    Abstract

    Ca0.15Zr0.85O1.85 (CSZ) films were grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at various temperatures using radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with a CaZrO3 target. Crystalline CSZ phase was formed in the film grown even at room temperature (RT). For the film grown at 300°C, a dielectric constant (k) of value 27.6 and a low tan δof 0.005 were obtained at 100 kHz, and a similar k value of 26.7 with a high Q-value of 646 was obtained at 2.0 GHz. This film also showed a large capacitance density (264 nF/cm2), a small TCC (75 ppm/°C at 100 kHz), a low leakage current (1.44×10-8 A/cm2 at 1.5 MV/cm), and a large breakdown field strength (2.25 MV/cm). Moreover, a 600 nm-thick CSZ film grown on polyimide substrate at RT satisfied all the ITRS 2016 requirements for a capacitor on an organic substrate. Therefore, the CSZ film, grown at a temperature ≤300°C, is a good candidate for use in embedded capacitors in printed circuit boards.
