Thin film electrodes of the perovskite oxide (Ba,Sr)RuO3 (BSR) were deposited on 4 inch ptype Si wafers by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for the practical (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BST) capacitor application using a new single cocktail source. The source materials used for the MOCVD BSR process were Ba(METHD)2, Sr(METHD)2 and Ru(METHD)3 and these were dissolved in n-butyl acetate. The source-feeding rate was precisely controlled by liquid mass flow controllers (LMFC). As-deposited BSR films possessed a (110)-oriented structure, with good uniformity and adherence on bare Si wafer. The phase formation was strongly affected by the oxygen flow rate and the input source rate. As the oxygen flow rate increased, the Ru/(Ba+Sr) composition ratio in the film decreased, while the Ba/(Ba+Sr) ratio was almost independent of the oxygen flow rate. The dielectric constants of BST capacitors fabricated using these electrodes was greater than 500.
