Abstract

We successfully deposited high quality biaxially oriented BaxSr1-xTiO3 thin films on polycrystalline yttrium iron garnet substrates using both the metal-organic chemical liquid deposition and pulsed laser deposition methods with biaxially oriented MgO and yttriumstabilized- zirconia buffer layers. The dielectric losses of the films range from 0.005 to 0.015 while 25% of dielectric constant change was observed with 40V bias voltage up to 10 MHz. Both the dissipation and dielectric constant of the films remained nearly constants over a wide temperature range. A dual-tuning microwave phase shifter using a BST film grown on an MgO buffered polycrystalline YIG substrate was fabricated. A significant phase shift was observed in a wide frequency range when an electric bias or a magnetic field was applied to the device.
