The Influences of Annealing Temperatures on the Properties of the Sol-Gel Deposition SrBi4Ti4O15 Thin Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBT) thin films were deposited onto the SiO2/p-Si(100) and Pt/Ti/SiO2/p-Si(100) substrates by using sol-gel method. After deposition, the SBT thin films were then heated by a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process conducted in air for 1min at 600-800°C. The surface morphologies and the crystalline structures of the SBT thin films were investigated by using SEM and XRD patterns. The grain sizes increased and the pores decreased with rising RTA temperature. In addition, the coercive field decreased and the remanent polarization and saturation polarization increased with rising RTA temperature. The lnJ-E1/2 curves of the SBT thin films were also investigated to find the leakage current mechanisms correspond either to the Schottky emission or to the Poole-Frenkel emission.
