The (Sr$_{l-x}$.Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_3$(0.05$\leq$x$\leq$0.2) ceramics were fabricated to form semiconducting ceramics by sintering at about 1350[$^{\circ}C$] in a reducing atmosphere($N_2$gas). After being fired in a reducing atmosphere, metal oxides, CuO, was painted on the both surface of the specimens to diffuse to the grain boundary. They were annealed at 1100[$^{\circ}C$] for 2 hours and cooled to room temperature. The grain boundary was composed of the continuous insulating layers. The capacitance changes slowly and almost linearly in the temperature region of -30~+85[$^{\circ}C$]. The capacitance characteristics appears a stable value within $\pm$10[%]. The conduction mechanism of the specimens observed in the temperature range of 25~125[$^{\circ}C$], and is divined into three regions haying different mechanism as the current increased: the region I below 230[V/cm] shows the ohmic conduction. The region II can be explained by the Poole-Frenkel emission theory, and the region III is dominated by the tunneling effect.ect.

Ultra thin $Ta_2O_5$ gate dielectrics were prepared by RTMOCVD (rapid thermal metal organic chemical vapor deposition) using Ta source $TaC_{12}H_{30}O_5N$ and $O_2$ gaseous mixtures. As a result, $Ta_2O_5$ thin films showed significantly low leakage current compared to $SiO_2$ of identical thickness, which was due to the stabilization of the interfacial layer by NO ($SiO_xN_y$) passivation layer. The conduction of leakage current in $Ta_2O_5$ thin films was described by the hopping mechanism of Poole-Frenkel (PF) type.

Silicon nitride films were chemically deposited on silicon substrates by reacting SiCl$_{4}$ and NH$_{3}$ in a nitrogen atmosphere at 700~1100 .deg.C. The deposition rate increased rapidly with deposition temperature upto about 1000 .deg.C, and became less temperature dependent above this temperature. The etch rate of films in buffered HF solution decreased, with an increase of deposition temperature, and a heat treatment at a temperature higher than that of the deposition considerably reduced the etch rate. It indicates that the heat treatment resulted in a densification of the films. Surface charge density of 3~4 * 10$^{11}$ /cm$^{2}$ was determined from the C-V characteristics of MNS diode, and it was also found that surface charge density depended on deposition temperature, but not film thickness. The current-voltage characteristics displayed a logI-V$^{1}$2/ dependence in the temperature range of 300~500.deg.K. Measurement of the slope of this characteristics and its dependence on temperature and bias polarity suggest that conduction in sili con nitride films arises from the Poole-Frenkel mechanism.

The present study describe the electrical performance of amorphous T $a_2$ $O_{5-X}$ fabricated on the buffer layers Ti and Ti $O_2$. T $a_2$ $O_{5-X}$ thin films were grown on the Ti and Ti $O_2$ layers as a capacitor layer using reactive sputtering method. The X-ray pattern analysis indicated that the two as-deposited films were amorphous and the amorphous state was kept stable on the RTA(rapid thermal annealing) at even $700^{\circ}C$. Measurements of dielectric properties of the reactive sputtered T $a_2$ $O_{5-X}$ thin films fabricated in two simple MIS(metal insulator semiconductor), structures, (Cu/T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ Ti/Si and CuT $a_2$ $O_{5}$ Ti $O_2$Si) show that the amorphous T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ grown on Ti showed high dielectric constant (23～39) and high leakage current density(10$^{-3}$ ～10$^{-4}$ (A/$\textrm{cm}^2$)), whereas relatively low dielectric constant (～15) and tow leakage current density(10$^{-9}$ ～10$^{-10}$ (A/$\textrm{cm}^2$)) were observed in the amorphous T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ deposited on the Ti $O_2$ layer. The electrical behaviors of the T $a_2$ $O^{5}$ thin films were attributed to the contribution of Ti- $O_2$ and the compositionally gradient Ta-Ti-0, being the low dielectric layer and high leakage current barrier. In additional, The T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ Ti $O_2$ thin films exhibited dominant conduction mechanism contributed by the Poole-Frenkel emission at high electric field. In the case of T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ Ti $O_2$ thin films were related to the diffusion of Ta, Ti and O, followed by the creation of vacancies, in the rapid thermal treated thin films.films.

The structural and electrical properties of amorphous $BaSm_2Ti_4O_{12}$ (BSmT) films on a $TiN/SiO_2/Si$ substrate deposited using a RF magnetron sputtering method were investigated. The deposition of BSmT films was carried out at $300^{\circ}C$ in a mixed oxygen and argon ($O_2$ : Ar = 1 : 4) atmosphere with a total pressure of 8.0 mTorr. In particular, a 45 nm-thick amorphous BSmT film exhibited a high capacitance density and low dissipation factor of $7.60\;fF/{\mu}m2$ and 1.3%, respectively, with a dielectric constant of 38 at 100 kHz. Its capacitance showed very little change, even in GHz ranges from 1.0 GHz to 6.0 GHz. The quality factor of the BSmT film was as high as 67 at 6 GHz. The leakage current density of the BSmT film was also very low, at approximately $5.11\;nA/cm^2$ at 2 V; its conduction mechanism was explained by the the Poole-Frenkel emission. The quadratic voltage coefficient of capacitance of the BSmT film was approximately $698\;ppm/V^2$, which is higher than the required value (<$100\;ppm/V^2$) for RF application. This could be reduced by improving the process condition. The temperature coefficient of capacitance of the film was low at nearly $296\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ at 100 kHz. Therefore, amorphous BSmT grown on a TiN substrate is a viable candidate material for a metal-insulator-metal capacitor.
