The thin films of high permitivity in ferroelectric materials using a capacitor are applied to DRAMs and FRAMs. (Ba, Sr)TiO$_3$ thin films as ferroelectric materials were prepared by the sol-gel method and made by spin-coating on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate at 4,700 [rpm] for 10 seconds. The devices of BST thin films to composite (Ba$\_$0.7/Sr$\_$0.3/)TiO$_3$ were fabricated by changing of the depositing layer number on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate. The thin film capacitor to be ferroelectric devices was investigated by structural and electrical properties. The thickness of BST thin films at each coating numbers 3, 4 and 5 times was 2500[${\AA}$], 3500[${\AA}$], 3800[${\AA}$]. The dielectric factor of thin film when the coating numbers were 3, 4 and 5 times was 190, 400 and 460 on frequency 1[MHz]. The dielectric loss of BST thin film was linearly increased by increasing of the specimen area.

In the present study, we fabricated stoichiometric $(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)TiO_3$ thin films at various substrate temperature and contents using of magnetron sputtering method on optimized Pt-based electrodes (Pt/TiN/$SiO_2$/Si). The substate temperature deposited at 200[ $^{\circ}C$], 400[$^{\circ}C$] and 600[$^{\circ}C$] and crystalline BST thin films show above 400[$^{\circ}C$]. Also, the composition of $(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)TiO_3$ thin films deposited on Si wafer substrate at 400[$^{\circ}C$] were closed to stoichiometry($1.015{\sim}1.093$ in A/B ratio), but compositional deviation from a stoichiometry is larger as $SrCO_3$ is added. The drastic decrease of dielectric constant and increase of dielectric loss in $(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)TiO_3$thin films is observed above 100[kHz]. V-I characteristics of $(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)TiO_3$ thin films show the decrease of leakage current with the increase of $SrCO_3$ contents.

The variation of electrical properties of (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ [BST] thin films for Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) capacitors was investigated. BST thin films were deposited on p-Si(100) substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering with temperature range of 500~$600^{\circ}C$. The dielectric properties of MIS capacitors consisting of AUBST/$SiO_2$/Si sandwich structure were measured for various conditions. We examined the characteristics of MIS capacitor with various oxygen pressure, substrate temperature and (Ba+Sr)/Ti ratio. It was found that the leakage current was reduced in MIS capacitor with high quality $SiO_2$ layer was grown on bare p-Si substrate by thermal oxidation. The BST MIS structure showed relatively high capacitance even though it is the combination of high-dielectric BST thin films and $SiO_2$ layer. The charge state densities of the MIS capacitors and Current-voltage characteristics of the MIS capacitor were investigated. By applying $SiO_2$ layer between BST thin films and Si substrate, low leakage current of $10^{-10}$ order was observed.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of distributed analog phase shifter circuit. The phase shifter consist of coplanar waveguide(CPW) lines that are periodically loaded with voltage tunable (Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$ thin film interdigital(IDT) capacitors deposited by the pulsed laser deposition(PLD) on (001) MgO single crystals. The phase velocity on these IDT loaded CPW lines is a function of applied bias voltage, thus resulting in analog phase shifting circuits. The measured differential phase shift is 48$^{\circ}$ and the insertion loss decreases from -5㏈ to -3㏈ with increasing bias voltage from 0 to 40 V at 100㎐.

Ba0.65Sr0.35TiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited on Pt/SiO2/Si(100) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering. The substrate temperature changed from 35$0^{\circ}C$ to 55$0^{\circ}C$ and crystalline BST thin films were deposited above 45$0^{\circ}C$. Most of the films had (111) preferred orientation regardless of deposition temperature, but the films changed to (100) preferred orientation as gas pressure increased. The dielectric constant increased with increasing substrate temperature and film thickness, and ranged from 100 to 600 at room temperature. The leakage current increased as substrate temperature increased or as film thickness decreased.

In this paper, we described the effect of rapid thermal annealing on the electrical properties of interfacial layer between various top electrodes and $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ thin films. BST thin films were fabricated on Pt/TiN/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by RF magnetron sputtering technique. AI, Ag, and Cu films for the formation of top electrode were deposited on BST thin films by thermal evaporator. Top electrodes/BST/Pt capacitor annealed with rapid thermal annealing at various temperature. In $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ thin films with Cu top electrode annealed at $500^{\circ}C$, the dielectric constant was measured to the value of 366 at 1.2 [kHz] and the leakage current was obtained to the value of $5.85{\times}10^{-7}\;[A/cm^2}$ at the forward bias of 2 [V].

We investigated the structural and electrical properties of Ce-doped Ba($Zr_{0.2}Ti_{0.8}$)$O_3$(BCZT) thin films with a mole fraction of x=0.2 and a thickness about 100 nm. BCZT films were prepared on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by a RF magnetron sputtering system. We have measured the thickness profile with Ar/$O_2$ ratio and the surface roughness. It was observed that the oxygen gas, which introduced during the film deposition, have an influence on the roughness of the film and the film roughness was reduced by annealing from 2.33 nm to 2.02 m (RMS at $500^{\circ}C$, Ar:6 scrim, $O_2$:6 sccm). We have found that annealing procedure after top electrode deposit can reduce the dissipation factor.

Ba$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$TiO$_3$타겟을 이용 Pt/Ti/SiO/Si 기판 위에 R.F magnetron sputtering 방법으로 BST 박막을 증착하여 다양한 열처리 조건에 따른 BST 박막의 전기적 성질(정전용량, 누설전류)에 대해 박막의 결정성과 미세구조의 연관성에 대하여 연구하였다. BST 박막의 유전상수는 grain size에 영향 받으며, 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 유전상수는 증가함을 보였고 온도에 따른 누설전류는 저전압 영역에서는 Hopping conduction, 고전압 영역에서는 Schottky conduction mechanism을 따르는 것으로 나타났다.

Thin film Ba$^{0.7}Sr^{0.3}TiO^{3}$ (BST) capacitors were fabricated on SiO$_{2}$/Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method and characterized at microwave frequencies ranging from 40 MHz to 1GHz to examine the dielectric dispersion of the capacitors. The BST thin films were electrode material of BST thin films capacitor which is known as one of the best electrode materials for BST films. 50$\AA$-thick titanium (Ti) layers were introduced to increase adhesion between bottom Pt and SiO$_{2}$. The leakage current density of the capacitors was about 1.7${\times}10^{7}A/cm^{2}$ at 1.5V and the dielectric constant was about 140 at 1MHz. Microwave measurement patterns having a coplanar waveguide type were fabricated and their S parameters were measured using network analyzer. After de-embedding parasitic components in microwave measurement patterns nearly frequency-invariant dielectric constant of about 120 was extracted in the measurement range of 40 MHz to 1 GHz.
