  • Next, the applied PZT sol-gel solution is heated and held on a hot plate at 250° C. for 30 seconds to thereby be dried, and moisture is removed, and after that, is additionally heated and held for 60 seconds on a hot plate maintained at a high temperature of 500° C. to thereby perform temporary calcination. A PZT amorphous film having a thickness of 150 nm is produced by repeating this for several times.
  • Subsequently, an annealing treatment is performed on the PZT amorphous film at 700° C. by using a pressurizing-type lamp annealing device (RTA: rapidly thermal anneal) to thereby carry out PZT crystallization. The PZT film thus crystallized is formed of a perovskite structure (refer to, for example, Patent Literature 1).
  • In the above-described conventional technology, since a Pt film is used as an electrode, there is a problem of becoming costly, and thus an electrode with cost lower than that of a Pt film is required.

    •  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Hereinafter, embodiments and Examples of the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings. However, a person skilled in the art would be able to easily understand that the present invention is not limited to the following explanations but forms and details thereof may be variously modified without deviating from the purport and the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be construed as being limited to the description of the embodiments and Examples, shown below.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view explaining a manufacturing method of ferroelectric ceramics according to one aspect of the present invention.
  • A substrate (not shown) is prepared. Various kinds of substrates can be used as the substrate, and there can be used, for example, substrates of a single crystal such as a Si single crystal or a sapphire single crystal, substrates of a single crystal with a metal oxide film formed on the surface thereof, substrates with a polysilicon film or a silicide film formed on the surface thereof, and the like. Note that, in the present embodiment, a Si substrate oriented in (100) is used.
  • Next, a ZrO2 film (not shown) is formed on the Si substrate at a temperature of 550° C. or less (preferably at 500° C.) by an evaporation method. The ZrO2 film is oriented in (200) .
  • After that, a Pt film 103 by epitaxial growth is formed on the ZrO2 film at a temperature of 550° C. or less (preferably at 400° C.) by sputtering. The Pt film 103 is oriented in (200) . Note that the Pt film 103 can be functioned as an electrode film. Furthermore, the Pt film 103 may be an electrode film other than a Pt film. The electrode film may be an electrode film formed of, for example, an oxide or metal, or may be an Ir film.
  • By setting the substrate temperature to be 550° C. or less when forming the ZrO2 film and the Pt film 103 and controlling the growth rate and thermal stress of the film to be low, as described above, it is possible to orient the Pt film in (200) even when forming the Pt film 103 directly on a ZrO2 film without the mixing of Y2O3.
  • Next, a first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111 is formed on the Pt film 103 by sputtering. Note that the x satisfies a formula 1 below. Furthermore, a sintered body of a Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 is used as a sputtering target at this time. However, the x satisfies the formula 1 below.

  • 0.01≤x≤0.4 (preferably 0.05≤x≤0.2)   formula 1
  • Note that the reason why the x in the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111 is 0.4 or less is because, when the x is set to exceed 0.4, the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film becomes powdery and cannot sufficiently be solidified.
  • After that, the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111 is crystallized by RTA (Rapid Thermal Anneal) in a pressurized oxygen atmosphere.
  • The first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111 is a film of a complex oxide of strontium, titanium and ruthenium, the complex oxide being a compound having a perovskite structure.
  • Next, a PZT amorphous film that is short of lead, or a PZT amorphous film of a stoichiometric composition is formed on the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111, and by subjecting the PZT amorphous film to a heat treatment in a pressurized oxygen atmosphere, a PZT film 112 obtained by crystallizing the PZT amorphous film is formed on the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111. Note that the amount of lead in the PZT amorphous film that is short of lead is preferably 80 atom % or more to 95 atom % or less, when the amount of lead of a PZT amorphous film in the case of a stoichiometric composition is defined as 100 atom %.
  • Subsequently, a second Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 113 is formed on the PZT film 112 by sputtering. Note that the x satisfies the formula 3 below. Furthermore, the conditions of sputtering film formation at this time are the same as those for the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111.

