The SBT($SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$) thin films with $Bi_2O_3$ buffer layer were deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by R.F. magnetron sputtering method in order to improve the ferroelectric characteristics. In SBT thin films, the deficiency of bismuth during the process due to its volatility results in an obvious non stoichiometry of the films and the presence of secondary phases. $Bi_2O_3$ buffer layer was found to be effective to achieve the low temperature crystallization and improve the ferroelectric properties of SBT thin films. Ferroelectric properties and crystallinities of SBT thin films with various post annealing of $Bi_2O_3$ buffer layer were observed as various annealing temperature, using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Keithley 237 and HP 4192A Impedance Analyzer.

Highly (h00)-oriented (Ba, Sr)TiO$_3$(BST) thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on the perovskite LaNiO$_3$(LNO) metallic oxide layer as a bottom electrode. The LNO films were deposited on SiO$_2$/Si substrates by rf-magnetron sputtering method. The crystalline phases of the BST film were characterized by x-ray $\theta$-2$\theta$, $\omega$-rocking curve and $\psi$-scan diffraction measurements. The surface microsturcture observed by scanning electron microscopy was very dense and smooth. The low-frequency dielectric responses of the BST films grown at various substrate temperatures were measured as a function of frequency in the frequency range from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz. The BST films have the dielectric constant of 265 at 1 kHz and showed multiple dielectric relaxation at the low frequency region. The origin of these low-frequency dielectric relaxation are attributed to the ionized space charge carriers such as the oxygen vacancies and defects in BST film, the interfacial polarization in the grain boundary region and the electrode polarization. We studied also on the capacitance-voltage characteristics of BST films.

($Ba_x$$Sr_{1-x}$)$TiO_3$ (x=0.9, 0.7, 0.5)박막을 졸-겔법으로 ITO-coated glass기판 위에 제조하였다. BST의 perov-skite상 생성온도는 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상이며 Sr함량이 증가할수록, $Ba^{2+}$ 이온보다 작은 $Sr^{2+}$ 이온에 의해 perovskite상들의 피크가 높은 회절 각도로 이동하였다. 그리고 온도가 증가할수록 결정립은 조대화 되었고, Sr 함량이 증가할수록 결정립은 미세화 되었다. BST(50/50)의 유전상수 값은 다른 두 조성보다 큰 값을 나타내고 유전손실 값은 더 낮았다. 1 kHz때의 BST(50/50)박막의 유전상수 및 유전손실 값은 각각 652와 0.042였다.

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).

Variations of the leakage current behaviors and interface potential barrier $({\Phi}_B)$ of rf-sputter deposited (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ (BST) thin films with thicknesses ranging from 20 nm to 150nm are investigated as a function of the thickness and bias voltages. The top and bottom electrodes are dc-sputter-deposited Pt films. ${\Phi}_B$ critically depends on the BST film deposition temperature, postannealing atmosphere and time after the annealing. The postannealing under $N_2$ atmosphere results in a high interface potential barrier height and low leakage current. Maintaining the BST capacitor in air for a long time reduces the ${\Phi}_B$ from about 2.4 eV to 1.6 eV due to the oxidation. ${\Phi}_B$ is not so dependent on the film thickness in this experimental range. The leakage conduction mechanism is very dependent on the BST film thickness; the 20 nm thick film shows tunneling current, 30 and 40 nm thick films show Shottky emission current.

High Tc superconducting YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ thin films were prepared on various substrates by off-axis rf magnetron sputtering method to examine the substrate effects on the film structure and its R-T characteristics. The SEM analysis showed that the surface morphology of the grown YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O.sub 7-x/, film has different characteristic structure with different substrate used. The film on (100) SrTiO$_{3}$ substrate has critical current density of 3*10$^{5}$ A/cm$^{2}$ at 77K under zero magnetic field. The X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the films on (100) SrTiO$_{3}$ substrate have mixed a-axis and c-axis normal to the substrate surface and the films on (100) MgO and ZrO$_{2}$/sapphire substrates have c-axis normal orientation to the substrate surface. However, YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ films on (100) sapphire substrates showed no preferential orientation.ion.

