Abstract

The influence of Mg doping on the structure, microstructure, surface morphological and dielectric properties of Ba1-xSrxTiO3 (BST) thin films has been measured and analyzed. The films were fabricated on MgO substrates with the metalorganic solution deposition technique using carboxylate-alkoxide precursors and annealed at 800 oC in an oxygen atmosphere. The structure, microstructure, surface morphology and film/substrate compositional quality were evaluated with glancing angle x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Auger electron spectroscopy studies. Dielectric properties of unpatterned films were measured at 10 GHz using a coupled and tuned split dielectric resonator system. The Mg-doped BST films exhibited improved dielectric and properties compared to undoped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 thin filmsand are candidates for integration into tunable devices.
