AbstractCr, Mn, Co, Ni and Cu of 5 at % s added BiFeO3 films were fabricated by chemical solution deposition on 111-textured Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates. Only the diffraction peaks attributed to BiFeO3 structure could obtain except the Ni and Cr additions. The BiFeO3 films became almost amorphous by adding Ni, and non ferroelectric Bi7CrO12.5 phase was formed by adding Cr. AFM images indicated the surface morphology of the films was drastically changed by the additives. The leakage current was reduced by adding Mn, Cu and Co, although the electric coercive field increased in the case of Co addition. Therefore, it could be concluded that Mn and Cu additives improved not only the leakage current properties but also the ferroelectric properties in the course of CSD process. It should be noted that this is the first report showing the improvement of ferroelectricity of BiFeO3 films by adding Cu.

Epitaxial PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3 (PZT) thin films were grown on top of a SrRuO3 epitaxial electrode layer on a (100) SrTiO3 substrate by the chemical solution deposition method at various temperatures. The microstructure of the PZT thin films was investigated by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and the ferroelectric properties were measured using the Ag/PZT/SRO capacitor structure. In the PZT thin film annealed at low temperature (450 °C/1h), both the perovskite PZT phase at the film/substrate interface and the fluorite PZT phase in the upper region of the film were obtained. It exhibited nonferroelectric properties. The PZT thin film annealed at temperature as low as 525 °C had only a perovskite tetragonal phase and the epitaxial orientational relationship of (001)[010]PZT∥(001)[010]SRO∥(001)[010]STOwith the substrate, and shows a ferroelectric property. The remnant (Pr) and saturation polarization (Ps) density of the sample annealed at 600 °C/1h were measured to be Pr ˜ 51.4 μC/cm2 and Ps ˜ 62.1 μC/cm2 at 5 V, respectively. The net switched polarization dropped only to 98% of its initial value after 7 × 108 fatigue cycles.

In the present work, polycrystalline Bi0.67La0.33Fe0.5Sc0.5O3 thin films were synthesized using a simple and cost-effective chemical solution deposition process employing the spin coating technique. In order to check the feasibility of the fabrication of thin films on various types of substrates, the films were deposited on Pt-coated silicon, silicon, sapphire, corundum, fused silica and glass. Based on the results of thermogravimetric analysis of precursor and thermal stability study, it was determined that the optimal annealing temperature for the formation of perovskite structure is 600 °C. It was observed that the relative intensity of the pseudocubic peaks (001)p and (011)p in the XRD patterns is influenced by the nature of substrates, suggesting that the formed crystallites have some preferred orientation. Roughness of the films was determined to be dependent on the nature of the substrate.

Ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films on Pt/ZrO2/SiO2/Si were successfully prepared by using an alkanolamine-modified chemical solution deposition method. It was observed that alkanolamine provided stability to the SBT solution by retarding the hydrolysis and condensation rates. The crystallinity and the microstructure of the SBT thin films improved with increasing annealing temperature and were strongly correlated with the ferroelectric properties of the SBT thin films. The films annealed at 800 °C exhibited low leakage current density, low voltage saturation, high remanent polarization, and good fatigue characteristics at least up to 1010 switching cycles, indicating favorable behavior for memory applications.

AbstractBismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12; BIT) -based ferroelectric materials are proposed from the view of the “Site-engineering”, where the Bi-site ions are substituted by lanthanoid ions (La3+ and Nd3+) and Ti-site ions by other ions with higher charge valence (V5+). In the present study, influences of vanadium (V) - substitution for (Bi,M)4Ti3O12 thin films [M = lanthanoid] on the ferroelectric properties are evaluated. V-substituted (Bi,M)4Ti3O12 films have been fabricated using a chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique on the (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2/(100)Si substrate. Remnant polarization of (Bi,La)4Ti3O12 and (Bi,Nd)4Ti3O12 films has been improved by the V-substitution independent of the coercive field. The processing temperature of BLT and BNT films could also be lowered by the V-substitution.
