(Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3antiferroelectric thick films were prepared on Pt (111)/ Ti/SiO2/Si (100) substrates by a sol-gel process. The effects of single annealing and multistep annealing on the structures and electric properties of the films were investigated. The crystal orientation and structure of the antiferroelectric thick films were studied. The thick films by multistep annealing have higher (100)-preferred orientation than them by single annealing. The surface of the films was more smooth, compact and uniform by single annealing. The antiferroelectric nature of the (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3antiferroelectric thick films by various sintering procedures was demonstrated by P(polarization)-E(electric field) and C(capactitance)-E(electric field). The temperature dependent of the dielectric constant and loss was measured under the frequency 1, 10, and 100 kHz and comparing with traditional signal annealing, the films have phase transition from antiferroelectric state to paraelectric state by multistep annealing.

Pb0.97La0.02(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 antiferroelectric thick films were prepared on platinized silicon substrates by sol–gel methods. Films showed polycrystalline perovskite structure with a strong (100) preferred orientation. The antiferroelectric nature of the films was confirmed by the double hysteresis behaviors versus applied field. The temperature dependence of dielectric constant and loss displayed the Curie temperature was 225oC.The current caused by the polarization and depolarization of polar was detected at coupling application of electric field and temperature. The phase transition characterization could be effectively adjusted by electric field and temperature.

Micro-electromechanical systems comprising antiferroelectric layers can offer both actuation and transduction to integrated technologies. Micro-cantilevers based on the (Pb0.97La0.02)(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 (PLZT) antiferroelectric thick film are fabricated by the micro-nano manufacturing process, to utilize the effect of phase transition induced strain and sharp phase switch of antiferroelectric materials. When micro-cantilevers made of antiferroelectric thick films were driven by sweep voltages, there were two resonant peaks corresponding to the natural frequency shift from 27.8 to 27.0 kHz, before and after phase transition. This is the compensation principle for the PLZT micro-cantilever to tune the natural frequency by the amplitude modulation of driving voltage, rather than of frequency modulation. Considering the natural frequency shift about 0.8 kHz and the frequency tuning ability about 156 Hz/V before the phase transition, this can compensate the frequency shift caused by increasing temperature by tuning only the amplitude of driving voltage, when the ultrasonic micro-transducer made of antiferroelectric thick films works for such a long period. Therefore, antiferroelectric thick films with hetero-structures incorporated into PLZT micro-cantilevers not only require a lower driving voltage (no more than 40 V) than rival bulk piezoelectric ceramics, but also exhibit better performance of frequency invariability, based on the amplitude modulation.
