Monolithic integration of thin film uncooled IR detectors requires processes compatible with Si devices and thermal isolation strategies. A metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process has been developed to address these needs that uses P-diketonate and mixed P-diketonatealkoxide precursors in a liquid delivery approach. Process space has been explored, and high quality tetragonal thin Pb(Zr,Ti)O, (PZT) films with nominal Zr/Ti ratios of 20/80 were deposited on Si wafers with Pt electrodes at temperatures between 475 and 550°C. Following a post deposition anneal at 650"C, permittivities (E) ranging from 450 to 635 have been observed, along with pyroelectric coefficients (p) from 10 to 25 nC/cm'K. Dielectric loss (tan 6 ) was approximately 0.015 to 0.025. These values translate to good voltage and signal-to-noise figures of merit (PICE and P/C(E tan 6)"2, respectively) for thin film devices, where c = heat capacity per unit volume.Low thermal budget processing at T I 500°C also produced a similar combination of properties which suggest that this process can be used as a back-end fabrication step after the read-out integrated circuits (ROIC's) are fully functioning on a Si wafer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
