Abstract

Bi5Nb3O15 (B5N3 films grown under a low oxygen partial pressure (OP) of 1.7 mtorr showed a high leakage current density of 0.1 A/cm2 at 1.0 MV/cm. However, the leakage current density decreased with increasing OP to a minimum of 5.8 × 109 A/cm2 for the film grown under 5.1 mtorr due to the decreased number of oxygen vacancies. This film also showed an improved breakdown field of 2.2 MV/cm and a large capacitance density of 24.9 fF/μm2. The electrical properties of the film, however, deteriorated with a further increase in OP, which is probably due to the formation of oxygen interstitial ions. Therefore, superior electrical properties for the B5 N3 film can be obtained by careful control of OP.
