Ion Substitution

ABSTRACTRare-earth-substituted tetragonal lead zirconate titanate thin films were synthesized for improving the ferroelectric property of conventional lead zirconate titanate. Thin films of Pb1.00REx (Zr0.40Ti0.60)1-(3x /4)O3 (x = 0.02, RE = Y, Dy, Er and Yb) were deposited on (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2/(100)Si substrates by a chemical solution deposition (CSD). B-site substitution using rare-earth cations described above enhanced the crystal anisotropy, i.e., ratio of PZT lattice parameters c/a. Remanent polarization (Pr) of PZT film was enhanced by Y3+-, Dy3+- and Er3+-substitution from 20 μC/cm2 up to 26, 25 and 26 μC/cm2 respectively, while ion substitution using Yb3+ degraded the Pr value down to 16 μC/cm2. These films had similar coercive fields (Ec) of around 100 kV/cm. Improving the ferroelectric property of PZT film by rare-earth-substitution would be ascribed to the enhancement of the crystal anisotropy. We concluded that ion substitution using some rare-earth cations, such as Y3+, Dy3+ or Er3+, is one of promising technique for improving the ferroelectric property of PZT film.

Zirconate Titanate

Ferroelectric thin films have recently proven viable for nonvolatile memory applications in semiconductor technology. Current research is focused on the development of processing technologies and deposition on metallized semiconductor substrates. In this study, niobium-doped lead zirconate titanate thin films were prepared by a dc magnetron-sputtering technique using a multielement metal target. Films were deposited on indium tin oxide coated glass and on metallizations on silicon substrates. The crystallographic structure and surface morphology of the films was examined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction as a function of processing variables such as sputtering pressure, film thickness, and niobium content. Electrical characterization of the films is discussed in terms of ferroelectric hysteresis and polarization properties. Improved ferroelectric properties are achieved through a densified structure resulting from niobium-doping.

ABSTRACTStudies on strontium-doped lead zirconate titanate (PSZT) have been reported for its high piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. For PSZT to exhibit pronounced piezoelectric behaviour it must have a crystalline grain structure (perovskite orientation). This paper is a study of the deposition of PSZT thin films by RF magnetron sputtering and the effect of cooling rate, after deposition at temperatures between 500 °C and 700 °C. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) results are used to show how a cooling rate of 5 °C/min increases the degree of perovskite orientation in sputtered films, when compared to a cooling rate of 15 °C/min. The absence of significant shifts in the positions of diffraction peak patterns in XRD results are used to demonstrate low stress in the deposited films. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) imaging is used to show the crystalline nature of the PSZT thin films.

Zirconate Titanate

Mixed composition layered lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films sZr/Ti ratio = 30/70 + 65/35d with stoichiometric lead containing PZT thin layer at the film/electrode interface were successfully fabricated by a modified chemical solution deposition method. These modified PZT thin films are highly (111) textured, and have square-shaped P-E hysteresis loops with large remanent polarization and low coercive field, as well as low saturation voltage. In addition, these films show good fatigue and imprint behavior with Pt electrodes; the retained polarization of the modified film was above 50% after fatigue testing to 109 cycles, and the thermally induced voltage shifts (ΔV) were 0.51 V after heating at 150 °C for 4410 s, two times lower than for films without a stoichiometric thin layer.
