A Study on the ZnO Piezoelectric Thin Films for SAW Filter by RF Magnetron Sputtering

RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링에 의한 SAW 필터용 ZnO 압전 박막에 관한 연구

  • Published : 2002.09.01

Abstract

ZnO thin films on Si wafer were deposited by RF magnetron reactive sputter with various RF power, chamber pressure, argon/oxygen gas ratios ana substrate temperatures. Crystallinities, surface morphologies, and electrical properties of the films were investigated by XRD, AFM, RBS, and electrometer(keithley 617). ZnO films showed a strong c-axis preferred orientation. Surface roughness and resistivity were changed by the argon/oxygen gas ratio. The minimum surface roughness of 12${\AA}$ and maximum resistivity of $10^8\Omega cm$ were achieved at Ar/O$O_2$=0/100.
