Abstract

The mist plasma evaporation technique was developed to deposit SrTiO 3 thin films under atmospheric pressure using an aqueous solution of strontium nitrate and titanium nitrate as the precursor. This technique is characterized by the injection of liquid reactants into thermal plasma where droplets of the precursor solution are partially or totally evaporated, decomposed, and ionized to their elements. The films deposited by mist plasma evaporation were cubic perovskite SrTiO 3, and showed paraelectric properties at room temperature. The morphology of the SrTiO 3 thin films was affected by substrate and substrate temperature. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the SrTiO 3 film at 100 kHz were 58 and 0.239, respectively.
