摘要
利用偏轴射频磁控溅射法,在(001)SrTiO_3(STO)单晶基片上制备了Pt/BiFeO_3/La_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)CoO_3/STO(Pt/BFO/LSCO/STO)异质结电容器。研究了BiFeO_3薄膜的结构和物理性能。原子力显微镜(AFM)和X射线衍射(XRD)分析表明:BFO薄膜结晶质量良好,且为单相(00l)外延钙钛矿结构。介电性能测试结果发现:在5 V驱动电压下,Pt/BFO/LSCO电容器呈现饱和的蝶形回线,调谐率和介电损耗分别为14.1%和0.19。此外,阻变机制研究表明:在0→5→0 V正向电压和0→–5→0 V负向电压下,阻变均为高阻向低阻转变规律,呈现为铁电二极管的阻变开关行为。通过I–V曲线拟合,得到0→5→0→–5 V时阻变机制为空间电荷限制电流陷阱能级的填充和脱陷,而–5→0 V时符合界面限制的F-N隧穿机制。
The Pt/BiFeO_3/La_(0.5) Sr_(0.5) CoO_3/SrTiO_3(Pt/BFO/LSCO/STO) heterostructures were fabricated on(001) SrTiO_3 substrate by off-axis RF magnetron sputtering, on which epitaxial BiFeO_3(BFO) thin films were suecessfully grown. The BFO thin film shows good crystal quality with(00 l) epitaxial growth as confirmed by the atomic force microscope(AFM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Pt/BFO/LSCO capacitor exhibits a saturated butterfly loop with tuning rate of 14.1% and dielectric loss of 0.19 at 5 V driving voltage. Moreover, the resistance changes from high value to low value with positive voltage 0→5→0 V and negative voltage 0→–5→0 V, which displays switch behavior of ferroelectric diode resistance-change. Based on the I–V fitting curves, the resistance change mechanism fits the space charge limited current trap level when 0→5→0→–5 V and the interface limit F-N tunneling mechanism as –5→0 V, respectively.
