[ $Sr_{0.8}Bi_{2.4}Ta_2O_9(SBT)/Pt$ ] 구조에서 $350^{\circ}C$ 온도로 수소열처리에 의한 강유전특성 열화를 방지하기 위한 W-N/Pt 하부전극의 효과를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 Pt와 SBT 박막사이에 증착된 W-N박막에 의해 수소의 확산을 차단할 수 있었다. Pt 표면에서 수소원자가 화학적인 흡착이 일어나지 않음으로써 흡착된 수소가 SBT 박막내의 산소와 결합하게 됨으로써 oxygen deficiency가 발생하는 것을 막을 수 있었다. W-N 박막이 양호한 확산방지막으로 작용하여 강유전특성의 열화현상을 방지 할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 field-dependent polarization 모델과 square-law FET 모델을 이용하여 Metal- ferroelectic-semiconductor FET (MFSFET) 소자의 특성을 연구하였다. 게이트 전압에 따른 드레인 전류특성에서 강유전체 박막의 항전압이 0.5 와 1 V 일 때, 각각 1와 2 V의 메모리 창 (memory window) 을 나타내었다. 드레인 전류-드레인 전압곡선에서 두 부분의 문턱전압에 의해 나타난 포화 드레인 전류차이는 게이트 전압이 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 V 일 때, 각각 1.5, 2.7, 4.0, 5.7 mA로 명확한 차이를 나타내었다. PLZT(10/30/70), PLT(10), PZT(30/70) 박막의 이력곡선 시뮬레이션과 리텐션 특성의 fitting 결과를 바탕으로 시간경과 후의 드레인 전류를 분석한 결과, PLZT(10/30/70) 박막이 10년 후에도 약 18%의 포화 전류가 감소하는 가장 우수한 신뢰성을 나타내었다.

The growth characteristics of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3 (PZT) thin films were investigated for the application of high-density ferroelectric random access memories (FRAM) devices beyond 64Mbit density. The supply control of Pb precursor plays the most critical role in order to achieve a reliable process for PZT thin film deposition. We have monitored the changes in the microstructure and electrical properties of films on increasing the Pb precursor supply into the reaction chamber. Under optimized conditions, $Ir/IrO_2/PZT(100nm)/Ir capacitor shows well-saturated hysteresis loops with a remanent polarization (Pr) of $~28{\mu}C/textrm{cm}^2$ and coercive voltage of 0.8V at 2.5V. Other issues such as step coverage, compositional uniformity and low temperature deposition was discussed in viewpoint of actual device application.

본 연구에서는 강유전성 고분자를 이용하여 제작된 100 nm 이하 두께를 가지는 박막형 커페시터의 측정 주파수에 따른 분극 반전 특성을 측정, 분석하였다. 고정된 박막 두께에 대해, 인가되는 최고 전기장의 세기가 증가할수록 더 높은 항전계에서 분극 반전이 발생되었다. 고정된 최고 전기장에 대해, 박막의 두께에 무관하게 같은 항전계에서 분극 반전이 발생되었다. 모든 측정에서 로그스케일 전기장 및 로그스케일 주파수의 관계에서 약 $0.12{\pm}0.01$의 비례 상수를 보였다. 결과적으로, 강유전체 고분자 커페시터가 40 nm 두께까지는 size effect 없이 일정한 분극 반전 특성을 보였다. 본 연구는 저전압 동작 고분자 메모리 소자의 동작 예측에 유용할 것이므로 저전압에서 동작 가능한 고분자 메모리 소자의 가능성을 보여준다.

The ferroelectric YMnO3 thin films were prepared by MOD(metal-organic decomposition) method with Y- and Mn-acetylacetonate as starting materials. Thin films were grown on various substrates by spin-coating technique. The crystalline phases of the thin films were identified by X-ray diffractometer as a function of heat-treatment temperature, pH of coating solution and substrate. In addition, the effect of Mn/Y molar ratio(0.8~1.2) on the formation of hexagonal-YMnO3 phase was investigated. In forming highly c-axisoriented hexagonal-YMnO3 single phase, the Pt coated Si substrate was more effective than the bare Si substrate, and the optimum heat-treatment condition was at 82$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Higher Mn/Y molar ratio within 0.8~1.2 and pH of YMnO3 precursor solution within 0.5~2.5 favored formation of ferroelectric hexagonal phase rather than orthorhombic phase. Leakage current density of the hexagonal-YMnO3 thin film formed on Pt(111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrate was low enough as 0.4~4.0$\times$10-8(A/$\textrm{cm}^2$) at 5 V and its remanent polarization(Pr), calculated from the P-E hysteresis loop, was 3 nC/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

