Abstract
Ferroelectric properties were investigated using SrRuO3/(Bax, Sr1-x)TiO3(BSTO)/SrRuO3 all-perovskite heteroepitaxial capacitors on strontium titanate substrates. The dielectric film had a composition with a Ba content of x=0 to 1, i.e., the whole composition of the SrTiO3–BaTiO3 solid-solution system. The c-axis of the BSTO film was elongated depending on the Ba content, and reached 0.441 nm at the BaTiO3 composition, which was 8.6% larger than the bulk c-axis. A peak relative dielectric constant of 870 and maximum remanent polarization (2Pr) of 58 µC/cm2 were obtained depending on the Ba content at a dielectric thickness of 20 nm. These are the highest storage capacitance capacitor and the thinnest ferroelectric capacitor reported so far. Possibilities for deep submicron ferroelectric and dielectric memory applications are also discussed.
