Qx. Jia et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF BA0.5SR0.5TIO3 THIN-FILM CAPACITORS PRODUCED BY PULSED-LASER DEPOSITION, Integrated ferroelectrics, 10(1-4), 1995, pp. 73-79
High crystallinity Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films were deposited on LaAlO3
substrates by pulsed laser deposition. A conductive metallic oxide, Sr
RuO3, provided not only a good bottom electrode for Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 but
also an excellent seed layer for epitaxial growth of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 o
n it. The epitaxial nature of the Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films on the LaA
lO3 substrate was confirmed by x-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscatt
ering spectroscopy, and cross-sectional transmission electron microsco
py. The quite good dielectric and electrical properties of crystalline
Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films suggest that Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3/SrRuO3 is a goo
d combination in terms of structural, electrical, and dielectric prope
rties of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films.
