摘要： A Pb3GeO5 phase PGO thin film is provided. This film has ferroelastic properties that make it ideal for many microelectromechanical applications or as decoupling capacitors in high speed multichip modules. This PGO film is uniquely formed in a MOCVD process that permits a thin film, less than 1 mm, of material to be deposited. The process mixes Pd and germanium in a solvent. The solution is heated to form a precursor vapor which is decomposed. The method provides deposition temperatures and pressures. The as-deposited film is also annealed to enhanced the film's ferroelastic characteristics. A ferroelastic capacitor made from the present invention PGO film is also provided.

摘要： A ferroelectric Pb5Ge3O11 (PGO) thin film is provided with a metal organic vapor deposition (MOCVD) process and RTP (Rapid Thermal Process) annealing techniques. The PGO film is substantially crystallization with c-axis orientation at temperature between 450 and 650° C. The PGO film has an average grain size of about 0.5 microns, with a deviation in grain size uniformity of less than 10%. Good ferroelectric properties are obtained for a 150 nm thick film with Ir electrodes. The films also show fatigue-free characteristics: no fatigue was observed up to 1×109 switching cycles. The leakage currents increase with increasing applied voltage, and are about 3.6×10−7 A/cm2 at 100 kV/cm. The dielectric constant shows a behavior similar to most ferroelectric materials, with a maximum dielectric constant of about 45. These high quality MOCVD Pb5Ge3O11 films can be used for high density single transistor ferroelectric memory applications because of the homogeneity of the PGO film grain size.
