In this study, Ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_x,Ti_{1-x})O_3$(x=0.53) thin films were fabricated by the spin-coating on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate using the PZT metal alkoxide solutions with various excess Pb contents. Etching of PZT film was performed using planar inductively coupled Ar(20)$/Cl_2/BCl_3$ plasma. The etch rate of PZT film was 2450 ${\AA}/min$ at Ar(20)$/BCl_3$(80) gas mixing ratio and substrate temperature of $80^{\circ}C$. The leakage current densities of before etching and after etching PZT thin film were $6.25\times10^{-8}A/cm^2$, $8.74\times10^{-7}A/cm^2$ with electric field of 0.07MV/em, respectively.

Recently, low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology has gained a remarkable application potential in sensors, actuators and micro systems fields because of its very good electrical and mechanical properties, high reliability and stability as well as possibility of making 3D micro structures. In this study, we investigated the effects of annealing treatment on the electrical properties of $Pb(ZrTi)O_3$ (PZT) thin films deposited on LTCC substrate. PZT thin films were deposited on Au / LTCC substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method. Then, the change of the crystallization of the films were investigated under various annealing temperatures and times. The results showed that the crystallization of the films were enhanced as increasing annealing temperatures. The film, annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, 3min, was well crystallized in the perovskite structure.

In this paper, we first applied the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to the planarization of ferroelectric film in order to obtain a good planarity of electrode/ferroelectric film interface. BST ($Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$), PZT ($Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.52}TiO_{0.48})O_3$) and BTO ($BaTiO_3$) ferroelectric film are fabricated by the sol-gel method. And then, we compared the structural characteristics before and after CMP process of BST, PZT, BTO films. Their dependence on slurry composition was also investigated. We expect that our results will be useful promise of global planarization for ferroelectric random access memories (FRAM) application in the near future.

$PbZrO_3$precursor was prepared for the spin coating on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate. Two different heat treatment methods were used and the differencies were studied. One of the method is that the films were inserted into the furnace for 30 minutes and the other is that the films were annealed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) for 1 minute at the same temperatures. We also examined the tendency of crystallization by annealing at the fixed temperature, $700^{\circ}C$ as a function of time, namely during 1, 10, 20, and 30 minitues, respectively. The optimum conditions for the crystallization of these films were at $550^{\circ}C$ during 30 min. and at $700^{\circ}C$ during 10 min. in muffle furnace and at $650^{\circ}C$ during 1 min in RTA furnace. The best condition for making good quality grains needs 30 min. at $700^{\circ}C$.

$Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3(PZT)$ thin films deposited on $Ru/RuO_2$ bottom electrode that grown for in-situ progress used rf magnetron sputtering method. We investigated the dependence of the crystalline and electrical properties in the way of capacitors PZT thin films. Our results show that all PZT films indicated polycrystalline perovskite structure with preferred orientation (110) and no pyrochlore phase is observed. The electric properties of the Ru improved with increasing Ru thin films thickness. A well-fabricated Ru/PZT/Ru (100 nm) /$RuO_2$ capacitor showed a leakage current density in the order of $2.03{\times}10^{-7}$ $A/cm^2$ as a 50 kV/cm, a remnant polarization (Pr) of 9.22 ${\mu}C/cm^2$, and a coercive field (-EC) of -32.22 kV/cm. The results show that $Ru/Ru/RuO_2$ bottom electrodes are expected to reduce the degradation ferroelectric fatigue and excellent ferroelectric properties.

(111)과 (100)우선방위의 정방정계의 Pb(Zr$_{0.2}$, Ti$_{0.8}$)O$_{3}$박막의 강유전체 특성과 신뢰성특성을 상부 전극의 두께를 변화시키면서 연구하였다. (111)우선방위의 박막이 (100)우선방위의 박막보다 큰 잔류분극과 항전계 값을 갖고 있어 정방형의 이력곡선 특성을 보여주었다. 스위칭전하의 상부전극의 두께 의존성은 상부전극을 열처리 할 때 유도되는 압축응력에 의한 stress효과로 설명할 수 있었다. 상부전극의 두께가 얇은 박막은 초기에는 작은 스위칭 전하를 갖고 있으나 스위칭 횟수가 증대됨에 따라 기계적인 응력의 감소로 인하여 부분 수위칭 영역이 확대되어 내구성이 향상되었다.

The effect of various post-annealing temperature to sputtered Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$ (PZT) thin films was investigated. The crystallization process, surface morphology and the electrical characteristics strongly depends on the rapid thermal annealing (RTA). In radio frequency (RF) sputtering methods, there were many papers mostly forcing on the crystal forming and the surface variations with different elements distribution (Pb, Ti, Zr, O) on the surface of the PZT layer. In this experiment, the post-annealing treatment promoted the Pb volatilization in PZT thin film and affected the Ti diffused throughout the Pt layer into the PZT layer. Second ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) analysis was employed to show that the Pb element in the PZT layer was decreased at the same time the Ti element mass was slight decreased than Pb with increasing RTA temperature. That result prove the content of Pb affect the PZT thin film property.
