- Abstract
- High-performance metal-insulator-metal (MIM) devices on flexible polymer substrates without any defects (such as cracks, delamination, and blistering) and on glass substrate were successfully fabricated. This paper examines the mechanical properties of the polymer substrates and the electrical characteristics of MIM tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) films. High-quality Ta2O5 thin films were obtained by using an anodizing method. Also; using newly developed methods, including a stepped beating process for polymer substrates, we obtained high-performances MIM devices on polymer substrates. Here, we propose a gas barrier layer of polymer substrates in order to enhance the ductility of the Ta electrode and to prevent blistering problems. Electrical measurements were also carried out for as-deposited and thermally treated MIM devices, including Ta/Ta2O5/Ti structures. The MIM devices fabricated on polymer substrates and on glass substrates exhibited similar leakage current characteristics (below 10(-6) A/cm(2) at 1 MV/cm) and reasonable breakdown voltages (4similar to7 MV/cm) with a uniformity of 93 %. The current-voltage (I-V) behaviors and the conduction mechanisms of the MIM devices on both polymer and glass substrate are discussed based on the results of electrical measurements and structural investigations and on the conduction mechanism for the leakage current.
