Abstract

Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering and crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) exhibit much thinner BST/Pt interfacial transition layer and higher dielectric properties than the films crystallized by conventional thermal annealing (CTA). HRTEM observations show that the transition layer is 2-3nm thick for RTA and 4-5nm thick for CTA. XPS investigations display that the transition layer is composed of perovskited BST phase and non-perovskited BST phase, and RTA corresponds to much less non-perovskited BST phase than CTA. The reason for non-perovskited BST phase and the dielectric properties of BST films are also presented.
