Abstract

Nanoscale oxide thin films such as Ba1‐xSrxTiO3 (BST), SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT), and PbZr1‐xTixO3 (PZT) that have a high dielectric constant and excellent ferroelectric properties have been receiving greatly increased attention, especially for high density memories in next generation integrated circuits. However, with increasing deposition temperature the surface roughness of the films increases, which results in high leakage current, and when the thickness of oxide films is decreased, the apparent bulk‐like properties of thin films tend to worsen due to the increased influence of the interface. To solve these problems, novel MOCVD techniques, plasma enhanced deposition, and a two step process, were developed for high quality oxide thin films.
