  • 비휘발성 메모리 Fe-RAM은 빠른 정보처리 속도와 전원공급이 차단되었을 때도 계속 정보를 유지할 수 있는 비휘발성 특징과 더불어 저전압, 저전력 구동의 장점이 있어서, 차세대 메모리로 많은 주목을 받고 있다. FeRAM에 사용되는 강유전체는 주로 Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$가 적용되었는데, 최근에는 비납계 강유전체의 연구도 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 비납계 강유전체 중에서 가장 특성이 우수한 물질은 $(Bi,La)_4Ti_3O_{12}$ (BLT) 이다. 그런데 BLT는 결정 방향에 따른 강한 이방성의 강유전 특성을 나타내기 때문에 BLT 박막을 이용하여 Fe-RAM 소자 등을 제작하기 위해서는 결정의 방향성을 세심하게 제어하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 지금까지 연구된 BLT 박막의 방향성 조절결과를 보면, BLT 박막을 스핀 코팅 법 (spin coating method)으로 증착하고, 핵생성 열처리 단계를 조절하여 무작위 방향성을 갖는 박막을 제조하는 방법이 일반적이었다. 그런데 이러한 스핀 코팅법에서의 핵생성 단계의 제어는 공정 조건 확보가 너무 어려운 단점이 있다. 이러한 어려움을 극복할 수 있는 대안은 스퍼터링 증착법(sputtering deposition method), PLD (pulsed laser deposition)법 등과 같은 PVD (physical vapor deposition) 법의 증착방법을 적용하는 것이다. PVD 법으로 증착하는 경우에는 이미 박막 내에 무수한 결정핵이 존재하기 때문에 핵생성 단계가 필요가 없게 된다. PVD 증착법의 적용을 위해서는 타겟의 제조 및 평가 실험이 선행되어야 한다. 그런데 벌크 BLT 재료의 소결공정 조건과 전기적 특성에 관한 연구 결과는 거의 발표가 되지 않고 있다. 본 실험에서는 $Bi_2O_3,\;TiO_2,\;La_2O_3,\;Nb_2O_5\;and\;Al_2O_3$ 분말들을 이용하여 최적의 조성을 구하기 위하여 $Nb^{+5}$$Al^{+3}$$Ti^{+4}$ 자리에 소량 치환시켜 제조하였다. 혼합된 분말을 하소 후 pellet 형태로 성형하여 소결을 실시하였다. 시편을 1mm 두께로 연마하고, 양면에 silver 전극을 인쇄하여 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. 측정결과 $Ti^{+4}$ 자리에 $Nb^{+5}$를 치환하여 제조한 시편에서 $2P_r{\sim}31\;{\mu}c/cm^2$정도의 매우 우수한 특성을 얻었다.

  • Bismuth titanate ($Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$, BIT) thin film has been studied intensively in the past decade due to its large remanent polarization, low crystallization temperature, and high Curie temperature. Substitution of various trivalent rare-earth cations (such as $La^{3+}$, $Nd^{3+}$, $Sm^{3+}$ and $Pr^{3+}$) in the BIT structure is known to improve its ferroelectric properties, such as remanent polarization and fatigue characteristics. Among them, neodymuim-substituted bismuth titanate, ((Bi, Nd)$_4Ti_3O_{12}$, BNT) has been receiving much attention due to its larger ferroelectricity. In this study, Ferroelectric $Bi_{3.3}Nd_{0.7}Ti_3O_{12}$ thin films were successfully fabricated by liquid delivery MOCVD process onto Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(l00) substrates. Fabricated polycrystailine BNT thin films were found to be random orientations, which were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope analyses. The remanent polarization of these films increased with increase in annealing temperature. And the film also demonstrated fatigue-free behavior up to $10^{11}$ read/write switching cycles. These results indicate that the randomly oriented BNT thin film is a promising candidate among ferroelectric materials useful for lead-free nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory applications.

