  • The PZT thin films werre deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by R. F. magnetron sputtering with $Pb_{1.1}Zr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47}O_3$ target. When interlayers(PbO, $TiO_2$, PbO/$TiO_2$) were inserted between PZT and Pt, the crystallization of the PZT thin films was considerably improved and the processing temperature was lowered. Compared to the pure PZT thin films, dielectric constant, dielectric loss and polarization properties of PZT thin films with interlayers were considerably improved. From XPS depth profile analysis, it was confirmed that PZT thin films and interlayers existed independently. In particular, PZT thin films deposited on interlayer(PbO/$TiO_2$) showed the best dielectric property (${\varepsilon}_r$=414.94, tan${\delta}$=0.0241, Pr=22${\mu}C/cm^2$).

  • Metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor(MFTS) devices by using rapid thermal annealed (RTA) LiNbO$_3$/AIN/Si(100) structures were successfully fabricated and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations. Metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) C-V properties with high dielectric AIN thin films showed no hysteresis and good interface properties. The dielectric constant of the AIN film calculated from the capacitance at the accumulation region in the capacitance-voltage(C-V) characteristics was about 8. The C-V characteristics of MFIS capacitor showed a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the LiNbO$_3$ thin films. Typical dielectric constant value of LiNbO$_3$ film of MFIS device was about 23. The memory window width was about 1.2 V at the gate voltage of $\pm$5 V ranges. Typical gate leakage current density of the MFIS structure was the order of 10$^{-9}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the range of within $\pm$500 kV/cm. The ferroelectric capacitors showed no polarization degradation up to about 10$^{11}$ switching cycles when subjected to symmetric bipolar voltage pulse(peak-to-peak 8 V, 50 % duty cycle) in the 500 kHz.

  • Metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) structures with $Bi_{3.35}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ (BLT) ferroelectric film and Zirconium oxide ($ZrO_2$) layer were fabricated on p-type Si(100). $ZrO_2$ and BLT films were prepared by sol-gel technique. Surface morphologies of $ZrO_2$ and BLT film were measured by atomic force microscope (AFM). The electrical characteristics of Au/$ZrO_2$/Si and Au/BLT/$ZrO_2$/Si film were investigated by C-V and I-V measurements. No hysteretic characteristics was observed in the C-V curve of the Au/$ZrO_2$/Si structure. The memory window width m C-V curve of the Au/BLT/$ZrO_2$/Si diode was about 1.3 V for a voltage sweep of ${\pm}5$ V. The leakage current of Au/$ZrO_2$/Si and Au/BLT/$ZrO_2$/Si structures were about $3{\times}10^{-8}$ A at 30 MV/cm and $3{\times}10^{-8}$ A at 3 MV/cm, respectively.

  • Bismuth layered structure ferroelectric thin films, $Bi_4$$Ti_3$$O_{12}$ / (BTO) and Nb-doped BTO (BTN) were prepared on the Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates by a sol-gel route. We investigated the Nb-doping effect on the grain orientation and ferroelectric properties. $Nb^{5+}$ ion substitution for $Ti^{4+}$ ion in perovskite layers of BTO decreased the degree of c-axis orientation and increased the remanent polarization (2Pr). The fatigue resistance of Nb-doped BTO thin film was shown to be superior to that of BTO, and the leakage current of Nb-doped BTO thin film was decreased about 1 order of magnitude compared with BTO. The improvement of ferroelectric properties with $Nb^{5+}$ doping in BTO could be attributed to the changes in space charge densities and grain orientation in the thin film.

  • In this paper, for enhancement of property on a-Si:H TFTs We measure interface characteristics of ferroelectrics thin film and a-Si:H thin film. First, SrTiO$_3$ thin film is deposited bye-beam evaporation. Deposited films are annealed for 1 hour in N2 ambient at $150^{\circ}C∼600^{\circ}C$. Dielectric characteristics of deposited SrTiO$_3$ films are very good because dielectric constant shows 50∼100 and breakdown electric field are 1 ∼ 1.5 MV/cm. a-SiN:H,a-Si:H(n-type a-Si:H) are deposited onto SrTiO$_3$ film to make MFNS(Meta1/ferroelectric/a-SiN:H/a-Si:H) by PECVD. After the C-V measurement for interface characteristics, MFNS structure shows no difference with MNS(Metal/a-SiN:H/a-Si:H) structure in C-V characteristics but the insulator capacitance value of MFNS structure is much higher than the MNS because of high dielectric constant of ferroelectric.
