Bi-layered ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) films were successfully prep
ared on Pt/SiB2/Si and Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at 550 degrees C by pl
asma-enhanced metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. A BTO (Bi4Ti3O12
or Bi2Ti4O11) phase formed at the interface between SBT films and Pt/
Ti/SiO2/Si during the SBT deposition at 550 degrees C. The BTO phase d
ecreased the leakage current density of the SET films. The leakage cur
rent densities of SBT films deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si and Pt/SiO2/Si
substrates were about 5.0 X 10(-8) and 5.0 X 10(-7) A/cm(2) at an appl
ied field of 300 kV/cm, respectively. The SBT films were controlled by
Schottky emission, The Schottky barrier heights of SBT films deposite
d on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si and Pt/SiO2/Si were about 1.2 and 0.8 eV, respectiv
