Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) ScAlN thin films with large electromechanical coupling coefficient have been attracting attention for the application to wideband BAW filters. Sc ingots usually contain oxygen and carbon impurities. Therefore, this result in the O- and CN- negative ions irradiation to the substrate during the sputtering process. These negative ions irradiation would affect the crystal orientation and electromechanical coupling coefficient, kt2 of the piezoelectric thin films. In this study, the negative ions generated from various ScAl sputtering targets were measured. Crystal orientation and kt2 of ScAlN thin films were investigated. We showed that the difference in the intensity of the negative ions generated from each target affects crystal orientation and kt2.
