Abstract

The structural and electrical characteristics of SBT thin films, fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO\ulcorner/Si substrates by a pulsed laser deposition(PLD), were investigated to develop ferroelectric thin films for capacitor lay-ers of FRAM. EFfects of target composition on the characteristics of SBT thin films were examined. Target were prepared by mixed oxide method, and composition of Sr/Bi/Ta on SBT was changed to 1/2/2, 1/2.4/2, 1/2.8/2, 0.8/2/2 and 1.2/2/2. SBt thin films were fabricated, as a function of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure, by PLD. The optimized ocndition, to fabricate high quality SBT thin films, was 700 $^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature, 200 mTorr of oxygen pressure, and 2 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of laser energy density. Maximum remnant value(2Pr) of 9.0 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, coercive field value(Ec) of 50 kV/cm, dielectric constant value of 166, and leakage current densities of <10\ulcorner A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ were observed for the films with 1/2/2 composition, which was prepared at the above PLD condition.
