Perovskite thin films grown by direct liquid injection MOCVD

2007

Abstract The continuous scaling down of devices dimensions, in silicon technology, imposes to replace silicon dioxide. Among the potential candidates for new capacitors, some perovskite structure materials (such as titanate or zirconate) show interesting characteristics. The first way to develop perovskite films is to use a mixture of two β-diketonates by varying the solution's cationic ratio. However, our previous results on SrZrO3 showed that a wide parametric study had to be carried on. Another way is to design novel heterometallic precursors that contain both cations on the same molecule. The ligands could be chosen so that peculiar evaporation and decomposition temperatures could be ob…
