We studied several properties of thin amorphous and polycrystalline SrHfO3 layers on TiN in the context of memory capacitor applications. Amorphous SrHfO3 has the dielectric constant kappa=21 and is transformed upon rapid thermal annealing into polycrystalline SrHfO3 with kappa=35. We discuss the influence of the annealing treatment on leakage currents, and briefly discuss, on the basis of ab initio calculations, the possible role of vacancylike defects and Ti contamination.
