BST thin films. The figure-of-merit (FOM) factor value
increases from 17.32 for BST to 25.84 for Y-BST under an applied electric field of 300 kV/cm. The leakage current density
of the BST thin films at a negative bias field of 300 kV/cm decreases from 2.45 × 10−4 A/cm2 to 1.55 × 10−6 A/cm2 by Y doping. The obtained results indicated that the Y-doped BST thin film is a promising candidate material for tunable
microwave devices. 相似文献
