[6a-S41-1] Crystal Structure and Hysteresis Characteristics of Bi4-xLaxTi3O12 Ferroelectric thin films formed on Si(100) substrates
Keywords:bismuth-layer-structured ferroelectric thin film, crystal structure, hysteresis characteristics
It was confirmed that Bi4-xLaxTi3O12 (BLT) thin films (thickness: 18 ~ 71 nm) formed on Si(100) substrates with chemical solution deposition method had high preferential crystal orientation, and that the thinner films have higher orientation. It was also found that lattice distortion occurred in the BLT crystal of the thin films. The Au/BLT(~18nm)/p-Si(100) capacitor structure showed hysteresis, which is caused by ferroelectricity of BLT, in capacitance-voltage characteristics. In this presentation we will discuss about crystal orientation of BLT on Si(100), lattice distortion, interface layer, and their effect on the hysteresis characteristics.
