  • Lead zirconate titanate(PZT) thin films have been attracting worldwide interests in exploring their potential properties [1-3] or the origins [4-6] of their excellent dielectic, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). PZT thin films are expected to apply to the memory devices, micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS), and display because of their superior ferroelectric, pyroelectric, piezoelectric and electron emission properties. In this study, high- performance piezoelectric PZT thin films for actuated mirror array and optical scanner were developed by controlling the several factors, such as molecular-designed precursor, seeding layer and the residual stress in films, by a chemical solution deposition (CSD).

  • In recent year, BLT$(Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12})$ has been one of promising substitute materials at the ferroelectric random access memory applications. We manufactured $(Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12})$ Target with a ceramic process. The BLT target was sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. Using RF magnetron sputtering, a deposited BLT thin films were estimated about ferroelectric property as a functions of post annealing time. The BLT thin films showed a promoted ferroelectric characteristics at the post annealied sample for 30 minutes. This sample exhibited the (117) preferred crystal orientation, current density of $2{\times}10^{-8}A/cm^2$, a remanent polarization of $10{\mu}C/cm^2$ and a coercive field of 62.1 KV/cm respectively.

  • $Bi_{3.25}Y_{0.75}Ti_{3}O_{12}$[BYT] ferroelectric thin films were deposited by RF-Sputtering method on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$. We investigated the effects of processing condition (especially post-annealing) on the structural and ferroelectric properties of the BYT thin films. Increasing the annealing temperature, the peak intensity of (117) increased and c-axis orientation decreased. The BYT thin films crystallized well at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30min. No secondary phases observed in the XRD pattern. At annealing temperature of $700^{\circ}C$, the thin films had no cracks and the grain was uniform. The calculated lattice constants of BYT thin films were a=0.539nm, b=0.536nm, c=3.288nm. The remnant polarization of the $Bi_{3.25}Y_{0.75}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ capacitor reached $1.8uC/cm^2$ at an applied field about 400kV/cm. The BYT thin films can be used as capacitors in Ferroelectric Random Access Memory device.

  • The effect of Eu contents on the ferroelectric properties of $Bi_{4-x}Eu_xTi_3 O_{12}$ (BET) thin films has been investigated. Bismuth Europium titanate thin films with a Eu contents were prepared on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by metal-organic decomposition technique. The structure and the morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, it was found that BET thin films have polycrystalline structure, and the layered-perovskite phase is obtained when the Eu contents exceeds 0.2 (x > 0.2). Also, the ferroelectric characteristics of the BET thin films were found to be dependent on the Eu content. Particularly, the BET films doped with x = 0.75 show better ferroelectric properties (remanent polarization 2Pr = 60.99 C/$cm^2$ and only a little polarization fatigue up to $3.5{\times}10^9$ bipolar switching cycling) than those doped with other Eu contents.

  • To enhance the tunneling electroresistance (TER) ratio of a ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) device using Al-doped HfO2 thin films, a thin insulating layer was prepared on a TiN bottom electrode, for which TiN was preliminarily treated at various temperatures in O2 ambient. The composition and thickness of the inserted insulating layer were optimized at 600℃ and 50 Torr, and the FTJ showed a high TER ratio of 430. During the heat treatments, a titanium oxide layer formed on the surface of TiN, that suppressed oxygen vacancy generation in the ferroelectric thin film. It was found that the fabricated FTJ device exhibits two distinct resistance states with higher tunneling currents by properly heat-treating the TiN bottom electrode of the HfO2-based FTJ devices in O2 ambient.

  • Ferroelectric $PbTiO_3$ thin film is deposited with rf sputtering at substrate temperature of $100-150^{\circ}C$. It is found that this has pyrochlore structure of amorphous type by X-ray diffractive analysis. Thermal annealing has excellent characteristics at $550^{\circ}C$ and laser annealing has best crystalline structure in case of scanning with 50 watts. Interface states in MFST and MFOST structure with a $PbTiO_3$ ferroelectric thin film gate have been investigated from analysis of C-V data. The interface states density has been drastically reduced by inserting an oxide layer between ferroelectric and semiconductor. The observed effect increase feasibility of employing ferroelectric thin films such as nonvolatile memory field effect transistor, IR optical FET, and Image Devices with a ferroelectric layer.
