  1. Preparation and electrical properties of (Ba1-x,Srx)(Ti1-y,Zry)O3 thin films for application at high density DRAM Sang-Shik, Park Dept. of Materials Engineering, Sangju National University, Sangju, kyungbuk, 742-711, Korea

  2. OUTLINE ▶ Requirements of capacitor for high density DRAM - High dielectric Constant - Low leakage current density - Fast dielectric response Most promising dielectric material : (Ba1-x Srx )TiO3 BST films by CVD,PLD,Sputtering, MOD showed good properties ▶ Requirements of dielectric films for Gbit-scale DRAM application ≪ 25fF/cell in a cell size smaller than 0.1μm2 ≫ - Lower leakage current at thinner film - Higher dielectric constant and lower loss compared to BST - Long life time under dc voltage stress

  3. Introduction DRAM cell structure and Key issues BST - Uniformity - Thickness - Composition - Grain size / Orientation Ref. ; IBM J. Res. Develop., 43(3), 367 (1999)

  4. Introduction ▶ Ti4+ ; major paths of leakage current in BaTiO3, BST Zr4+ ; More stable than the Ti4+ with respect to Degradation Study of Ba(Ti1-xZrx) O3 (R.

  14. Summary • (Ba1-x,Srx)(Ti1-yZry)O3 thin films were deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering • Zr/Ti ratio of films decreased significantly with increasing chamber pressure. • This variations affected microstructure and electrical properties. • ▶when increasing chamber pressure • - Decrease of Zr content • - Decrease of Crystallinity • - Increase of grain size and roughness • - Increase of dielectric constant due to decrease of Zr • - Increase of leakage current density • ▶ Electrical properties of BSTZ thin films • - Dielectric constant and dissipation factor : 380~525 and 0.03~0.05 @ 100kHz • - Leakage Current Density : 10-7~ 10-8A/cm2 order @ 200kV/cm • - Paraelectric properties and schottky emission conduction • ▶BSTZ films appeared to be attractive for high density DRAM and • should be further studied together BST.
