Abstract
Further technological advances in ferroelectric thin film-based devices requires to achieve a better understanding of the growth of ferroelectric and electrode layers, including oxygen incorporation during growth and other parameters. This can be achieved using in situ, real-time characterization techniques. We are currently using time-of-fligh ion scattering and recoil spectroscopy (TOF-ISARS) to study film growth processes. Results discussed in this review concerns initial studies of the growth of SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) films. As an example, the potential of TOF-ISARS has been demonstrated by determining that the layered SBT films are terminated in an incomplete (Bi2O2)2+ layer with an oxygen plane as the top most layer. This results and the implications for understanding the resistant to fatigue of Pt/SBT/Pt capacitors are discussed in this review.
