Ferroelectric Thin Films for Tunable Microwave Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern wireless communication systems are based on microwave technologies. Ferroelectric devices with the electric field dependent dielectric properties and low dielectric losses at microwave frequencies are very promising. Capacitance tunability nc, defined as the ratio of the capacitance at zero applied bias voltage to the capacitance at some desired applied voltage, is the key functional property of ferroelectric materials. In order to avoid losses arising from the domain wall motion, these materials are mainly used in their paraelectric phase. [1]

Ferroelectric BaTiO3/SrTiO3 with optimized c-axis-oriented multilayered thin films were epitaxially fabricated on (001) MgO substrates. The microstructural studies indicate that the in-plane interface relationships between the films as well as the substrate are determined to be (001)SrTiO3//(001)BaTiO3//(001)MgO and [100]SrTiO3//[100]BaTiO3//[100]MgO.

The main focus of this thesis is the study of a novel microwave component, the tunable thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator (TFBAR), based on ferroelectric BaxSr1−xTiO3 thin films. Conventional fixed frequency TFBARs, widely used for filtering applications in wireless communication systems, are based on ordinary piezoelectrics. The tunable TFBAR on the other hand utilizes the dc field induced...
