Abstract

We have formed ferroelectric Sr₂(Ta_1-x,Nb _x)₂O₇ (STN) film by using our developed 13.56 and 100 MHz coupled mode rf-sputtering system. For forming ferroelectric STN [perovskite Sr₂(Ta_1-x,Nb_x)₂O ₇ phase], Ta and Nb are oxidized to a pentad, i.e., (Ta _1-x,Nb_x)₂O₇ needs to be formed. The oxidations of Ta and Nb to pentad are difficult, because their ionization energies are very large. This means that oxygen vacancies exist in the films. We have successfully formed STN film whose oxygen vacancies are reduced by the coupled mode rf-sputtering system.
