Abstract

Flexible BaTiO3 films as dielectric materials for pulse power capacitors were deposited on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The growth behavior, microstructure and electrical properties of the flexible BaTiO3 films were dependent on the O 2/Ar gas ratio during sputtering. All BaTiO3 films were amorphous, regardless of the O2/Ar gas ratio, due to the low substrate temperature. The leakage current and dielectric constant of the BaTiO3 films were affected by an electron transfer mechanism. The BaTiO3 films prepared at an O2/Ar gas ratio of 1 exhibited a dielectric constant of 53 at 1 kHz and a leakage current of 4 × 10 -7 A at 500 kV/cm. This suggests that sputter-deposited flexible BaTiO3 films are promising dielectrics that can be used in pulse power capacitors owing to their high dielectric constant, low leakage current and stable preparation by sputtering.
