Abstract

ABSTRACTStable SBT sols for FRAM application were made from Sr-isopropoxide, Bi-acetate, and Ta-ethoxide with 2-ethoxyethanol as a solvent and chelating agent, TEA. The sol were spin-on coated on the Pt /Ti/SiO2/Si substrate. From the IR and DTA/TGA, the 2-ethoxyethanol -triethanolamine sol system is quite stable against aging. 5% excess Bi added sol and 800°C heat treatment of the thin film revealed the most crystallinity. There is a change in the orientation of thin film above 800°C heat treatment from c-axis to(105). The average grain size of thin film is very small, i.e., 40 nm at 800°C, and it has very narrow distributions, and the thickness of the coating were about 100nm, which would promise smaller electrode area and higher yield.
