The thin films of high permitivity in ferroelectric materials using a capacitor are applied to DRAMs and FRAMs. (Ba, Sr)TiO$_3$ thin films as ferroelectric materials were prepared by the sol-gel method and made by spin-coating on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate at 4,700 [rpm] for 10 seconds. The devices of BST thin films to composite (Ba$\_$0.7/Sr$\_$0.3/)TiO$_3$ were fabricated by changing of the depositing layer number on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate. The thin film capacitor to be ferroelectric devices was investigated by structural and electrical properties. The thickness of BST thin films at each coating numbers 3, 4 and 5 times was 2500[${\AA}$], 3500[${\AA}$], 3800[${\AA}$]. The dielectric factor of thin film when the coating numbers were 3, 4 and 5 times was 190, 400 and 460 on frequency 1[MHz]. The dielectric loss of BST thin film was linearly increased by increasing of the specimen area.

In this study we have investigated physical and electrical properties of high temperature oxide (HTO) thin film using dichlorosilane (DCS) gas. This film had low etch rate and excellent step coverage, and its characteristics of Si-O bond were similar to those of thermal oxide. I-V curves also showed similar electrical properties to those of thermally grown oxide (SiO2) while time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) results revealed 1/4 value of thermal oxide. However, defect density was measured to be much lower value than that of thermal oxide.

The multilayered $Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.4}Ti_{0.6})O_{3}$/$Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4})O_{3}/Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.4}Ti_{0.6})O_{3}$[PZT(4060)/(6040)/(4060)] thin films were deposited by RF sputtering method on the Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrate. We investigated the effects of deposition conditions on the structural and electrical properties of the multilayered PZT thin films. All the multilayered PZT thin films showed dense and homogeneous structure without the presence of the rosette structure. The dielectric properties such as dielectric constant, loss, remanent polarization of the multilayered PZT thin film were superior to those of single composition PZT(4060) and PZT(6040) films, and those values for the multilayered PZT(10/20/10) thin film were 903, 1.01% and $25.60{\mu}C/cm^2$. This study suggests that the design of the multilayered PZT thin films capacitor with tetragonal and rhombohedral phase should be an effective method to enhance the dielectric and ferroelectric performance in devices.

(111)-oriented and random oriented $Pb_{0.8}Ba_{0.2}ZrO_3$ (PBZ) perovskite relaxor ferroelectric thin films were fabricated on Pt(111)/$TiO_x$/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by sol-gel method. Nano-scaled antiferroelectric and ferroelectric two-phase coexisted in both (111)-oriented and random oriented PBZ thin film. High dielectric tunability (${\eta}=75%$, E = 560 kV/cm) and figure-of-merit (FOM ~ 236) at room temperature was obtained in (111)-oriented thin film. Meanwhile, giant electrocaloric effect (ECE) (${\Delta}T=45.3K$ and ${\Delta}S=46.9JK^{-1}kg^{-1}$ at $598kVcm^{-1}$) at room temperature (290 K), rather than at its Curie temperature (408 K), was observed in random oriented $Pb_{0.8}Ba_{0.2}ZrO_3$ (PBZ) thin film, which makes it a promising material for the application to cooling systems near room temperature. The giant ECE as well as high dielectric tunability are attributed to the coexistence of AFE and FE phases and field-induced nano-scaled AFE to FE phase transition.

An alkoxide-based sol-gel method was used to fabricate $Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$ thin films doped by Bi from 5 to 20 mol% on a Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate. The structural and dielectric properties of BST thin films were investigated as a function of Bi dopant concentration. The dielectric properties of the Bi doped BST films were strongly dependent on the Bi contents. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the films decreased with increasing Bi content. However, the leakage current density of the 10 mol% Bi doped $Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$ thin film showed the lowest value of 5.13 10-7 at 5 V. The figure of merit (FOM) reached a maximum value of 32.42 at a 10 mol% Bi doped $Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$ thin films. The dielectric constant, loss factor, and tunability of the 10 mol% Bi doped $BBa_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$ thin films were 333,0.0095, and 31.1%, respectively.

Perovskite-type titanate dielectrics have attracted much attention in memory devices such as DRAMs or FeRAMs due to their high dielectric constants. However, low volatility of the Ba, Sr, Pb or Zr precursors with only thd ligands has limitations in obtaining high quality thin films by liquid source metal organic chemical vapor deposition (LS-MOCVD) processes. To improve the volatility of these precursors, many attempts have been made such as adding polyether ligands to satisfy the coordinative saturation. We report the synthesis of new precursors Ba(thd)₂(tmeea) and Sr(thd)₂(tmeea), where tmeea = tris[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl]amino, and LS-MOCVD of barium strontium titanate (BSTO) thin films using these precursors. Due to increased basicity of amines compared with ethers, it is expected that the nitrogen-donor ligand will make a strong bond to a metal than an analogous oxygen-donor ligand, consequently improving the volatility and thermal behavior of these precursors. Thin films of BSTO were grown on Pt(111)/SiO₂/Si(100) substrates by LS-MOCVD using a cocktail source consisting of the conventional Ti precursor Ti(thd)₂(O/sup i/Pr), and these new Ba and Sr precursors. As-grown films were characterized by XPS, SEM, XRD, XRF, and C-V and I-V measurements. BSTO films grown at 420℃ were stoichiometric barium strontium titanate with very smooth surface morphology and their dielectric constants were found to be as targe as 450. Dependence of the composition, microstructure and the electrical properties of the BSTO films on the growth temperature, annealing temperature, working pressure, and the composition of the cocktail source will be discussed.

The$(Sr_{1-x}Ca_x)TiO_3$(SCT) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode $(Pt-TiN /SiO_2Si)$ using RF sputtering method at various deposition temperature. The crystallinity of thin films was increased with increased of deposition temperature n the temperature range of 200~500 $[^{\circ}C]$. The capacitance changes almost linearly in temperature ranges of -80~+90$[^{\circ}C]$. All SCT thin films used in the study the phenomena of dielectric relaxation with the increase of frequency, and the relaxation frequency is observed above 200[kHz]. V-I characteristics of SCT thin films show the increasing leakage current with the increases of deposition temperature.

The dielectric constants and dielectric losses of ZrTiO$_4$thin films deposited by DC magnetron reactive sputtering were investigated. The paraelectric properties were measured in the 100kHz range. As the deposition temperature increased (up to 67$0^{\circ}C$), the dielectric losses (tan$\delta$) decreased (down to 0.017$\pm$0.007), while the dielectric constants ($\varepsilon$) were in the range of 35$\pm$7. Post annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$ in oxygen for 2h reduced tan$\delta$ down to 0.005$\pm$0.001, higher than those of well-sintered bulk ZrTiO$_4$.

PLT(28) ($Pb_{0.72}La_{0.28}Ti_{0.93}O_3$) dielectric thin films have been deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates in situ by a laser ablation. We have systematically changed the laser fluence from $0.5\;J/cm^2$ to $3\;J/cm^2$, and deposition temperature from $450^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. The surface morphology was changed from planar grain structure to columnar structure as the nucleation energy was increased. The PLT thin film with columnar structure showed good dielectric properties. It is shown that the deposition temperature strongly affect the film nucleation compared with the laser fluence.

Pentacene thin film transistors (OTFTs) on flexible polyimide substrate using electroplated gate electrode and organic/high-k inorganic bilayer gate dielectric layer. Incorporation of thin atomic-layer deposited $HfO_2$ layer on the PVP organic gate dielectric layer reduced the gate leakage and as a result enhanced the current on/off ratio.
