Abstract
High-performance metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors using novel Pb(Mg0.33Nb0.67)0.65Ti0.35O3 (PMNT) thin films were fabricated and investigated. The dielectric properties of the PMNT capacitors were characterized at both dc and radio frequencies. A significant high-κ of 1115 (high capacitance density of 26 fF/μm2) for a PMNT MIM capacitor has been achieved. In addition, small leakage current density of 2 × 10-10 A/cm2 and low loss tangent of 0.0188 are also obtained. The results indicate that high-κ PMNT is a promising candidate material for high-performance MIM capacitors.