The perovskite ferroelectric materials of the PZT, SBT and BST series will attract much attention for application to ULSI devices. Among these materials, the BST ($Ba_0.6$$Sr_0.4$/$TiO_3$) is widely considered the most promising for use as an insulator in the capacitors of DRAMS beyond 1 Gbit and high density FRAMS. Especially, BST thin films have a good thermal-chemical stability, insulating effect and variety of Phases. However, BST thin films have problems of the aging effect and mismatch between the BST thin film and electrode. Also, due to the high defect density and surface roughness at grain boundarys and in the grains, which degrades the device performances. In order to overcome these weakness, we first applied the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to the polishing of ferroelectric film in order to obtain a good planarity of electrode/ferroelectric film interface. BST ferroelectric film was fabricated by the sol-gel method. And then, we compared the surface characteristics before and after CMP process of BST films. We expect that our results will be useful promise of global planarization for FRAM application in the near future.

졸-겔법을 이용하고 금속 나프테네이트를 출발원료로 사용하여 $SrTiO_3$(100), $LaA1O_3$(100) 및 MgO(100) 기판 위에 에피탁샬 $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ 박막을 제조하였다. 코팅된 전구막은 $500^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 전열처리 하였고, $750^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 최종 열처리를 행하였다. 박막의 결정화도는 X-선회절 분석법 ($\theta$-2$\theta$ 스캔과 $\beta$ 스캔)으로 조사하였고, 표면 미세구조와 거칠기를 field emission-scanning electron microscope와 atomic force microscope를 이용하여 각각 분석하였다. MgO(100) 기판 위에 제조한 박막은 모든 기판 중에서 가장 낮은 결정화도와 면내 배향성을 보였다. 가장 낮은 결정화도와 배향성을 보인 MgO(100) 기판위의 박막은 침상 형태로 성장한 반면, 결정성과 배향성이 좋은 $LaA1O_3$(100)과 $SrTiO_3$(100) 기판위의 박막들은 원형의 입자 성장 형태를 보이고 있었다.

The Pb(Zr/sub 0.52/Ti/sub 0.48/)O₃/(Ba/sub 0.6/Sr/sub 0.4/)TiO₃[PZT/BST] heterolayered thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates by using the RF sputtering method with different RF power. The PZT/BST heterolayered thin films had the tetragonal structure of the PZT phase and BST phase. Increasing the RF power. the intensity of the PZT (100), (110) peaks and BST (111) peaks were decreased and the intensity of the BST (100), (110) peaks were increased. The thickness ratio of the top layered BST thin film and the bottom layered PZT thin film was 2 to1. The atomic concentration of the Ba, Sr, Pb. Zr, Ti atoms were constant in the PZT thin films and BST thin films, respectively. The Pt atom was diffused to the PZT region in the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films deposited at condition of 60[W] RF power. Increasing the frequency, dielectric constant and loss of the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films were decreased. The dielectric constant and loss of the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films deposited with RF power of 90[W] were 406 and 3%, respectively.

BaO, SrCI2.6H2O 그리고 Ti(OPri)4를 출발 원료로 사용하여 균일한 BaxSr1-xTiO3(BST) 솔을 합성하였고, BST 박막을 회전 코팅 법으로 Si 및 Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si 기판위에 제조하였다. 적외선 및 NMR 스펙트럼 분석으로 킬레이션 조제로 사용한 acetylacetone(AcAc)이 엔올 형태로 Ti-알콕사이드와 결합하여 솔 안정화에 기여함을 확인하였다. Xedrogel에 대한 DT/TGA 및 적외선 스펙트럼 결과로부터 페로브스카이트 상생성이 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 이루어짐을 관찰하였다. $700^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 박마은 -300(10 KHz)의 상대유전율을 나타내었고, 결정립의 저항 및 입계의 병렬 RC 성분으로 등가회로를 구성할 수 있었다.
