The variation of electrical properties of (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ [BST] thin films for Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) capacitors was investigated. BST thin films were deposited on p-Si(100) substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering with temperature range of 500~$600^{\circ}C$. The dielectric properties of MIS capacitors consisting of AUBST/$SiO_2$/Si sandwich structure were measured for various conditions. We examined the characteristics of MIS capacitor with various oxygen pressure, substrate temperature and (Ba+Sr)/Ti ratio. It was found that the leakage current was reduced in MIS capacitor with high quality $SiO_2$ layer was grown on bare p-Si substrate by thermal oxidation. The BST MIS structure showed relatively high capacitance even though it is the combination of high-dielectric BST thin films and $SiO_2$ layer. The charge state densities of the MIS capacitors and Current-voltage characteristics of the MIS capacitor were investigated. By applying $SiO_2$ layer between BST thin films and Si substrate, low leakage current of $10^{-10}$ order was observed.

$Bi_6Mg_2Nb_4O_{21}(BMN)$ thin films were deposited at various substrates by sputtering system for embedded capacitor applications. BMN thin films deposited at room temperature are manufactured as MIM(Metal/Insulator/Metal) structures. Dielectric properties and leakage current density were investigated as a function of various substrates and thickness of BMN thin films. Leakage current density of BMN thin films deposited on CCL(Copper Clad Laminates) showed relatively high value ($1{\times}10^{-3}A/cm^2$) at an applied field of 300 kV/cm on substrates, possibly due to relatively high value of roughness(rms $50{\AA}$) of CCL substrates. 100 nm-thick BMN thin films deposited on Cu/Ti/Si substrates showed the capacitance density of $300 nF/cm^2$, a dielectric constant of 32, a dielectric loss of 2 % at 100 kHz and the leakage current density of $1{\times}10^{-6}A/cm^2$ at an applied field of 300 kV/cm. BMN capacitors are expected to be promising candidates as embedded capacitors for printed circuit board(PCB).

[ $Si_3N_4$ ] thin film is the good material to fabricate the capacitors at MMIC processes. Normally, $Si_3N_4$ thin films is used to dielectric in the MIM capacitor and film thickness is $2000\;{\AA}$. Insulator(or dielectric) was deposited by PECVD at our MIM structure with air bridge which connect between top metal and contact pad. We optimized PECVD process to fabricate the good capacitors which can be applied at the true MMIC. The thickness of our $Si_3N_4$ thin films was $1000\;{\AA}$ shallower than $2000\;{\AA}$, and their breakdown voltages were above 70V.

We fabricated SrTiO$_3$thin film capacitor on the Ag/Si-wafer by RF sputtering deposition. And I-V characteristics and structual analysis of the thin film capacitor are investigated. We found that the leakage current of the films during deposition is strongly denpent on the ambient gas and substrate temperature. Because of increase of activation energy, leakage current increased at high temperature and resistivity of the films was decreased. According to the increase of oxygen gas flow rate, the conductivity of thin film capacitor was increased and leakage current was decreased.

BaTiO$_3$thin film capacitor were prepared on Pt(100)/SiO$_2$/Si(100)wafer by RF sputtering technique. Dielectric and electrical characteristics of the thin film capacitor are investigated. The Dielectric constant and loss were about 683 and 5[%], respectively. We found that the leakage current of thin film capacitor is depend on RF power during deposition. Because of increase of activation energy, leakage current inclosed at high RF power and sheet resistivity of the films was decreased. Swithching voltage of thin film capacitor was 4.4[V]

Ferroelectric $Bi_{4-x}$La$_{x}$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ (BLT)thin films with various compositions(x=0.65, 0.70, 0.75) were prepared on Pt//Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrate by metal-organic deposition. The electrical and structural characteristics of BLT thin films were investigated to develop ferroelectric thin films for capacitor layers of FRAM. After spin coating, thin films were annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 1hour in oxygen atomosphere. Scanning electron micrographs showed uniform surfaces composed of rod-like grains. The $Bi_{4-x}$La$_{x}$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ (x=0.70) thin film capacitors with a Pt top electrode showed better ferroelectric properties than other films.

The thin films of high pemitivity 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 4,000 [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 l[MHz].