  • The effect of excess Bi contents on the ferroelectric properties of B $i_{3.25}$ L $a_{0.75}$ $Ti_3$ $O_{12}$ (BLT) thin films has been investigated. Bismuth lanthanum titanate thin films with excess Bi contents were prepared onto Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$/Si substrate by metalorganic decomposition (MOD) technique. The structure and morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, BLT thin films show polycrystalline structure and the layered-perovskite phase was obtained over 10% excess of Bi contents. As a result of ferroelectric characteristics related to the Bi content of the BLT thin film, the remanent polarization and dielectric constant decreased with increasing over Bi content of 10% excess. The BLT film with Bi content of 10% excess was measured to have a dielectric constant of 326 and dielectric loss of 0.024. The BLT thin films showed little polarization fatigue test up to 3.5$\times$10$^{9}$ bipolar switching cycling.

  • Ferroelectric thin films have attracted much attention for applications in nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memories(NVFeRAM) from the view points of high speed operation, low power consumption, and large scale Integration[1,2]. Among the FRAM, BLT is of particular interest. as it is not only crystallized at relatively low processing temperature, but also shows highly fatigue resistance and large remanent polarization Meanwhile, these submicron ferroelectric capacitors were fabricated by a damascene process using Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). BLT capacitors were practicable by a damascene process using CMP. The P-E hysteresis were measured under an applied bias of ${\pm}5V$ by using an RT66A measurement system. The electric properties such as I-V were determined by using HP4155A analysers.

  • 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.

  • A lead free piezoelectric material, bismuth sodium barium titanate $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.94}Ba_{0.06}TiO_3$ (BNBT), was considered as an environment-friendly alternatives for the current PZT system. A perovskite BNBT was synthesized by conventional bulk ceramic processing technique. In order to improve piezoelectric properties, $La_2O_3$ as a dopant was incorporated into the BNBT system up to 0.025 moi, ana the effects on subsequent the piezoelectric ana dielectric properties were systematically investigated. With increasing $La_2O_3$ contents, the equilibrium grain shape was remarkably evidenced and sintered density was increased. Piezoelectric and dielectric properties were s]town to have maximum values at the $La_2O_3$ contents of 0.02 mol. $La^{3+}$ ions seemed to act as a softener in the BNBT system and to enhance dielectric and piezoelectric properties in this study.

  • We investigated the structural and electrical properties of BLT films grown on Si covered with $ZrO_{2}$ buffer layer. The BLT thin film and $ZrO_{2}$ buffer layer were fabricated using a metalorganic decomposition method. The electrical properties of the MFIS structure were investigated by varying thickness of the $ZrO_{2}$ layer. AES and TEM show no interdiffusion and reaction that suppressed using the $ZrO_{2}$ film as a buffer layer The width of the memory window in the C-V curves for the MFIS structure decreased with increasing thickness of the $ZrO_{2}$ layer. It is considered that the memory window width of MFIS is not affected by remanent polarization. Leakage current density decreased by about four orders of magnitude after using $ZrO_{2}$ buffer layer. The results show that the $ZrO_{2}$ buffer layers are prospective candidates for applications in MFIS-FET memory devices.

  • $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$(BLT) thin films were prepared on the Pt(150 nm)/Ti(50 nm)/$SiO_2$/Si substrate using the rf magnetron sputtering method. The BLT thin films were annealed at temperatures ranging from $600^{\circ}C$ to $750^{\circ}C$ using the rapid thermal annealing. The structure and surface morphology of the thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The hysteresis loop of the BLT thin films showed that the remanent polarization (2Pr) of the film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ was 10.92 ${\mu}C/cm^2$. The fatigue characteristic of the BLT thin film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ was shown change polarization up to $1.2{\times}10^9$ switching cycles. We confirmed the excellent remnant polarization (Pr) and fatigue properties compared with other fabrication methods and suggested a good method for BLT thin films fabrications.
