Ferroelectric Hysteresis

ABSTRACTWe report ferroelectric properties and local hysteresis behavior of 2 mole percent Si added PbTiO3 thin films grown on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrate by using pulsed laser deposition technique. The ferroelectric hysteresis loop and scanning piezoresponce images obtained on these films by using AFM with conducting tip demonstrate excellent properties, which are equivalent to any other established ferroelectric material like PZT. Si segregating at the grain boundaries controls grain growth. The grain size and grain boundaries play a crucial role in determining ferroelectric hysteresis properties. The presence of Si in the matrix can be useful in tuning the properties.

Yb-doped bismuth titanate and random oriented Bi4-xYbxTi3O12 (BYbT) thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate with pulsed laser deposition method. The structures and ferroelectric properties of the BYbT films were investigated. Yb doping resulted in a marked improvement in remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec). At an applied electric field of 120kV/cm, the Pr and (Ec) of the BYbT (x=0.8) films annealed at 650°C were 20 μC/cm2 and 85 KV/cm, respectively.

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.

Pzt Thin Film

AbstractPZT thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on unheated Ptcoated Si substrates. As deposited, the films were amorphous. Films crystallized at 550 - 600 °C to produce predominantly crystalline ferroelectric PZT. Crystallization of the amorphous material was accompanied by a linear shrinkage of ∼2 %, as manifested in development of cracks in the film. Spacing, width and morphology of larger cracks followed a regular progression with decreasing film thickness. For film thicknesses less than 500 runm, much of the shrinkage was taken up by small, closely-spaced cracks of local extent. Implications for measurement of PZT thin film ferroelectric properties and processing are discussed.

Dy-doped Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique, and the structures and electrical properties of the films were investigated. XRD results indicated that all of Bi4-xDyxTi3O12 films consisted of single phase of a bismuth-layered structure with well-developed rod-like grains. The remanent polarization ( Pr ) and coercive field (Ec) of the Bi4-xDyxTi3O12 Film with x=0.75 were 25μC/cm2 and 85KV/cm , respectively.

AbstractEpitaxial growth of ferroelectric thin films on GaAs (100) by pulsed laser deposition was examined for integrated electro-optic device applications. To promote epitaxy of ferroelectrics and prevent interdiffusion, we have deposited several types of buffer layers. CeO2 reacted strongly with GaAs. Although Y203 9% stabilized-ZrO2 films showed epitaxial growth, YSZ reacted with GaAs at 780°C. MgO grew epitaxially and was stable even at 780°C. HRTEM observation showed a sharp interface between MgO and GaAs. BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 deposited on MgO/GaAs structures showed epitaxial growth. In-plane orientation was BaTiO3 [100 // MgO [100] // GaAs [100]. Epitaxial BaTiO3 films were c-axis oriented tetragonal phase and showed ferroelectric hysteresis.

AbstractWe have prepared single crystalline epitaxial PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) and BaTiO3 (BTO) thin films on single crystalline epitaxial SrRuO3 (SRO) thin films grown on SrTiO3 (100) (STO) substrates. PZT and SRO thin films were grown using high-pressure on-axis sputtering and BTO using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The film thickness ranged between 12 to 165 nm. Their excellent structural properties, surface smoothness and interface sharpness were demonstrated by X-Ray Diffraction measurements (XRD), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry and Channeling measurements (RBS/C) were used to analyze stoichiometry and crystalline quality. Ferroelectric hysteresis loops were obtained for all films of a thickness down to 12 nm showing a decrease in the remanent polarization Pr and an increase in the coercive field Ec towards thinner film thicknesses. Furthermore we have prepared tunneling junctions with a PZT or BTO barrier thickness of 3-6 nm. Reproducible bi-stable I-V-curves and bias dependence of the conductance were obtained suggesting an influence of the ferroelectric properties of the barrier material on the tunnel current.

The aim of the presented investigations was to deposit the thin films La1−xSrxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) on (100) Si substrate by using the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) method. Structure was exanimated by using XRD, SEM, AFM, TEM and XPS methods. The catalytic properties were analyzed in 4 ppm acetone atmosphere. The doping of Sr thin films La1−xSrxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) resulted in a decrease in the size of the crystallites, the volume of the elemental cell and change in the grain morphology. In the LaFeO3 and La0.9Sr0.1FeO3, clusters around which small grains grow are visible in the structure, while in the layer La0.8Sr0.2FeO3, the visible grains are elongated. The TEM analysis has shown that the obtained thin films had a thickness in the range 150–170 nm with triangular or flat column ends. The experiment performed in the presence of gases allowed us to conclude that the surfaces (101/020) in the triangle-shaped columns and the plane (121/200) faces in flat columns were exposed to gases. The best properties in the presence of CH3COCH3 gas were noted for LaFeO3 thin film with triangle columns ending with orientation (101/020).
