Pb(Zr, Ti)O 3 thin films were grown on 8-inch Ir(111)/SiO 2 /Si substrate by a MOCVD system aiming at application utilizing high-density ferroelectric memory (FRAM). Two types of solvents, THF and cyclohexane were used for liquid source delivery. It was found that the ferroelectric properties of the MOCVD-PZT films using cyclohexane solvent were better than them using THF solvent. By choosing cyclohexane as solvent, the MOCVD-PZT thin films showed strong 111 preferred orientation and the Pt/PZT/Ir capacitors exhibited promising ferroelectric performances, for instance, large switching charge (Qsw) of 56.4 uC/cm 2 .
Thin Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 films were grown on a 8-inch Ir(111)/SiO2/Si substrate by a liquid-source MOCVD system. These films showed dependency of ferroelectric properties on several deposition parameters. PZT single phase was obtained at a substrate temperature of 620°C. The film showed (111) preferred orientation and the Pt/Pb1.16(Zr0.45, Ti0.55)Ox(115nm)/Ir capacitors had excellent ferroelectric properties. The switching charge (Qsw) value (at 2V), saturation voltage (V90) and leakage current density (at 1.5V) were 47.4uC/cm2, 1.7V and 7.5E-8A/cm2 respectively. The capacitor made by using an IrOx top electrode had excellent fatigue-free property.
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.
