Abstract

Sol-gel spin-coating technique was used to produce Nb2O5 thin films on silicon substrates from Nb(OC2H5)5 precursor. The films were heat-treated at temperatures between $600^{\circ}C$ and 100$0^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere and their crystalline phases, chemical states, and dielectric characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and C-V measurements, respectively. After 1 hour heat-treatment at 80$0^{\circ}C$, T-type Nb2O5 was formed, and its chemical composition was homogeneous with no appreciable SiO2 oxide at interfaces between the films and substrates. The films heat-treated at temperatures between $600^{\circ}C$ and 80$0^{\circ}C$ exhibit dielectric constant of less than 20 while the films heat treated at 100$0^{\circ}C$ show dielectric constant of 28.
