ABSTRACT:
A method for making a ferroelectric thin film capacitor. A Ti adhesive layer is formed on a silicon substrate covered with a silicon oxide layer. On this, a Pt film is deposited as a lower capacitor electrode, over which a ferroelectric film of high permittivity, such a crystallized BST film, is deposited by sputtering. Then an upper Pt electrode is deposited over the BST film by sputtering to form a capacitor. Finally, the capacitor is heat-treated in an oxidizing atmosphere to eliminate any leakage holes, that cause leakage current, in the ferroelectric thin film caused by the sputtering.
