摘要
The electrical properties and crystallization of Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O-3 (PZT) thin films grown on RuO2 electrodes by the sol-gel process have been studied. It was found that the amorphous as-deposited thin film first transforms to a pyrochlore phase at 500 degrees C. On further annealing, perovskite PZT begins to crystallize at about 600 degrees C. TEM anlysis reveals that a pyrochlore-type second phase still exists in the films even after annealing to temperatures of 750 degrees C for 10 min. These PZT films are fatigue-free, but they show large property variation and high leakage currents (J = 10(-3) A cm(-2) at 1 V). An 800 degrees C annealing treatment, for 10 min in air, of the RuO2 bottom electrode prior to film deposition enhanced perovskite PZT nucleation, thereby eliminating the pyrochlore-type second phase. In addition, the leakage currents of PZT films grown on annealed RuO, electrodes are about two orders of magnitude lower than those of PZT films grown on unannealed RuO2. It is also observed that annealing the entire capacitor stack after the top electrode deposition improved capacitor properties.
