Highly C-Axis Oriented Barium Titanate Ferroelectric Films Deposited on SrTiO3 Substrate Using an Off-Axis Sputtered Conductive Oxide Layer as Bottom Electrode

Article Preview

Abstract:

BaTiO3 (BTO) thin films were grown on (100) SrTiO3 (STO) single crystal substrates using the RF-magnetron sputtering technique (RFMS) in both pure argon and mixed Ar/O2 (20% O2) atmosphere. A La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) layer was deposited as the bottom electrode by a 90° off-axis single-target RFMS. θ-2θ X-ray diffraction measurements showed that BTO thin films grown in both cases had a highly preferred c-axis orientation (001). From hysteresis measurements, it was confirmed that both films are ferroelectric. The ferroelectric polarizations 2Pr were 6.6 μC/cm2 and 27.1 μC/cm2, for the BTO films grown in pure argon and in mixed Ar/O2 atmosphere, respectively.
