Popis: The structure and dielectric properties of SrTiO3 thin films with either 5% Ca or Zr substitutions have been investigated. Thin films of these materials were deposited onto (100) LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at temperatures of 750°C in 350 m Torr of oxygen. As-deposited films, characterized by x-ray diffraction, were single phase and well oriented with ω - scan widths of < 0.2° for the (002) reflection. The capacitance and dissipation factor were measured at 1 MHz to 1 GHz for the deposited films as a function of temperature and electric field (80 kV/cm) using Ag interdigital capacitors deposited on top of the SrTiO3 films. For unsubstituted SrTiO3, a peak in the capacitance vs. temperature curve was observed at ∼60K. The temperature dependence of the dissipation factor was similar and also exhibited a maximum at 60K with a value of 0.025. A 50% change in the capacitance can be achieved for the SrTiO3 film at ∼80 kV/cm. Substitution of 5% Ca on the Sr site does not change th...
