Abstract

Microstructures of tantalum oxide, anodic-oxidized in oxalic acid, are shown to be related to voltage-time characteristics during formation reaction. It is observed that a crystalline phase transformed from an amorphous phase is recrystallized in the presence of the high electric field within the film, and this recrystallized film has a very porous microstructure. From the results of the XRD, the nonlinearity observed after the first spark voltage is recognized to be due to the local crystallization.
