SrZrO 3 (SZO) thin films were deposited on (111) Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates via metal organic decomposition method at different temperatures in flowing oxygen or nitrogen atmospheres. The microstructures of the films were characterized by x-ray diffraction. The dielectric properties and the leakage characteristics were investigated as well. The results showed that nitrogen ambient was helpful for the SZO films to crystallize into perovskite phase with polycrystalline structure. Meanwhile, the electric properties varying with annealing conditions were discussed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
