초록

In an attempt to improve the electrical characteristics of tantalum pentoxide dielectric film, silicon substrate was reacted with a nitrogen plasma to form a silicon nitride of 50.angs. and then tantalum pentoxide thin films were formed by reactive sputtering in the same chamber. Breakdown field and leakage current density were measured to be 2.9 MV/cm and 9${\times}10^{8}\;A/cm^{2}$ respectively in these films whose thickness was about 180.angs.. With annealing at rectangular waveguides with a slant grid are investigated here. In particular, 900.deg. C in oxygen ambient for 100 minutes, breakdown field and leakage current density were improved to be 4.8 MV/cm and 1.61.6${\times}10^{8}\;A/cm^{2}$ respectively. It turned out that the electrical characteristics could also be improved by oxygen plasma post-treatment and the conduction mechanism at high electric field proved to be Schottky emission in these double-layered films.
