Effect of Rapid Thermal Processing on the Crystallization Properties of PbTiO3 Ferroelectric Thin Film
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
The fabrication methods of ferroelectric (FE) thin films have received special attention in recent years because of the needs of FE thin films integrated with semiconductor devices. Rapid thermal processing (RTP) has developed in fabrication of FE thin films because it can reduce processing temperature and time duration, and it also improves the properties of FE thin films compatible with semiconductor devices. The thin film samples used were prepared by a multi-ion-beam reactive cosputtering system (MIBRECS) at room temperature. The samples were then subjected to a post-deposition annealing in a RTP system. It was found that PbTiO3 (PT) thin film could grow on amorphous or polycrystal interfacial layer and the PT thin films annealed by RTP showed the prefered [110] and [100] textures. The effect of interfacial layer on the crystallization and microstructure of the films was also discussed.
