Abstract
The reaction mechanism in liquid source chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 [BST] films has been studied using dipivaloylmethanato (DPM) source materials. Effects of substrate temperature and deposition atmosphere on film characteristics were investigated, such as deposition rate of each source material, step coverage, and electrical properties of the film deposited. The decomposition of DPM source materials for BST film deposition was found to be enhanced in O2 atmosphere, as compared with that in N2 atmosphere. Furthermore, the source materials were easier to decompose at higher substrate temperatures. The BST film step coverage became less conformal at higher temperatures and in O2 atmosphere, implying that more precursors with large sticking probabilities were produced therein. Although O2 gas was not necessary to form the BST crystalline structure and to improve the step coverage, the addition of O2 during deposition was found to be necessary to improve the crystallinity and electrical properties of CVD-BST films.
