Abstract

The structure of barium strontium titanate (BST) films grown by chemical solution deposition on polycor substrates was studied by transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution microscopy, and x-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that a grain structure inhomogeneous in cross section is formed after two-step crystallization at T = 700 and 950°C. There are equiaxed grains (44.2 nm in average size) in the BST-polycor interfacial region and a multilevel columnar structure (grain height up to 150 nm) with {100} texture in the film bulk. Grain growth inhibition during high-temperature annealing and underlayer formation in the interfacial region are caused by a change in the substrate structure, i.e., grain reorientation and {112} texture formation.
