Abstract

PZT thin film deposited by rf magnetron sputtering was annealed by rapid thermal process(RTP) in PbO ambient to prevent vaporing of Pb and interface reactions. Si and TiN/Ti/Si substrates were prepared to survey application of TiN/Ti layer which can prevent interface interaction with Si and crack of PZT thin films. As temperature increased. PZT thin films surface on Si substrate appeared more severe cracks which should affect electrical properties deadly. TiN/Ti(40-150${\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) layer applied for buffer layer suppressed interface interaction and film cracking. The measured leakage current(LC) and breakdown voltage(BV) of PZT thin film on TiN/Ti/Si substrate annealed at 650$^{\circ}$C for 15 sec (thickness of 2500$\AA$) were 38 nA/cm2 and 3.5 MV/cm and dielectric constant was 310 at 1 MHz, and remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) were 6.4${\mu}C/cm^{2}$ and 0.2MV/cm at 60 Hz, respectively.
