The Electric Conductivity $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$ Capacitors using Rf Magnetron Sputtering Technique

The $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$ thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/$TiO_2/SiO_2$/Si) using RF magnetron sputtering method. The ferroelectric properties of SBT capacitors with annealing temperatures were studied. Through the x-ray diffraction analysis and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it could be observed that crystallization of the SBT thin film started around $650^{\circ}C$ and complete crystallization was accomplished around $750^{\circ}C$ and grains grew from a small spheric form to rod-like. For the leakage current density of the SBT capacitor depending upon various annealing atmospheres, capacitor annealed in the oxygen atmosphere showed the most excellent characteristic, and they were respectively about $2.13\times10^{-9}[A/cm^2]$ at 5V and 340.
