The heterolayered PZT/PT thick films were fabricated by two different methods - thick films of the PZT by screen printing method on alumina substrates electrodes with Pt, thin films of $PbTiO_3$ by the spin coating method on the PZT thick films and once more thick films of the PZT by the screen printing method on the $BaTiO_3$ layer The structural and the dielectric properties were investigated for effect of various stacking sequence of sol-gel prepared $PbTiO_3$ coating solution at interface of the PZT thick films. The insertion of $PbTiO_3$ interlayer yielded the PZT thick films with homogeneous and dense grain structure with the number of $PbTiO_3$ layers. The leakage current density of the PZT/$PbTiO_3-1$ film is less that $4.41{\times}10^{-9}\;A/cm^2$ at 5 V.

MFIS(Metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor) structures using silicon oxynitride(SiON) buffer layers were fabricatied and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations. Oxynitride(SiON) films have been formed on p-Si(100) by RTP(rapid thermal process) in O$_2$+N$_2$ ambient at 1100$^{\circ}C$. The gate leakage current density of Al/SiON/Si(100) capacitor was about the order of 10$\^$-8/ A/cm$^2$ at the range of ${\pm}$ 2.5 MV/cm. The C-V characteristics of Al/LiNbO$_3$/SiON/Si(100) 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 24. The memory window width was about 1.2V at the electric field of ${\pm}$300 kV/cm ranges.

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 1.2V 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/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 8V, 50% duty cycle) in the 500kHz.

Ferroelectric PZT thin films were fabricated on the RuO$_2$/Pt, Pt bottom electrode with a PZT(53/47) metal alkoxide solutions. All PZT thin films showed a uniform grain structure without the presence of rosette structure. The PZT thin films were etched as a function of Cl$_2$/Ar and additive CF$_4$ into Cl$_2$(80%)/Ar(20%). The etch rates of PZT thin films were 1970 ${\AA}$/min at 30 % additive CF$_4$ into Cl$_2$(80%)/Ar(20%). The remanent polarization and leakage current density in PZT thin film on the RuO$_2$/Pt were 64.2 ${\mu}$C/cm$^2$, 1.4${\times}$10$\^$-6/ respectively.

The $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.3}Ta_2O_9$(SBT) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si) using RF magnetron sputtering method. The structural and electric properties of SBT capacitors were influenced with annealing atmosphere. In the XRD pattern, the SBT thin films in all annealing atmosphere had (105) orientation. In the SEM images, Bi-layered perovskite phase was crystallized in all annealing atmosphere and grains largely grew in oxygen annealing atmosphere. The maximum remanent polarization and the coercive electric field in oxygen annealing atmosphere are $12.40{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 48kV/cm respectively. The dielectric constant and leakage current density annealing in oxygen atmosphere are 340 and $6.81{\times}10^{-10}A/cm^2$ respectively. The fatigue characteristics of SBT capacitors did not change up to $10^{10}$ switching cycles.

Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) thin films were deposited on the Pt/Ti bottom electrode by rf magnetron sputtering method from target containing 5%, 25% and 50% Pb excess for applying ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM). PZT films were deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ and then they were crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at $700^{\circ}C$. After RTA treatment, our results showed that all PZT films indicated perovskite polycrystalline structure with preferred orientation (110) and no pyrochlore phase was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A well-fabricated PZT film of excess Pb 25% capacitor showed a leakage current density in the order of $2.63{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ at 100kV/cm, a remanent polarization of $3.385{\mu}C/cm^2$ and a coercive field of 41.32 kV/cm. The results showed that Pb excess of target affects to electrical properties of PZT thin film.

In this paper, the impact of segregation layer density ($N_{DSL}$) and length ($L_{DSL}$) on scalability and analog/RF performance of dopant-segregated Schottky barrier (DSSB) SOI MOSFET has been investigated in sub-30 nm regime. It has been found that, although by increasing the $N_{DSL}$ the increased off-state leakage, short-channel effects and the parasitic capacitances limits the scalability, the reduced Schottky barrier width at source-to-channel interface improves the analog/RF figures of merit of this device. Moreover, although by reducing the $L_{DSL}$ the increased voltage drop across the underlap length reduces the drive current, the increased effective channel length improves the scalability of this device. Further, the gain-bandwidth product in a common-source amplifier based on optimized DSSB SOI MOSFET has improved by ~40% over an amplifier based on raised source/drain ultrathin-body SOI MOSFET. Thus, optimizing $N_{DSL}$ and $L_{DSL}$ of DSSB SOI MOSFET makes it a suitable candidate for future nanoscale analog/RF circuits.

Ta2O5 films were deposited on the p-Si(100) substrates by ECR-PECVD and annealed in O2 atmosphere. The thicknesses of Ta2O5/SiO2 layers were measured by an ellipsometer and a cross-sectional TEM. Annealing in O2 atmosphere enhanced the stoichiometry of the Ta2O5 film and reduced the impurity carbon content. Ta2O5 films were crystallized at the annealing temperatures above 75$0^{\circ}C$. The best leakage current characteristics and the maximum dielectric constant of Ta2O5/SiO2 film capacitor were observed in the specimen annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ and 75$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The flat band voltage of the Al/Ta2O5/SiO2/p-Si MOS capacitor was varied in the range of -0.6~-1.6 V with the annealing temperature. The conduction mechanism in the Ta2O5 film, the variation of the effective oxide charge density with the annealing temperature, and the effective electric field distribution in the Ta2O5/SiO2 double layer were also discussed.
