Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy results show that the films are stoichiometric, amorphous, and smooth. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that SmScO3 starts to crystallize at 900 degrees C. Capacitance and leakage current measurements reveal C-V curves with negligible hysteresis, a dielectric constant around 29 for 6 nm thick films, low leakage current densities in the range of 10(-7) A/cm(2), an effective oxide charge density of similar to 5x10(11) cm(-2), and an interface trap density of 4.5x10(11) (eV cm(2))(-1).
