摘要
We have grown 5 mol % MgO-doped multilayered Ba1-xSrxTiO3 (BST) films having a nominal thickness of 220 nm with compositions of each layer as BST60/40, BST75/25, and BST90/10 (upgraded). We also fabricated undoped upgraded BST and uniform BST60/40 films for comparison. Results show that Mg-doping improves dielectric loss (tan delta=0.008) and yields better surface roughness (similar to 3.1 nm) compared to undoped upgraded BST. Mg-doped films displayed excellent temperature stability with temperature coefficient of capacitances of -0.94 and 1.14 ppt/degrees C from 20 to 90 degrees C and 20 to -10 degrees C, respectively. Mg doping resulted in a moderate dielectric tunability (29%) compared to undoped BST (65.5%) at 444 kV/cm. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
