Preparation of Conductive SrMoO3 Thin Films and Their Application to Electrodes for Thin Film Capacitors

Abstract
Perovskite SrMoO3 thin films are prepared by RF magnetron sputtering at substrate temperatures above 600°C. They show metallic conduction, and their resistivity at 300 K is (1.5∼1.8)×10-4Ω·cm. The tri-layered capacitor fabricated from SrMoO3 (base electrode) –SrTiO3 (dielectric layer)–Cu (counter electrode) has a capacitance of about 0.8 µF/cm2 at 1 kHz and 30°C, where the thickness of the SrTiO3 layer is 700Å.
