Abstract

Strontium ruthenium oxide (SrRuO3) was deposited on Pt/(100)Si substrates at varying temperatures and 300 mTorr oxygen pressure using the pulsed laser deposition method and was found to be highly crystalline and textured when deposited over 450°C. After achieving highly crystalline SrRuO3 films, capacitors using the ferroelectric material - PZT (PbZr0.5Ti0.48O3) were successfully fabricated on Pt/(100)Si substrates. The ferroelectric properties of the films were determined by the RT66A Standardized Ferroelectric Test System. The structural properties of the films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Transmission electron microscopy was used to determine the crystallinity and quality of interfaces among different layers.
