Abstract
AbstractA scanning microwave microscope (Sm M) for high-throughput characterization of combinatorial dielectric materials has been developed using a lumped constant resonator probe. The probe consists of a microwave oscillator module equipped with a thin conducting needle and an outer conductor ring, which detects the dielectric constant of the sample just beneath the needle as a frequency shift of the resonator. The quantitative analysis of the dielectric constant for the bulk and the thin-film samples was carried out based on the measurement of gap-length dependence of the frequency shift. The analysis method was successfully applied to the characterization of composition-spread BaxSr1-xTiO3 thin film sample. The evaluation of far-field contribution to the frequency shift was found to be crucial for the accurate determination of dielectric constant especially in the characterization of combinatorial thin films.
