Abstract
AbstractLow‐pressure plasma jet system with two hollow cathodes was used for deposition of Bax Sr1–x TiO3 (BSTO) ferroelectric thin films. Two RF hollow cathode plasma jet guns were pointed to the substrate where BSTO thin films were deposited. High density RF hollow cathode discharge was generated in ceramic nozzles made of SrTiO3 (STO) and BaTiO3 (BTO). Pulse modulated RF power was applied on water‐cooled copper block insulated from the plasma by ceramic and grounded stainless steel shield. In the experiment, the composition of BSTO films was controlled by magnitude of average RF power applied on particular plasma jet guns with STO and BTO nozzles. By this method, BSTO films were deposited on single crystal silicon substrate and on Pt top of Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si multi‐layer system. X‐ray diffraction proved that BSTO thin films were polycrystalline with perovskite structure and measurement of dielectric properties showed ferroelectric hysteresis loop at room temperature. Time resolved Langmuir probe system and plasma impedance monitor were used for in situ plasma diagnostics and control of deposition conditions. Furthermore, plasma jets were analyzed during the deposition process by spatially resolved optical emission spectroscopy. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
