Abstract:
Radio frequency sputtering was used to deposit quartz films for use as the dielectric in thin film capacitors. Experiments are described in which the performance of the capacitors was assessed. Capacitances up to 250 microfaradssq m were achieved with reasonably low loss tan delta approximately 0.005 at frequencies below 1 MHz. Above 1 MHz loss increased linearly with frequency. Temperature coefficients of capacitance approximately 120 ppmC were measured, and the humidity sensitivity of the devices investigated briefly. Loss mechanisms and dielectric defects are discussed, and future lines of investigation towards improvement are suggested. Author
