Thin films of dielectric STO have been prepared on Si-wafers by means of the conventional rf-magnetron sputtering technique. The dielectric and electric conduction properties of the films have been studied. The results showed that lower leakage current and the capacitance-voltage behavior of MIS structures indicated dielectric permittivity in the accumulation region and also a good STO/Si interface. The films exhibited a dielectric constant of 300, leakage current of 4×105 A/cm2 at a bias of 5 V and a charge storage density of about 2.5 μC/μm2. The resistivity of films deposited on silicon substrates was very high. SEM analyses showed that STO films have a uniform and fine grain structure
