Thin films from transition metal oxides have become of increasing interest for various applications, especially in high-k and resistive switching devices. In this work, we studied the influence of processing on the structural, morphological and electrical properties of ZrO2 and combination of ZrO2/TiO2 in the form of laminates and bilayers. The films were deposited from Zr(NEtMe)4 (TEMAZ) and Ti(OiPr)4 (TTIP) by atomic layer deposition using ozone or water as the oxygen sources. Deposition temperatures were 200°C, 240°C, and 280°C. The films were characterized with x-ray diffraction, x-ray reflectometry, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electrical measurements. Differences in structure and electrical properties were found depending on type of oxygen source. Ozone grown ZrO2 films showed an(111) oriented cubic structure, whereas the ones deposited with water were polycrystalline with a cubic/tetragonal mixed phase in thicker films. Resistive switching of metal-insulator-metal structures was scrutinized. Structures like Pt/ZrO2/Ti/Pt, Pt/ZrO/TiO2/Ti/Pt, and Pt/TiO2/ZrO2/Ti/Pt showed different kinds of resistive switching behavior.
