Abstract

(Ba,Sr)TiO3(BST) thin film is an attractive material for the application in high-density dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) because of the high relative dielectric constant and small variation in dielectric properties with frequency. In this study, (Ba0.6,Sr0.4)TiO3 thin films on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates were deposited by a sol-gel method and the CF4/Ar inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching behavior of BST thin films had been investigatedby varying the process parameters such as chamber pressure, ICP power, and substrate bias voltage. To analysis the composition of surface residue following etching BST films etched with different Ar/CF4 gas mixing ratio were investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS).
