Conduction mechanism of SrTiO{sub 3} thin films have been demonstrated. The SrTiO{sub 3} films were prepared on Pt/SiO{sub 2}/Si-wafer by means of a conventional RF-magnetron sputtering technique. Electrical properties of SrTiO{sub 3} films were measured with Pt/SrTiO{sub 3}/Pt structure. Leakage current characteristics were examined on as-deposited and annealed films. Leakage current conduction mechanism in a low electric field was different from that in a high electric field. In the low electric field, it was suggested that leakage current was caused by electrical traps at and/or near the interface between a top electrode and the SrTiO{sub 3} film. In the high electric field, leakage current conduction mechanism was interpreted in terms of Pool-Frenkel conduction due to oxygen vacancies.
