Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, it is reported that the polarity of ZnO and AlN piezoelectric thin film fabricated by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method can be switched by changing the growth condition, and polarity-inverted structure has been obtained. In this research, we have developed the quantitative measurement method for the thickness of a polarity inverted layer using canning nonlinear dielectric microscopy (SNDM). We derive an equation that represents the relationship between the output signal and the oscillation frequency of the SNDM probe, and developed the measurement procedure that can determine the thickness of polarity-inverted single layer structure. We applied it to two-dimensional distribution measurements of the layer thickness. Moreover, we investigated the measurement for double layered structure. We showed that it is possible to determine the thickness of two layers by controlling depth profile of electric field inside the measurement materials using a soft probe tip.
