Abstract

The (Ba0.67Sr0.33)TiO3 thin film for dielectric bolometer mode of uncooled infrared focal plane arrays prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering has been investigated focusing on the dielectric properties. X-ray diffractometer shows the BST films to be well perovskite structure. These films exhibit good surface morphology. The dielectric properties of the BST thin films have been measured as a function of temperature using a HP4284A LCR meter. According to the dielectric constant-temperature curve, the Curie temperature of the BST thin film is about 30 °C, around room temperature. The maximum change in the dielectric constant is as large as 78/k, and more than 21% relative change in the dielectric constant has been obtained.
