In this study, (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ thin films were etched with a magnetically enhanced inductively coupled plasma (MEICP) as a function $CF_4$/Ar gas mixing ratio. Experimental was done by varying the etching parameters such as rf power, dc bias and chamber pressure. The maximum etch rate of the BST films was $1700{\AA}$/min under $CF_4/(CF_4+Ar)$ of 0.1, 600W/350V and 5 mTorr. The selectivity of BST to Pt and PR was 0.6, 0.7, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies shows that there are surface reaction between Ba, Sr, Ti and C, F radicals during the (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ etching. To analysis the composition of surface residue remaining after the etching, films etched with different $CF_4$/Ar gas mixing ratio were investigated using XPS.

[ $(Bi_{1/2}Na_{1/2})TiO_3$ ](BNT) is considered to be an excellent candidate for the key material of lead-free piezoelectric ceramic due to properties of strong ferroelectricity with a relatively large remanent polarization $Pr=38{\mu}C/cm^2$, and a large coercive field, Ec=73KV/cm. In this study, electrical properties of pressure sensor using a $0.96Bi_{0.5}(Na_{0.84}K_{0.16})_{0.5}TiO_3+0.04SrTiO_3+0.2wt%La_2O_3$ ceramics are investigated. Resonant frequency of pressure sensor was decreased with increasing pressure. However, its anti-resonant frequency was increased with increasing pressure.

Ferroelectric $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.1}Ta_{2.0}O_9$ thin films with 200 nm thicknesses were deposited on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by liquid delivery MOCVD process. In these experiments, $Sr(TMHD)_2{\cdot}pmdeta,\; Bi(ph)_3$ and $Ta(O^i/Pr)_4(TMHD)$ were used as precursors, which were dissolved in n-butyl acetate and pentamethyldiethylenetriamine. Substrate temperature and reactor pressure of this experiment was $570^{\circ}C$and 5 Torr, respectively. The remanent polarization value (2Pr) of SBT thin film with annealed at $780^{\circ}C$was$7.247{\mu}C/cm^2$and$8.485 {\mu}C/cm^2$by applying 3 V and 5 V, respectively.

Bi-layered SrBi2Ta2O9(SBT) films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si sibstrates by rf magnetron sputt-ering at room temperature and then were annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$, 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 85$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in oxygen at-mosphere. The film composition of SrBi2Ta2O9 was obtained after depositing at room temperature and annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$. Excess 20mole% Bi2O3 and 30 mole% SrCO3 were added to the target to compensate for the lack of Bi and Sr in SBT film. 200 nm thick SBT film exhibited and dense microstructure, adielectric constant of 210, and a dissipation factor of 0.05 at 1 MHz frequency. The films exhibited Curie temperature of 32$0^{\circ}C$ and a dielectric constant of 314 at that temperature under 100 kHz frequency. The remanent polarization(2Pr) and the coercive field(2Ec) of the SBT films were 9.1 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 85 kV/cm at an applied voltage of 3V, resspectively and the SBT film showed a fatigue-free characteristics up to 1010 cy-cles under 5V bipolar pulse. The leakage current density of the SBT film was about 7$\times$10-7A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 150 kV/cm. Fatigue-free SBT films prepared by rf magnetron sputtering can be suitable for application to non-volatile memory device.

Ferroelectric (Ba, Sr) TiO$_3$(BST) thin films have attracted much attention for use in new capacitor materials of dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). In order to apply BST to the DRAMs, the etching process for BST thin film with high etch rate and vertical profile must be developed. However, the former studies have the problem of low etch rate. In this study, in order to increase the etch rate, BST thin films were etched with a magnetically enhanced inductively coupled plasma(MEICP) that have much higher plasma density than RIE (reactive ion etching) and ICP (inductively coupled plasma). Experiment was done by varying the etching parameters such as CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+Ar) gas mixing ratio, rf power, dc bias voltage and chamber pressure. The maximum etch rate of the BST films was 170nm/min under CF$_4$/CF$_4$+Ar) of 0.1, 600 W/-350 V and 5 mTorr. The selectivities of BST to Pt and PR were 0.6 and 0.7, respectively. Chemical reaction and residue of the etched surface were investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS).

High dielectric (Ba, Sr) TiO$_3$ thin films were etched in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as a function of Cl$_2$/Ar mixing ration. Under Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80), the maximum etch rate of the BST films was 400 $\AA$/mim and selectivities of BST to Pt and PR were obtained 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. Etching products were redeposited on the surface of BST and resulted in varying the nature of crystallinity. Therefore, we investigated the etched surface of BST by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). From the result of XPS analysis, we found that residues of Ba-Cl and Ti-Cl bonds remained on the surface of the etched BST for high boiling point. The morphology of the etched surfact was analyzed by AFM. A smoothsurface(roughness ~2.8nm) ws observed under Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80), rf power of 600 W, dc bias voltage of -250 V and pressure of 10 mTorr. This changed the nature of the crystallinity of BST. From the result of XRD analysis, the crystallinities of the etched BST film under Ar only and Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80) were maintained as similar to as-deposited BST. However, intensity of BST(100) orientation under Cl$_2$ only plasma was abruptly decreased. This indicated that CI compounds were redeposited on the etched BST surface and resulted in changed of the crystallinity of BST during the etch process.

Sr0.9Bi2+xTa2O9(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) thin films on IrO2/SiO2/Si or Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate were prepared by spin coating method using SBT stock solutions synthesized by MOD process. SBT thin films on IrO2 transformed to layered perovskite phase at $700^{\circ}C$, but showed low breakdown voltage due to their porous microstructure. The smaple of Sr0.9Bi2+xTa2O9 composition showed the best dielectric and electrical properties. When the sample of the same composition was annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$, the dielectric and electric properties were improved due to the grian growth and dense surface. the remanent polarization values(2Pr) at $\pm$3 V for IrO2 and Pt electrodes were 10.5, 7.15$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The SBT thin film with IrO2 electrode showed the lower coercive field. The leakage current density and breakdown voltage of SBT thin films on IrO2 were higher than those on Pt.