To enhance the tunneling electroresistance (TER) ratio of a ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) device using Al-doped HfO₂ thin films, a thin insulating layer was prepared on a TiN bottom electrode, for which TiN was preliminarily treated at various temperatures in O₂ ambient. The composition and thickness of the inserted insulating layer were optimized at 600℃ and 50 Torr, and the FTJ showed a high TER ratio of 430. During the heat treatments, a titanium oxide layer formed on the surface of TiN, that suppressed oxygen vacancy generation in the ferroelectric thin film. It was found that the fabricated FTJ device exhibits two distinct resistance states with higher tunneling currents by properly heat-treating the TiN bottom electrode of the HfO₂-based FTJ devices in O₂ ambient.

Ferroelectric $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ films were deposited on $SrTiO_3(100)$ and Si(100) substrate by using conductive $SrRuO_3$ films as underlayer, and their ferroelectric and electrical properties were investigated depending on crystal structure and orientation. C-axis oriented $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ films were grown on well lattice-matched pseudo-cubic $SrRuO_3$ films deposited on $SrTiO_3(100)$ substrate, while random-oriented polycrystalline $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ films were grown on $SrRuO_3$ films deposited on Si(100) substrate. The random-oriented polycrystalline film showed a good ferroelectric hysteresis property with remanent polarization ($P_r$) of $9.4{\mu}C/cm^2$ and coercive field ($E_c$) of 84.9 kV/cm, while the c-axis oriented film showed $P_r=0.64{\mu}C/cm^2$ and $E_c=47kV/cm$ in polarizaion vs electric field curve. The c-axis oriented $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ film showed a dielectric constant of about 150 and lower thickness dependence in dielectric constant compared to the random-oriented film. Furthermore, the c-axis oriented $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ film showed leakage current lower than that of the polycrystalline film. The difference of ferroelectric properties in two films was explained from the viewpoint of depolarization effect due to orientation of spontaneous polarization and layered crystal structure of bismuth-base ferroelectric oxide.

The planar type flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH) based on PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) thin films on the flexible substrates are demonstrated to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. The planar type energy harvesters have been realized, which have an electrode pair on the PZT thin films. The PZT thin films were deposited on double side polished sapphire substrates using conventional RF-magnetron sputtering. The PZT thin films on the sapphire substrates were transferred by PDMS stamp with laser lift-off (LLO) process. KrF excimer laser (wavelength: 248nm) were used for the LLO process. The PDMS stamp was attached to the top of the PZT thin films and the excimer laser induced onto back side of the sapphire substrate to detach the thin films. The detached thin films on the PDMS stamp transferred to adhesive layer coated on the flexible polyimide substrate. Structural properties of the PZT thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To measure piezoelectric power generation characteristics, Au/Cr inter digital electrode (IDE) was formed on the PZT thin films using the e-beam evaporation. The ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were measured by a ferroelectric test system (Precision Premier-II) and piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM), respectively. The output signals of the flexible PEHs were evaluated by electrometer (6517A, Keithley). In the result, the transferred PZT thin films showed the ferroelectric and piezoelectric characteristics without electrical degradation and the fabricated flexible PEHs generated an AC-type output power electrical energy during periodically bending and releasing motion. We expect that the flexible PEHs based on laser transferred PZT thin film is able to be applied on self-powered electronic devices in wireless sensor networks technologies. Also, it has a lot of potential for high performance flexible piezoelectric energy harvester.

The YMnO$_3$ thin films were prepared on platinized-silicon substrates by chemical solution deposition and annealed at 750 to 85$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 h under various oxygen pressures, from 2 mTorr to 760 Torr. Effects of annealing oxygen pressures on the crystallization behavior and electrical properties of YMnO$_3$ thin films were investigated. Crystallinity and c-axis preferred orientation of YMnO$_3$ thin film were improved by decreasing the oxygen pressure but were deteriorated at extremely low oxygen pressure, 2 mTorr. Leakage current density of the YMn03 thin film decreased as the oxygen pressure decreased. The film annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$ under 2 Torr, which had the best crystallinity and the highest c-axis preferred orientation. showed the best-developed ferroelectric C-V hysteresis.
