Abstract

Bi-layered SrBi2Ta2O9(SBT) films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si sibstrates by rf magnetron sputt-ering at room temperature and then were annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$, 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 85$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in oxygen at-mosphere. The film composition of SrBi2Ta2O9 was obtained after depositing at room temperature and annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$. Excess 20mole% Bi2O3 and 30 mole% SrCO3 were added to the target to compensate for the lack of Bi and Sr in SBT film. 200 nm thick SBT film exhibited and dense microstructure, adielectric constant of 210, and a dissipation factor of 0.05 at 1 MHz frequency. The films exhibited Curie temperature of 32$0^{\circ}C$ and a dielectric constant of 314 at that temperature under 100 kHz frequency. The remanent polarization(2Pr) and the coercive field(2Ec) of the SBT films were 9.1 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 85 kV/cm at an applied voltage of 3V, resspectively and the SBT film showed a fatigue-free characteristics up to 1010 cy-cles under 5V bipolar pulse. The leakage current density of the SBT film was about 7$\times$10-7A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 150 kV/cm. Fatigue-free SBT films prepared by rf magnetron sputtering can be suitable for application to non-volatile memory device.

Bi층 SrBi2Ta2O9(SBT)박막을 상온에서 rf magnetron sputtering에 의해 Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si기판위에 증착한 다음 산소 분위기 하에서 1시간동안 75$0^{\circ}C$, 80$0^{\circ}C$, 85$0^{\circ}C$로 열처리하였다. 타겟은 박막내의 Bi와 Sr의 부족을 보상하기 위해 20mole%의 Bi2O3와 30mole%의 SrCO3를 과잉으로 넣어 사용하였으며, 80$0^{\circ}C$로 열처리한 박막의 조성은 Sr0.7Bi2.0Ta2.0O9.0이었다. 200nm의 두께를 갖는 이 SBT박막은 치밀한 미세구조와, 1MHz의 주파수에서 210의 유전상수, 0.05의 유전손실을 나타내었고, 또한 100 kMz에서 32$0^{\circ}C$의 큐리온도를 나타냈으며 그 온도에서의 유전상수는 314이었다. 이 SBT박막의 잔류분극(2Pr)과 항전계(2Ec)값은 각각 인가전압 3V에서 9.1$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$과 85kV/cm이었고, 5V의 bipolar pulse 하에서 1010 cycle까지 피로현상이 나타나지 않았으며, 누설전류 밀도는 150kV/cm에서 7$\times$10-7A/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 값을 보였다. rf magnetron sputtering 으로 제조된 SBT박막은 비휘발성 메모리 소자에의 응용이 가능하다.
