Summary :

A 2-step deposition technique was introduced in the heteroepitaxial growth of barium titanate (BaTiO3) thin films. Heteroepitaxial BaTiO3 films were prepared on a SrRuO3/SrTiO3 substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with three kinds of deposition method: low RF-power deposition, 2-step deposition, and high power deposition. The crystallographic and ferroelectric properties were evaluated for the heteroepitaxial films. When the epitaxial capacitor was prepared by the 2-step deposition technique, the ferroelectric remanent polarization, 2Pr, was maximized. The optimized deposition condition to improve the crystal quality is discussed in terms of damage and diffusion, which could be introduced into the oxide films during the epitaxial growth, and controlled by the RF-power and deposition time, respectively.
