Abstract
Fatigue-free bilayered SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) films were successfully prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The applied voltage showing the maximum capacitance decreases with increasing temperature. The remanent polarization (2Pr) and the coercive field (2Ec) obtained for the SBT films were 13 μ/cm2 and 128 kV/cm at an applied voltage of 5 V at 30°C. The films measured at room temperature and 100°C showed fatigue-free characteristics up to 1011 cycles under 5 V bipolar square pulses. SBT films show the retention loss of only 6% after 10 years at 100°C. The leakage current density is less than 4.5 × 10-7 μA/cm2 at an applied voltage of 3 V at 75°C. The dominant transport mechanism of SBT films was an interface limited Schottky emission. The Pt/SBT contacts have a Schottky barrier height of ΦB = 0.8 ∼ 1.04 eV.
