Abstract

Ferroelectric (Na,K)NbO3 (NKN) thin films have been synthesized using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique for the first time. The films were deposited on various substrates in a horizontal hot-wall reactor using tetramethyl-heptanedionate (THD) precursors. Epitaxial films have been prepared on SrTiO3 (001) substrates, while nearly perfect [001]-axis oriented polycrystalline thin films have been deposited on SiO 2/Si, SiNx/Si, and sapphire substrates. Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA) analysis indicated that Na, K, Nb, and O are the primary elements present in the film. Dielectric spectroscopy for NKN films on SiO2/Si substrates showed dielectric permittivity ε′ about 140 and loss tan δ less than 2 % in the frequency range from 1 kHz to 120 kHz.