  • 0.01≤x≤0.4 (preferably 0.05≤x≤0.2)   formula 3
  • After that, the second Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 113 is crystallized by RTA in a pressurized oxygen atmosphere. The conditions of TRA at this time are the same as those for the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111.
  • Then, a prescribed pattern of the PZT film 112 is formed by processing of the PZT film 112 by wet etching. When the PZT film 112 is wet-etched in this way, unnecessary parts of the PZT film 112 can be removed with good peeling properties . This is because second Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 films 111 and 113 are sandwiched on the upper and lower sides of the PZT film 112.
  • Note that, in the present embodiment, the PZT film 112 is formed on the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111, but the bodiment is not limited to this. It is also possible to form another ferroelectric film on the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111.
  • The ferroelectric film is a film having a perovskite or bismuth layered-structure oxide represented by ABO3 or (Bi2O2)2+(Am−1BmO3m+1)2− (in the formulae, A is at least one type selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb, Pb, Ca, Sr, Ba, Bi, La and Hf, B is at least one type selected from the group consisting of Ru, Fe, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta, V, W and Mo, and m is a natural number of 5 or less).
  • According to the present embodiment, since the PZT film 112 as a piezoelectric film is formed between the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111 and the second Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 113, a piezoelectric film having excellent piezoelectric properties can be obtained.
  • Note that, in the present embodiment, a ZrO2 film is formed on a Si substrate, the Pt film 103 is formed on the ZrO2 film, and the Pt film 103 is made to function as an electrode film, but, as shown in FIG. 8, without the formation of the Pt film 103, the ZrO2 film 102 oriented in (200) is formed on the Si substrate 101 oriented in (100), the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111 oriented in (100) is formed on the ZrO2 film 102, a PZT film is formed on the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111, and the second Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film is formed on the PZT film, with the result that the first Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 film 111 can be made to function as an electrode film.
  • Furthermore, a sputtering target when forming each of the first and second Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3 films 111 and 113 is a sintered body of Sr(Ti1−xRux)O3.

  • Hereinafter, a production method of samples 1 and 2 in the Example will be explained.
  • A ZrO2 film oriented in (200) was formed on a Si wafer having a (100) crystal plane by a reactive evaporation method, and a Pt film oriented in (200) was formed on the ZrO2 film by sputtering. Processes up to this process are common to samples 1 and 2.
  • Next, a first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film was formed on the Pt film of the sample 1 by sputtering. Furthermore, a first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3 film was formed on the Pt film of the sample 2 by sputtering. Conditions of the sputtering at this time are as shown in Table 1.

  • Subsequently, the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film of the sample 1 and the first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3 of the sample 2 were crystallized by RTA in a pressurized oxygen atmosphere. Conditions of the RTA at this time were as follows.

  • As a sol-gel solution for forming the PZT film, there was used an El solution having a concentration of 10% by weight, which contains butanol as a solvent and which is obtained by adding lead in an amount of stoichiometric composition without short of lead.
  • An alkaline alcohol having an amino group, referred to as dimethylamino ethanol, was added to the sol-gel solution at a ratio of El sol-gel solution: dimethylamino ethanol=7:3 in a volume ratio, which exhibited strong alkalinity of pH=12.
  • A PZT amorphous film was formed using the above-described solution by spin coating. MS-A200 manufactured by MIKASA CO., LTD. was used as a spin coater. First, the coater was rotated at 800 rpm for 5 seconds and at 1500 rpm for 10 seconds, then the rotational speed was raised gradually to 3000 rpm in 10 seconds, which was left on a hot plate (AHS-300, a ceramic hot plate manufactured by AS ONE Corporation) at 150° C. for 5 minutes in the air, after that, was left on a hot plate (AHS-300) at 300° C. for 10 minutes also in the air, and subsequently, was cooled to room temperature. The process was repeated plural times to thereby form a PZT amorphous film having an intended thickness of 773 nm on each of the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film of the sample 1 and the first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3 film of the sample 2. The product was formed in plural number.
  • Next, a heat treatment was performed on the above-described PZT amorphous film in a pressurized oxygen atmosphere to thereby form a PZT film obtained by crystallizing the PZT amorphous film, on each of the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film of the sample 1 and the first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3 film of the sample 2.
  • After that, the second Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film was formed by sputtering on the crystallized PZT film of the sample, in the same way as that for the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film. Furthermore, the second Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3 film was formed by sputtering on the crystallized PZT film of the sample 2, in the same way as that for the first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3 film. Subsequently, the second Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film and the second Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3 film were crystallized by RTA in a pressurized oxygen atmosphere. Conditions of the RTA at this time were the same as those for the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film.
  • The sample 1 produced in this way was second Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3/PZT/first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3/Pt/ZrO2/Si wafer, and the sample 2 was second Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3/PZT/first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05)O3/Pt/ZrO2/Si wafer.
  • Hysteresis properties of the PZT film of the sample 2 were evaluated (refer to FIG. 2). It was confirmed that the PZT film formed between the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film and the second Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film gave a largely spaced hysteresis curve and had excellent piezoelectric properties .

