Dielectric properties of iron doped barium strontium titanate thin film based capacitor

In this research work, a new capacitor stack aluminium/iron doped barium strontium titanate/nickel iron/copper (Al/BSTF/NiFe/Cu) has been designed and fabricated with aluminium (Al) as top electrode, iron doped barium strontium titanate (Ba 1-x Sr x Ti 1-y Fe y O3) as dielectric material and nickel-...
