Abstract

SrTiO3 and (Ba,Sr)TiO3 thin films have been prepared by ion beam sputtering on Pd coated sapphire substrates. Film compositions were almost the same as target compositions when powder targets were used. Capacitance-voltage characteristics depended on Sr/Ti ratio of the SrTiO3 films. Only small changes of capacitance value were observed in the range from -3V to 3V when the Sr/Ti ratio was 1.0. Compared with rf-magnetron sputtered film, ion beam sputtered SrTiO3 film indicated lower leakage current density in 50nm thickness. In (Bax,Sr1-x)TiO3 thin films, dielectric constant changed with Ba content (x) and showed a maximum at x=0.5. It also changed with the firing temperature of target powder. The highest value was obtained by using the target powder fired at 900°C. A 100nm thick (Ba0.5,Sr0.5)TiO3 thin film indicated a dielectric constant value of 320.
