Abstract
RF-sputtered SrTiO3 thin film was investigated by Spectroscopic Ellips ometry. The spectra calculated by using Brugman-Effective Medium Appro ximation theory compared with the experimental curves for delta and ps i of SrTiO3 thin films. Good agreement was found between experimental and calculated curves. The effective void fraction obtained in experim ents is 28-38 % with difference thickness of SrTiO3 films. The decreas e in void fraction with increasing O-2 pressure during reactive sputte ring growth was explained in terms of non-stoichiometry of the oxygen.
