| Abstract: | Abstract Ba1-x SrxTiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited by reactive rf-magnetron sputtering onto Si substrates. The influence of the deposition parameters such as temperature and oxygen ambient on the dielectric constant of the films is presented. BST films deposited at 450°C and optimum conditions exhibited a dielectric constant of approximately 200 at frequencies as high as 1GHz. In addition, the films were found to have leakage current densities of <0.1μAmp/cm2 at fields of 5×105V/cm. An extrapolated lifetime greater than 10 years was obtained from stress tests at elevated temperatures and fields. These films compared favorably with published data. |
