Abstract

비휘발성 메모리 소자로의 응용의 관점에서, sol-gel 방법으로 La 을 10mo1% 로 고정시킨 PLZT (10/y/z) 박막을 제작하여 Zr/Ti 조성비에 따른 구조적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. PLZT(10/40/60) 박막은 로제트와 파이로클로르 상이 관찰되었으며, Zr/Ti 조성비에서 Ti 함유량이 증가함에 따라, (100) 배향성, 결정립 크기와 표면 거칠기는 증가되었다. 또한 Zr/Ti 조성비에서 Ti 함유량이 증가함에 따라, 10㎑ 에서 비유전율은 600 에서 400 으로 감소된 반면, 유전손실은 0.028 에서 0.053 로 증가되었으며, 170 ㎸/cm 에서 누설전류밀도는 1.64×$10^{-6}$ 에서 1.26×$10^{-7}$A/㎠ 으로 감소되었다. 그리고 ± 170㎸/㎝ 에서 측정한 PLZT 박막의 이력곡선을 측정한 결과, Zr/Ti 조성비가 40/60 에서 0/100 로 변화함에 따라 PLZT 박막의 잔류분극과 항전계는 6.62 에서 12.86 μC/cm2, 32.15 에서 56.45㎸/㎝ 로 각각 증가되었으며, 피로와 retention 특성 역시 개선되었다. PLZT 박막에 ±5V 의 사각펄스를 $10^9$ 회 인가하여 피로특성을 측정한 결과, PLZT(10/40/60) 박막의 잔류분극은 초기분극값으로부터 50% 감소된 반면, PLZT(10/0/100) 박막은 30% 감소되었다. 또, $10^5$ 초의 retention 결과에서 PLZT(10/0/100) 박막은 초기분극값에서 오직 11% 만이 감소된 반면, PLZT(10/40/60) 박막은 40% 감소되었다.
