Abstract

The effect of a post deposition anneal on the structure and dielectric properties of epitaxial Sr1−x, BaxTiO3 (SBT) thin films with x = 0.35, 0.50 and 0.60 has been measured. The films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on LaAlO3(001) substrates at 750°C in 350 mTorr of oxygen. The asdeposited films were single phase, (001) oriented with 0)-scan widths for the (002) reflection between 0.160 and 0.50'. The dielectric properties of the as-deposited films exhibit a broad temperature dependence and a peak which is as much as 50 K below the peak in bulk SBT. Also, the lattice parameter, as measured by x-ray diffraction, of the as-deposited films was larger than the bulk indicating strain in the films. The as-deposited films were annealed for 8 hours at 900°C in oxygen. The dielectric properties of the annealed films were closer to that of bulk SBT and the lattice parameter was closer to the bulk lattice parameter indicating a reduction of strain. Annealing of as-deposited films also resulted in an increased dielectric tuning without increased dielectric loss.
