We have successfully fabricated a Metal-Ferroelectric-Insulator-Semiconductor (MFIS) structure using Bi$\sub$4-x/La$\sub$x/Ti$_3$O$\sub$12/ (BLT) ferroelectric thin film and SiO$_2$/Nitride/SiO$_2$ (ONO) stacked buffer layers for single transistor type ferroelectric nonvolatile memory applications. BLT films were deposited on 15 nm-thick ONO buffer layer by sol-gel spin-coating. The dielectric constant and the leakage current density of prepared ONO film were measured to be 5.6 and 1.0 x 10$\^$-8/ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 2MV/cm, respectively, It was interesting to note that the crystallographic orientations of BLT thin films were strongly effected by pre-bake temperatures. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that (117) crystallites were mainly detected in the BLT film if pre-baked below 400$^{\circ}C$. Whereas, for the films pre-baked above 500$^{\circ}C$, the crystallites with preferred c-axis orientation were mainly detected. From the C-V measurement of the MFIS capacitor with c-axis oriented BLT films, the memory window of 0.6 V was obtained at a voltage sweep of ${\pm}$8 V, which evidently reflects the ferroelectric memory effect of a BLT/ONO/Si structure.

In recent year, BLT$(Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12})$ has been one of promising substitute materials at the ferroelectric random access memory applications. We manufactured $(Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12})$ Target with a ceramic process. The BLT target was sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. Using RF magnetron sputtering, a deposited BLT thin films were estimated about ferroelectric property as a functions of post annealing time. The BLT thin films showed a promoted ferroelectric characteristics at the post annealied sample for 30 minutes. This sample exhibited the (117) preferred crystal orientation, current density of $2{\times}10^{-8}A/cm^2$, a remanent polarization of $10{\mu}C/cm^2$ and a coercive field of 62.1 KV/cm respectively.

Dielectric thin films of Pb$\_$0.72/La$\_$0.28/Ti$\_$0.93/O$_3$(PLT(28)) have been deposited on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates in-situ by pulsed laser deposition using different annealing and deposition processes. We have investigated the effect of hydrogen annealing on the ferroelectric properties of PLT thin films and found that the annealing process causes the diffusion of hydrogen into the ferroelectric film resulting in the destruction of polarization. Two-step process to grow PLT films was adopted and verified to be useful to enlarge the grain size of the film. Structural properties including dielectric constant, and ferroelectric characteristics of PLT thin films were shown to be strongly influenced by grain size. The film deposited by using two-step process including pre-annealing treatment has a strong (111) orientation. However, the films deposited by using single-step process with hydrogen annealing process shows the smallest grain size.

본 논문에서는 tunable RF 기기에 적용이 가능한 $HfO_2$ 강유전체를 활용하여 metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) 커패시터를 구현하였으며 마이크로파 대역주파수 까지 전압에 따른 커패시턴스 tunability 특성을 고찰 하였다. 1kHz부터 5GHz 대역에 이르기까지 광범위한 범위의 커패시턴스-전압 특성을 분석하였으며 커패시턴스 tunability는 500 MHz 이상의 주파수에서 2.5 GHz 대역까지 ~3 %의 tunability가 유지되는 것을 확인 하여 마이크로파 주파수 대역에서 ALD $HfO_2$기반 전자 제어 가변 커패시터의 사용 가능성을 입증하였다.

The effect of Eu contents on the ferroelectric properties of $Bi_{4-x}Eu_xTi_3 O_{12}$ (BET) thin films has been investigated. Bismuth Europium titanate thin films with a Eu contents were prepared on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by metal-organic decomposition technique. The structure and the morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, it was found that BET thin films have polycrystalline structure, and the layered-perovskite phase is obtained when the Eu contents exceeds 0.2 (x > 0.2). Also, the ferroelectric characteristics of the BET thin films were found to be dependent on the Eu content. Particularly, the BET films doped with x = 0.75 show better ferroelectric properties (remanent polarization 2Pr = 60.99 C/$cm^2$ and only a little polarization fatigue up to $3.5{\times}10^9$ bipolar switching cycling) than those doped with other Eu contents.

Ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ (PZT) films were deposited on SrTiO3(100) substrate by using conductive $SrRuO_3$ films as underlayer and their structural and ferroelectric properties were investigated. PZT films were grown in (00l) orientation on well lattice-matched pseudo-cubic $SrRuO_3$ films. Thickness dependence of ferroelectric and electrical properties of PZT films was investigated. PZT film with 400 nm thickness showed a remanent polarization ($P_r$) of $29.0{\mu}C/cm^2$ and coercive field ($E_c$) of 83 kV/cm, and $P_r$ decreased and $E_c$ increased with thickness reduction. The dielectric constant for PZT films showed gradual decrease with thickness reduction. Breakdown field of PZT films did not show the thickness dependence and displayed as high value as 1 MV/cm.

(PZT, PST, PT)/ YBCO structured have been grown on single crystal $LaAlO_3$ using in-situ Nb:YAG pulsed laser deposition technique. The optimum conditions of fabrication for high quality films have been established under various oxygen pressure. TBCO was used as a metallic electrode for polarizing ferroelectric thin fillms. Lattice mismatch of these materials were found to be with in 3%. As a result XRD patterns and rocking curves, (PZT, PST, PT)/ YBCO multiayered thin films on $LaAlO_3$ substrates showed preferred orientation to c-axis. For invastigation on electrical properties of ferroelectric thin films, remanent polaiztion $P_r$ and coercive field $E_c$ were measured for three samples. At each optimum condition, they showed the values of P_r=60 \mu C/cm^2 and E_c=240kV/ cm for PT, 30\mu C/cm^2 and 105kV/cm for PZT, 1.5\mu C/cm^2$ and 15kV/cm for PST. Frequency dependence of dielectric properties of ferroelectric thin fillms was also investigated. As a result, it showed the frequency dependence was relatively small in the range of 10Hz~10kHz.

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.

The effect of praseodymium substitution on the ferroelectric properties of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ thin films have been investigated. Ferroelectric Pr-substituted $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ thin films were fabricated by chemical solution deposition onto Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates. The structure and morphology of the films were analyzed using Xray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. About 200-nm-thick BPT films grown at $720^{\circ}C$ exhibited a polycrystalline structure and showed excellent ferroelectric properties with a remanent polarization ($2P_r$) of $28.21\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 5 V. The films a1so demonstrate fatigue-free behavior up to $10^{11}$ read/write switching cycles with 1 MHz bipolar pulses at an electric field of ${\pm}5\;V$.
