Formation of YCrO3 Thin Films using Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering Method for a Wide Range Thermistor Application

概要

論文の詳細を見る
YCrO3 thin films were prepared on thermally oxidized silicon wafers by a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method. Microstructure and crystallinity of thin films, deposited and then postannealed at various temperatures (between 600°C/1 h and 800°C/1 h), were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. An amorphous phase was observed in an as-deposited sample. A mixture of an amorphous phase and a crystalline phase was observed in the sample annealed at 600°C/1 h, and completely crystallized YCrO3 thin films were observed in samples annealed at above 700°C/1 h. YCrO3 thin films showed a linear characteristic in the $\log \sigma T$ vs $1/T$ plot in the temperature range between 300°C and 800°C.
