H. Uchida et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF SELF-PATTERNED SRBI2TA2O9 THIN-FILMS FROM PHOTO-SENSITIVE SOLUTIONS, Integrated ferroelectrics, 16(1-4), 1997, pp. 41-52
Self-patterned SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films were successfully fabricated from
photo-sensitive solutions by means of UV irradiation through photo ma
sks. After conventional baking and wet etching the films were annealed
. The photo-sensitive SrBi2Ta2O9 solutions give high resolution negati
ve-pattern of the mask image down to 1 mu m line width by deep UV irra
diation at 900 mJ/cm(2). The capacitor characteristics of the 210 nm t
hick films fabricated on the Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by this process
showed 2Pr values of 17 mu C/cm(2), 2Ec of 89 kV/cm, and leakage curre
nt densities of 5x10(9) A/cm(2) at 5 V. The films showed no fatigue af
ter 1x10(11) switching cycles.
