Step coverage of PZT grown by MOCVD was influenced by the growth temperature, the reaction pressure and the aspect ratio of the trench. PZT films grown on Si steps at growth temperatures ranging from 500 to 600°C and at reaction pressures ranging from 3 to 10Torr showed a step coverage of 52 to 86%. The step coverage of PZT grown at 600°C and at 5Torr – conditions which were suitable for the growth of perovskite phase – was 75%. The step coverage of Pt on Si and on SiO2 was 20% and 25%, respectively.
