Description

We have developed a new low temperature growth technique for Bi4Ti3O12 thin films using a MOCVD method in which an ultra-thin double buffer layer (5-nm thick Bi4Ti3O12/5-nm thick TiO2) is used to control the crystallization and fine grain structure. The 100-nm thick Bi4Ti3O12 thin films fabricated at 400°C showed an extremely smooth surface morphology and good electrical properties, namely, a large remanent polarization of P r=11 µ C/cm2, a coercive field of E c=90 kV/cm and a low leakage current I L=7× 10-9 A/cm2 at 3 V. Moreover, we successfully fabricated 50-nm ultra thin Bi4Ti3O12 films with P r=9 µ C/cm2 and E c=120 kV/cm at 3 V. For the first time, the fatigue free property, which is very important for nonvolatile ferroelectric memory (NVFRAM) applications, was confirmed up to 1× 1012 switching cycles.
