Since the advent of the microdiffractometer a new world of analysis possibilities have opened. In this paper we will discuss a novel use of microdifraction. We have developed a method for monitoring domain switching in ferroelectric thin films in situ using micro x-ray diffraction (μXRD). μXRD is a nontraditional x-ray diffraction technique which has recently attracted much attention [3]. The microdiffractometer is capable of obtaining a diffraction pattern from 0 – 150° 20 simultaneously from regions as small as 30μm in diameter. The purpose of this study was to determine if ferroelectric switching of ferroelectric Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films can be observed using μXRD. This method will be extremely valuable as we target the necessary processing parameters to achieve the desired switching behaviors and to monitor switching in micron-sized devices.

ABSTRACTPb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films are being developed for use in optical and electronic memory devices. To study ferroelectric switching behavior, we have produced relatively untextured PZT thin films on Si substrates. We have developed a method for using x-ray diffraction to observe domain switching in situ. Our study involved the use of a micro-diffractometer to monitor the switching behavior in relatively small (0.7mm diameter) electroded areas. Diffraction analyses were done while DC voltages were applied and removed, representing several places in the hysteresis loop. In particular, we were looking for relative intensity changes in the [h 00],[00l] diffraction peaks as a function of position in the hysteresis loop. Our study indicates that the 90° domain switching exhibited by bulk ferroelectrics, is very limited in films on Si when grain sizes are less than about 1 μm.

We present the identification of crystalline phases by in situ X-ray diffraction during growth and monitor the phase evolution during subsequent thermal treatment of CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br, Cl) perovskite thin films.

VO2 and V2O3 thin films were prepared during in situ XRD investigation by oxidation and reduction of V and V2O5. Films show up to 5 orders of magnitude resistance switching.
