Abstract

The ($Sr_{1-x}Ca_x)TiO_3(SCT)$ thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode (Pt/TiN/SiO$_{2}$Si) using RF sputtering method with substitutional contents of Ca. The optimum conditions of RF power and Ar/O$_{2}$ ratio were 140(W) and 80/20, respectively. Deposition rate of SCT thin film was about $18.75{\AA}$/min. The dielectric constant was increased with increasing the substitutional contents of Ca, while it was decreased if the substitutional contents of Ca exceeded over $15[mol\%]$. The capacitance characteristics had a stable value within $\pm4[\%]$ in temperature ranges of $-80\~+90[^{\circ}C]$. All SCT thin films used in this study show the phenomena of dielectric relaxation with the increase of frequency, and the relaxation frequency is observed above 200[kHz].
