Abstract

The epitaxial $KTa_{0.524}Nb_{0.446}Ti_{0.03}O_3$ films with 3% Ti were investigated. Titanium (+4) substitution on the Nb/Ta site should reduce dielectric losses of KTN: Ti film by introducing an acceptor state. This acceptor state traps electrons due to oxygen vacancies that form during oxide film growth. KTN:Ti films were grown using pulsed laser deposition, and then annealed at different temperatures in oxygen ambient. The crystallinity, and surface morphology of KTN:Ti film were investigated using x-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy. The dielectric properties of Ti doped KTN films measured for unannealed and annealed films will be reported. Tunability and dielectric loss of as-deposited KTN:Ti film were determined to be 10% and 0.0134, respectively. For films annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$, the dielectric loss decreased but with a decrease in tunability as well.
