摘要: Changes in bottom electrode morphology and adhesion layer composition upon deposition of BaxSr1−xTiO3 (BSTO) at elevated temperatures have been found, which a negative impact on acoustic wave resonator device performance. The difference between nominal actual are explained by grain boundary diffusion Ti or W their oxidation in-diffusing oxygen, leads to an increased interface roughness the Pt BSTO. It is shown, that room-temperature deposited TiO2 barriers fail protect against diffusion. Also layers prone this phenomenon, limits ability act as high temperature resistant for electrodes ferroelectric thin films.
