Abstract

For the further scaling and lower voltage applications of nonvolatile ferroelectric memory, the effect of Kr/O2 sputtering for SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin film formation was investigated utilizing a SrBi2Ta2O9 target. The 80-nm-thick SBT films were deposited by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100). Compared with Ar/O2 sputtering, the ferroelectric properties such as larger remnant polarization (Pr) of 3.2 µC/cm2 were observed with decrease of leakage current in case of Kr/O2 sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicated that improvement of the crystallinity with suppressing pyrochlore phases and enhancing ferroelectric phases was realized by Kr/O2 sputtering.