  • Measurements results of sheet resistance value of each of the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film and the first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05) film having a thickness of 300 nm of samples 1 and 2 of the Example in five points by a four-terminal method are shown in Table 2. From Table 2, it was confirmed that the sheet resistance of each of the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film and the first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05) film was sufficiently low. In other words, it was confirmed that each of the first Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film and the first Sr(Ti0.95Ru0.05) film had low resistance to the extent that each of the film was able to function as an electrode.

  • The sample 1 was produced in the same way as the sample 1 in Example 1, except for replacing each of the first and second Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 films (STRO) of the sample 1 in Example 1 with first and second SrTiO3 films (STO). Sputtering film formation conditions and RTA conditions after the film formation for each of the first and second SrTiO3 films are as follows.
  • [Sputtering Film Formation Conditions]

  • Hysteresis properties of PZT films of the above-described samples 1 and 2 were evaluated (refer to FIG. 4) . It is found that the PZT film of the sample 1 using STO has a hysteresis curve that is less likely to be spaced, whereas the PZT film of the sample 2 using SRO has a hysteresis curve that is easily spaced. Note that the PZT film of the sample 1 using STO has properties of small piezoelectricity and a large breakdown voltage (or a small leak current) . In addition, the PZT film of the sample 2 using SRO has properties of large piezoelectricity and a small breakdown voltage (or a large leak current).
  • From the XRD chart shown in FIG. 5, the crystallinity of each of the SrTiO3 film of the sample 1 and SrRuO3 film of the sample 2 was confirmed.
  • From the XRD chart shown in FIG. 6, it was confirmed that the (004) peak intensity of the PZT film of the sample 2 using SRO was weak, whereas the (004) peak intensity of the PZT film of the sample 1 using STO was strong. Furthermore, since the difference between 2θ of the (400) peak and the 2θ of the (004) peak is the amount of polarization, it was confirmed that the amount of polarization of the sample 2 using SRO was small, whereas the amount of polarization of the sample 1 using STO was large.
  • It is found that, in the Example, excellent properties of samples 1 and 2 in Comparative Example 1 can be obtained. Specifically, in the Example, it is possible to space largely the hysteresis curve of the PZT film (refer to FIG. 2), and to intensify the (004) peak intensity of the PZT film (refer to FIG. 4A). The PZT film according to the Example has properties of large piezoelectricity, a large breakdown voltage and being easily c-axis oriented. Accordingly, excellent piezoelectric properties can be obtained.

  • <Wet Etching Conditions>
  • 10 w %-HC1+0.1 w %-HF aqueous solution
  • wet-etching of PZT capacitor obtained by coating resist having a thickness of 1 gm
  • Use amount of etchant of 50 ml, 35° C.
  • Approximately 100 seconds at 700 rpm of ACT-300AII
  • SEM observation and evaluation after washing with water
  • As shown in FIG. 7B, when the Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film (STRO) is not sandwiched on and under a PZT film, the PZT film remains at the interface with the Pt film even when wet-etching is performed. In contrast to this, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film (STRO) is sandwiched on and under a PZT film, the PZT film is peeled off completely by wet etching without remaining at the interface. From this, it can be expected that the PZT film obtained by sandwiching the Sr(Ti0.8Ru0.2)O3 film (STRO) on and under the PZT film has excellent properties of the interface as a capacitor.
