Abstract

Multilayer films formed from Al2O3 and TiO2 by atomic layer deposition were systematically studied. The relationship between the electrical characteristics of the films and the type of oxidizer used for the Al2O3 layers was investigated. The results indicated that oxygen defects in TiO2 layer and a highly insulating Al2O3 layer are necessary for realizing a giant dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss. A high electrical resistance of 1.7×108 Ω / diameter of 1 mm and a dielectric constant of 1140 were achieved at 100 Hz by suitable choice of oxidizer for the Al2O3 layer.
