Abstract
La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates using a radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique under various Ar : O2 flow rates at a substrate temperature of 450 °C. X-ray diffraction results showed that the growth orientation and crystallinity of film were affected by Ar : O2 ratio. Using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and near edge x-ray absorption fine structure, the chemical state of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 film was revealed to have reduced oxygen deficiencies with increasing O 2 flow during deposition. The valence band maximum was also shifted to the Fermi edge, and resistive switching properties were decreased with reduced oxygen vacancies from increased oxygen flow rate.
