摘 要
本文主要是研究添加鑭系元素釹(Nd) 、鑭(La)之鈦酸鉍鐵電薄膜(Bi4-xLnxTi3O12,BLnT)指向控制於非揮發性鐵電記憶體之應用。其鐵電薄膜是利用化學溶液旋鍍法(chemical solution deposition,CSD)於白金基板(Pt/TiOx/SiO2/Si)上鍍覆所得到,實驗中發現薄膜之結晶結構會隨著鑭系元素添加量的多寡 結晶化溫度不同及結晶化時初鍍薄膜厚度不同而有所改變。在本論文中亦提出一晶粒成長模型用於解釋不同結晶指向薄膜成長行為。同時探討不同結晶指向之BLnT鐵電薄膜表面微觀結構、介電特性、漏電行為、及鐵電特性之差異。並且利用不同的鑭系元素的添加來驗證晶粒成長模型是否依然適用。
不同釹含量之鈦酸鉍鐵電薄膜(Bi4-xNdxTi3O12,BNdT)於640℃低溫熱處理條件下,即可完全轉變成具有層狀鈣鈦礦結構之多晶薄膜,而薄膜內部之晶粒會隨著熱處理的上升而逐漸長大,薄膜的結晶結構會由非C軸指向轉變成C軸指向,而晶粒形貌亦會從長軸晶粒轉變成平板狀晶粒,而C軸指向的晶粒成長會受到釹元素的添加而被抑制。並且薄膜的電性也強烈受到熱處理溫度和釹元素添加量的不同而有所不同,在最佳熱處理溫度為680℃,而且薄膜內部釹含量達X=0.75時,薄膜的鐵電性質達到最好,其殘留極化量(remanent polarization;2Pr)為38μC/cm2,且矯頑電場為98kV/cm。
同時也選用在最佳熱處理溫度為680℃條件下,進行不同層數之BNdT鐵電薄膜熱處理程序實驗,來探討結晶化時初鍍薄膜厚度不同對薄膜結晶結構之影響。在利用分層熱處理方式時,可以得到具有a軸優選指向的薄膜,採用兩層熱處理方式,則得到具有(117)優選指向的薄膜,而採用12層熱處理方式,可以得到具有多種結晶指向的薄膜,根據本論文所提的晶粒成長模型,其中可以發現(117)晶粒成長是會受到薄膜厚度的尺寸效應而被抑制,而a軸晶粒成長則無此效應。並且利用分層熱處理方法所得到的BNdT鐵電薄膜具有最大殘留極化量、抗疲勞特性佳和不錯的電荷保持特性。
添加鑭元素之鈦酸鉍鐵電薄膜(Bi4-xLaxTi3O12,BLT),其薄膜結晶行為與BNdT鐵電薄膜相同,在熱處理溫度為680℃,而且薄膜內部鑭元素含量達X=0.75時,薄膜的鐵電性質亦達到最好,其殘留極化量(remanent polarization,2Pr)為22.1μC/cm2,且矯頑電場為90.3 kV/cm。而且在不同層數之BLT鐵電薄膜熱處理程序實驗中,同樣地,(117)晶粒成長受到薄膜厚度的尺寸效應也於BLT鐵電薄膜中被觀察到,因此本文所提出的晶粒成長模型是不受不同鑭系元素添加所影響。不過,不同於BNdT鐵電薄膜,利用分層熱處理方法所得到的BLT鐵電薄膜的殘留極化量較經兩層熱處理方式所的薄膜還來的小,其主要原因是經分層熱處理的BLT鐵電薄膜內部含有為數不少不具極化貢獻的(010)指向晶粒所致。
Abstract
Orientation control of lanthanide (Nd, La)-substituted bismuth titanate thin films (Bi4-xLnxTi3O12, BLnT) for nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory applications was investigated in this research. The BLnT thin films were prepared on Pt/TiOx/SiO2/Si using chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique. The crystal structure of BLnT thin films was found to be changed with the different doping content of lanthanide elements, annealing temperatures and crystallization schemes. A probable grain growth model was provided to explain the orientation-dependent grain growth of BLnT thin films. The surface structure, dielectric, leakage current and ferroelectric properties of different oriented BLnT thin films were also examined in this work. The different lanthanide element doping of BLnT films was also used to demonstrate the orientation-dependent grain growth model of thin films.
Regarding to Nd-substituted bismuth titanate, Bi4-xNdxTi3O12 (BNdT) thin films were crystallized with layered perovskite phase and no second phase was observed in films when the annealing temperature was above 640℃, and the grain size was considerably increased as the annealing temperature increased. At low crystallization temperature, the films tend to be dominated with off-c-axis grains, but become to crystallize with c-axis-oriented at higher temperature due to the change of nucleation at the electrode interface. In addition, Nd addition seems to retard the grain growth of BNdT thin films. The electric behaviors of BNdT films are also dependent on the different annealing temperature and Nd doping content. For example, the best ferroelectric properties were observed for Bi3.25Nd0.75Ti3O12 films crystallized at 680℃ with 2Pr and Ec to be 38 μC/cm2 and 98 kV/cm respectively.
Crystallization behavior of Bi3.5Nd0.5Ti3O12 thin films was found to change with the crystallization schemes applied. Enhanced a-axis-oriented crystal growth occurred when Bi3.5Nd0.5Ti3O12 films derived with layer-by-layer crystallization. In contrast, the films derived with 12-layer crystallization were dominated by random diffractions. Examination of structural evolution of Bi3.5Nd0.5Ti3O12 films has indicated that, owing to the geometrical effect, the growth of (117)-oriented crystals was restricted by the layer thickness, while the growth of a-axis-oriented crystals was not. BNdT films derived with layer-by-layer crystallization generally show high remanent polarization, fatigue resistance, and better endurance.
Compared to BNdT films, similar trend was also found for the La-substituted bismuth titanate (Bi4-xLaxTi3O12, BLT) thin films in terms of the crystallization temperature and La addition. In addition, layer-by-layer crystallization also applies to BLT films, but the ferroelectric response was not optimized as much as BNdT, suggesting the delicate effect of lanthanide addition to the bismuth titanate with different element.
