The performance of microwave devices containing electrically tunable layers of strontium titanate has been evaluated for samples produced by pulsed laser ablation over a range of deposition temperatures on [001] LaAlO/sub 3/ substrate. At zero bias the samples which exhibited the highest agility also exhibited the highest loss. It has been observed that the SrTiO/sub 3/ lattice parameter is the relevant parameter in determining both the frequency agility of the sample and its dielectric loss. Furthermore, it was seen that whilst the SrTiO/sub 3/ lattice parameter is dependent on deposition temperature, it has a maximum, and that samples grown at higher/lower temperatures around this maximum exhibit similar electrical properties for similar lattice parameter. A sample was then processed by a high temperature annealing of the SrTiO/sub 3/ layer prior to YBCO deposition and it was found that dielectric loss is reduced over the whole range of agility without deterioration of the frequency agility.
