Electrical Properties of Batio3 thin Films Flash‐Evaporated on si and sio2/Si
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
BaTiO3 (BT) thin films were prepared by flash evaporation onto p‐Si and SiO2/p‐Si. The films are amorphous and remain so after a thickness reduction by 20% by annealing at 500 °C for 3 min. in O2 atmosphere. The electrical characteristics were measured at room temperature.
Electron injection at the Al to BT interface of Al/BT/Si capacitors is enhanced by the Schottky effect, yielding a value of 11.2 for the dielectric constant of BT. Modeling current‐time measurements yields a trap density of 1024 m3, 0.82 eV below the conduction band. Capacitance‐voltage curve shifts due to bias stress on AI/BT/SiO2/Si capacitors are interpreted as caused by electron injection and trapping in the BT films. Starting deposition at 170 °C or post‐deposition annealing reduces the trap density and increases the C‐V curve shifts by bias stress, from 0.3 to over 14 V at bias stress of‐10 V.
