Popis: It is well known [i] that the electric strength Est r of thin-film MIS capacitors is affected to a considerable degree by the material of the electrodes. The present paper studies the characteristics of thin-film capacitors (TFC) based on tantalum pentoxide with electrodes of aluminum, copper, gold, and silver. A Ta205 film was obtained in a low-voltage Penning discharge [2]. Once the dielectric film was obtained an operation of healing its defects by means of electrolytic anodizing [3] was conducted. An aluminum film deposited by thermal evaporation served as the bottom electrode. The thickness of the Ta20s in all experiments was 2000Awhereasthe thickness of the upper electrode was 1500-2000 ~. In order to eliminate the influence of the scatter of Est r from substrate to substrate because of fluctuations in the quality of the dielectric and substrate, the same quantity of(TFC) with an upper electrode of A1 and one of the metals studied (e.g., A1 and Au, A1 and Cu, etc.) was deposited on each substrate.
