Abstract
Ferroelectric bismuth layer oxide SrBi2Ta2O9(SBT) thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering at 500°C and then, were annealed at 850°C for 1 hr in oxygen ambient. The remanent polarization(2Pr) and the coercive field(2Ec) of a 300nm thick SBT film deposited in 10mtorr were 18.5 μC/cm2 and 150kV/cm at an applied voltage of 5V, respectively. The SBT films showed a fatigue-free characteristics up to 1010 cycles under 5V bipolar pulse. The leakage current density of the SBT films were about 8.6 × 10−8 A/cm2 at 100kV/cm.
