Abstract
We fabricated the $Pb_{0.72}La_{0.28}TiO_3$ (PLT(28)) thin film successfully by using the sol-gel method and characterized it to evaluate its potential for being utilized as the capacitor dielectrics of ULSI DRAMs. In our sol-gel process, the acetates were used as the starting materials. Through the TGA-DTA analysis, we established the excellent fabrication conditions of the sol-gel method for the PLT(28) thin film. We obtained the dense and crack-free PLT(28) thin film of $100\%$ perovskite phase by drying at $350^{\circ}C$ after each coating and final annealing at $650^{\circ}C$. Electrical properties of PLT(28) thin film were measured through formation on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate and its dielectric constant and leakage current density were measured as 936 and $1.1{\mu}A/cm^2$, respectively.
