Abstract: Thin films of a bismuth layer-structured dielectric oxides (BLSD), SrBi4Ti4O15, with preferential crystal orientation were prepared by means of chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique on (111)Pt/(100)Si substrate with bottom nucleation layers of conductive perovskite oxides, LaNiO3 and SrRuO3. CSD technique was utilized for the film preparation of SrBi4Ti4O15. These films possessed highly crystal orientation of (00l) BLSD planes parallel to the substrate surface. The leakage current densities of the SrBi4Ti4O15 films on (100)SrRuO3//(100)LaNiO3/(111)Pt/Ti/(100)Si and on (100)LaNiO3/(111)Pt/Ti/(100)Si were approximately 10-6 and 10-7 A/cm2 respectively. The dielectric constants of these films in a frequency range of 102 - 106 Hz were from 310 to 350 and 250 to 260 respectively. The value of capacitance change of these films in the range from 20 to 300 oC was about +8 and +5% respectively.

Abstract: Resistance-switching behaviors of the Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3(PCMO) films based metalinsulator- metal (MIM) devices has been investigated. In this work, resistance change of PCMO films deposited with SRO buffer layers by using RF-magnetron sputtering system investigated at room temperature. The ratio of the resistance change of the PCMO films with SRO buffer layers in the high-resistance state to that in the low-resistance state turned out to be much lager than that of the PCMO films without SRO buffer layers. Moreover, The reproducible property of the fabricated samples were improved. Origin of resistance change is not clear, but PCMO films with SRO buffer layers have the possibility of application for nonvolatile memory device.

Abstract: SrRuO3 (SRO) thin films were prepared by laser ablation. The optimum preparation condition of highly electrically conductive SRO thin films was investigated. The substrate temperature (Tsub) was changed from room temperature to 973 K, and the deposition atmosphere was at a high vacuum (P = 10-6 Pa) and in O2 at oxygen pressures (PO2) of 0.13 and 13 Pa. The films deposited at P = 10-6 Pa and PO2 = 0.13 Pa were amorphous structure. At Tsub > 573 K and PO2 = 13 Pa, well-crystallized pseudo-cubic SRO thin films with (110) orientation were obtained. With increasing Tsub, the conductivity of SRO films increased from 7.7×103 to 9.1×104 S·m-1. The epitaxially grown SRO films on (100) SrTiO3 substrates exhibited the highest conductivity of 1.8×105 S·m-1.
