摘要
A new low temperature processing method for preparation of SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films is proposed. These thin films were prepared on Pt/Ta/SiO2/Si substrates by a sol-gel method, and their structural and electrical properties were investigated. Films were annealed before and after the top Pt electrode deposition. The 1st annealing was performed in a 760 Torr oxygen atmosphere at 600 degrees C for 30min, and the 2nd annealing was performed in a 5 Torr oxygen atmosphere at 600 degrees C for 30min. The films were well crystallized and fine grained after the 2nd annealing. The electrical properties of the 200-nm-thick film obtained using this new processing method, i.e., the remanent polarization (P-r), coercive field (E(c)), and leakage current density (I-L), were as follows: P-r = 8.5 mu C/cm(2) E(c) = 30kV/cm, and I-L = 1 x 10(-7)A/cm(2) (at 150kV/cm). This new processing method is very attractive for highly integrated ferroelectric nonvolatile memory applications.
