Progress in the developments of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BST) thin films for Gigabit era DRAMs

Theoretical calculations are presented for equilibrium concentrations of zinc and oxygen vacancies in ZnO. Results are presented at the sintering temperature, and also at room temperature. Theoretical calculations of reaction constants show that the intrinsic donor is the oxygen vacancy, rather than the zinc interstitial. The depletion of vacancies in the surface region, as the ZnO is cooled from the sintering temperature, is also calculated. Homojunction effects which are caused by such depletion are shown to be small.

Intrinsic defects in ZnO varistors

Various donor dopants such as Y3+ and Nb5+ were incorporated in SrTiO3 in amounts ⩽25 mol % during sintering in air at 1450° C for ⩽ 15 h Dense ceramic materials with grains of optimum uniformity and largest size were obtained when the cation stoichiometry was adjusted to allow for charge compensation of the donor ions by strontium vacancies For donor levels ≳ 03 mol%, the dielectric constant measured at 25° C and 1 kHz was up to two orders of magnitude higher than that of undoped strontium titanate The increase in permittivity, however, was dependent on grain size, was influenced by the method of electrode application, and was suppressed by the presence of ≲ 01 mol% Mn in the ceramic These observations, together with data obtained from electrical measurements at other temperatures and frequencies, were consistent with interpretation of the anomalously high dielectric constant as a boundary-layer effect resulting from semiconducting grains and weakly insulating grain-surfaces It is suggested that donor doping influences the electrical properties of SrTiO3 mainly by increasing the volatility of oxygen from the grains during sintering, and by decreasing the rate of re-oxidation during cooling
