Electrode structures of Pt/RuO2/Ru on polysilicon and (Ba,Sr)TiO3(BST) thin films on
Pt/RuO2/Ru/poly-Si structures were prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition
(MOCVD). The barrier layers of RuO2/Ru deposited by MOCVD showed a stable
interface and did not affect the surface morphology of the platinum bottom electrode
even at a high annealing temperature of 800°C in oxygen ambient. Contacts in the
annealed state up to 800°C exhibited linear current-voltage characteristics with a
constant specific contact resistance of 5.0 ×10-5 Ω·cm2.
The excellent leakage current characteristics and dielectric properties of 50-nm-thick BST films were due to the stable and
smooth morphologies of the bottom electrodes at BST deposition temperature.
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.
