Abstract

Effects of Pt and W2N/W bottom electrodes on dielectric properties of 1000 Å thick BaTiO3 thin film capacitors are studied. The tetragonality of BaTiO3 on W2N/W electrode is better than that of BaTiO3 on Pt electrode and leakage current of W2N/W/BaTiO3/Au capacitor is four orders of magnitude less than that of Pt/BaTiO3/Au capacitor. The excellent properties of W2N/W/BaTiO3/Au capacitor is ascribed to both of the tetragonal structure of WO3 formed at the interface of W/BaTiO3 and the diffusion barrier property of W2N preventing the interfacial reaction among bottom electrodes, BaTiO3, and Si.
