Preparation of sub-100nm Thickness PZT thin Films with Chemical Solution Deposition Method for low Voltage Operation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2011
Abstract
PZT thin films with a thickness of 70 nm were successfully fabricated using a modified solution combined with PbTiO3 seed layer. Throughout various approaches, we found that the microstructure of PZT thin film plays an important role in determining the electrical properties such as hysteretic properties and leakage currents, particularly when the thickness is below 100 nm. We modified the precursor system to improve the microstructure in PZT thin film. In addition, we also adopted a thin PbTiO3 seed layer to enhance the initial nucleation density. Finally, we could obtain good electric properties similar to those obtained from 240 nm thick PZT film. The hysteretic properties is excellent enough to operate at a low voltage (2V) for a high density FRAM application.
