Jm. Lee et al., Improvements in electrical properties of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 capacitor with chemical vapor deposited Pt top electrode using Pt hexafluoroacetylacetonate, APPL PHYS L, 74(23), 1999, pp. 3489-3491
Electrical properties of (Bs,Sr)TiO3 (BST) thin films are characterized wit
h sputtered and metal organic chemical vapor deposited (MOCVD) Pt top elect
rodes. BST films with MOCVD Pt top electrodes, which were deposited using P
t(CF3COCHCOCF3)(2) (Pt-HFA) as a precursor, showed less leakage current wit
hout bulged curves and a higher dielectric constant than those with sputter
ed Pt top electrodes. The improvement of electrical properties seems to res
ult from the reduction of interface trap sites with the incorporation of fl
uorine atoms from HFA ligands. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S00
