Abstract

Ti-Si-O films were sputter deposited from TiO2+SiO2 composite targets with various SiO2 content. The phase separation occurred for every SiO2 content used in this experiment (from 14% to 75%) and it has been revealed that nanocrystalline (TiO2)1-x(SiO2)x films in which anatase TiO2 forms tiny grains were obtained when x in the film is larger than 0.26. The tiny grain was effective for suppressing the thermal grooving phenomenon of the thin films by the post deposition annealing which leads to the leakage current increase. The dielectric constant of the nanocrystalline film was varied with the SiO2 content from the value of the bulk anatase to SiO2.
