Abstract : Barium strontium titanate thin films including barium titanate BaTiO3 and strontium titanate SrTiO3 end members were fabricated on Pt-coated silicon and bare silicon substrates by metalorganic solution deposition (MOSD) technique using acetate precursors. Polycrystalline (Ba1—xSrx)TiO3 thin films were obtained by rapid thermal annealing at 700 °C for 60 s. The films were characterized for electrical properties in terms of dielectric permitivity, dissipation factor, and dc leakage current characteristics. A peak in dielectric constant was observed for (Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3 composition at room temperature. The typical measured small signal dielectric constant and dissipation factor for 0.5 μm-thick (Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3 films at 100 kHz were 450 and 0.012, respectively. (Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3 thin films exhibited a high voltage dependent tunability of 47% at an applied electric field of 0.5 MV/cm. The interfacial properties of Au/(Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3/Si structure were examined by high frequency C—V measurements. A charge storage density of 39.6 fC/μm2 and leakage current density of less than 10—8 A/cm2 were obtained for (Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3 thin films at an applied electric field of 100 kV/cm
