Abstract

In this work, Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3(BST) thin films were deposited on Ti substrates using conductive La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LCSO) as buffer layers. Both BST and LSCO films were prepared by sol-gel methods. The structure and morphology of BST and LSCO films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD results show that both BST and LSCO films have perovskite structure with random orientation. The dielectric properties of BST films were dependent on the thickness of LSCO buffer layers. Upon using LSCO buffer layers, the dielectric properties of BST films were significantly improved. The dielectric constant, tunability, and dielectric loss of BST thin films for LSCO of 150 nm achieved about 453, 0.032 and 31.26% respectively.
