0.82NBT-0.18ST and 0.85NBT-0.15ST thin films have been prepared on Si substrates by a modified metalorganic solution deposition process. To achieve films with better ferroelectric properties, three main items have been changed in the process. Then the crystal structures, surface microstructures, hysteresis loops, fatigue curves and capacitance-voltage curves of the films were measured. It can be found that NBT-ST films can crystallize well after annealing at 650 °C for 5 minutes and have smooth surface microstructures. The 0.85NBT-0.15ST thin films exhibit better well-defined hysteresis loops than 0.82NBT-0.18ST, with a remnant polarization of 1.1 mC/cm2 and a coercive fields of 44.2 kV/cm. The clockwise C-V curves show that they have a desired polarization-type switching mode. The memory window of 0.82NBT-0.18ST thin film is about 1.8V, and that of 0.85NBT-0.15ST thin film is about 2.5V.

A series of Pb(Ti1-xAlx)O3, Pb(Ti1-xNbx)O3 and Pb(Ti1-xAlx/2Nbx/2)O3 thin films were fabricated onto Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates using a chemical solution deposition process. The dielectric constant of the Pb(Ti1-xAlx)O3 thin films increased with increase of aluminum content, while a maximum dielectric constant value was observed for the Pb(Ti1-xNbx)O3 and Pb(Ti1 xAlx/2Nbx/2)O3 thin films when the doping contents were 10 and 20 mol%, respectively. The dielectric constant of the Pb(Ti0.8Al0.1Nb0.1)O3 thin film is about 600, being two times higher than those of Pb(Ti0.9Al0.1)O3 and Pb(Ti0.9Nb0.1)O3 thin films. The Pb(Ti0.8Al0.1Nb0.1)O3 thin film showed less than 10-7 A/cm2 current density at ±150 kV/cm, being superior to the leakage property of the PbTiO3, Pb(Ti0.9Al0.1)O3 and Pb(Ti0.9Nb0.1)O3 thin films. The co-doping of aluminum and niobium is more effective to increase the dielectric and ferroelectric properties as compared with the individual aluminum or niobium doping.

Lead-free ferroelectric (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3(BNT) thin films were prepared by chemical solution deposition. BNT and Mn-doped BNT precursor thin films crystallized in the perovskite single phase at 700 °C on Pt/TiOx/SiO2/Si substrates. The leakage current density of the perovskite BNT films, especially in the high applied field region, was reduced by doping with a small amount of Mn. Also, Mn doping markedly improved the ferroelectric properties of the films. 0.5 and 1.0 mol% Mn-doped BNT thin films exhibited well-shaped ferroelectric polarization (P) electric field (E) hysteresis loops at room temperature. Furthermore, the 1 mol% Mn-doped BNT films showed a typical field-induced strain loop, and the effectived33values were estimated to be about 60 pm/V.

Intergrowth-superlattice-structured SrBi4Ti4O15–Bi4Ti3O12(SBT–BIT) films prepared on p-Si substrates by sol-gel processing. Synthesized SBT–BIT films exhibit good ferroelectric properties. As the annealing temperature increases from 600°C to 700°C, the remanent polarization Prof SBT–BIT films increases, while the coercive electric field Ecdecreases. SBT–BIT films annealed at 700°C have a Prvalue of 18.9µC/cm2which is higher than that of SBT (16.8µC/cm2) and BIT (14.6µC/cm2), and have the lowest Ecof 142 kV/cm which is almost the same as that of SBT and BIT. The C-V curves of Ag/SBT-BIT/p-Si heterostructures show the clockwise hysteresis loops which reveal the memory effect due to the polarization. The memory window in C-V curve of Ag/SBT-BIT/p-Si is larger than that of Ag/SBT/p-Si heterostructure or Ag/BIT/p-Si heterostructure.

In this study, thin films of CaBi4Ti4O15with preferential crystal orientation were prepared by the chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique on a SiO2/Si substrate. The films consisted of a crystalline phase of bismuth-layer-structured dielectric. The as-deposited CaBi4Ti4O15thin films were crystallized in a conventional furnace annealing (RTA) under the temperature of 700 to 800°C for 1min. Structural and morphological characterization of the CBT thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The impedance analyzer HP4294A and HP4156C semiconductor parameters analyzer were used to measurement capacitance voltage (C-V) characteristics and leakage current density of electric field (J-E) characteristics by metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor (MFIS) structure. By the experimental result the CBT thin film in electrical field 20V, annealing temperature in 750°C the CBT thin film leaks the electric current is 1.88x10-7A/cm2and the memory window is 1.2V. In addition, we found the strongest (119) peak of as-deposited thin films as the annealed temperature of 750°C

Lead-free Bi0.5K0.5TiO3 (BKT) ferroelectric films were synthesized on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates via the chemical solution deposition. The influence of the excess potassium on the microstructures and the ferroelectric properties of the films was investigated in detail. The results showed that the BKT films have reached the well-crystallized state in the single-phase perovskite structure with 20 mol.% excess amount of potassium. For this film, the ferroelectric properties of the films were significantly enhanced. The remnant polarization (Pr) and maximum polarization (Pm) reached the highest values of 9.4 μC/cm2 and 32.2 μC/cm2, respectively, under the electric field of 400 kV/cm.

AbstractElectrical characteristics of ferroelectric thin films in planar electrode configuration are important to characterize these materials for their applications in micro electro mechanical (MEM) and tunable microwave devices. In the present work we have prepared polycrystalline Pb1划3x/2Ndx(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 (x = 0.0 to 10.0 at %) thin films on platinized silicon substrate by chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique. The films were characterized in terms of their dielectric and ferroelectric properties by depositing planar interdigital finger electrodes on the surface of the films by electron beam lithography. The capacitance and loss tangent of undoped and 4 at % Nd doped PZT films measured at 100 kHz were found to be 138 pF, 0.033 and 95 pF, 0.019 respectively. Saturated hysteresis loops were obtained in undoped PZT film by applying 100 V across 10 μm electrode separation. Nd doped PZT films on the other hand, electrically shorted at comparatively lower voltage. The electrical characteristics of these films are correlated with their phase formation behavior and microstructural features.

Eu2O3-doped bismuth titanate (Bi1-xEuxTi3O12: BET) thin films with random oriention were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering technique, and the structures and ferroelectric properties of the films were investigated. XRD studies indicated that all of BET films consisted of single phase of a bismuth-layered structure with well-developed rod-like grains. For samples with x=0.0 , 0.25, 1.0 and 1.25, I-E characteristics exhibited negative differential resistance behaviors and their ferroelectric hysteresis loops were characterized by large leakage current, whereas for samples with x=0.5 and 0.75, I-E characteristics were simple ohmic behaviors and their ferroelectric hysteresis loops were the saturated and undistorted hysteresis loops. The remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of the BET Film with x=0.75 were above 30μC/cm2 and 85KV/cm , respectively.

Pr6O11-doped bismuth titanate (BixPryTi3O12: BPT) thin films with random oriention were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering technique, and the structures and ferroelectric properties of the films were investigated. XRD studies indicated that all of BPT films consisted of single phase of a bismuth-layered structure with well-developed rod-like grains. For samples with y=0.06, 0.3, 1.2 and 1.5, ferroelectric hysteresis loops were characterized by large leakage current, whereas for samples with y=0.6 and 0.9, ferroelectric hysteresis loops were the saturated and undistorted hysteresis loops. The remanent polarization ( Pr ) and coercive field (Ec) of the BPT Film with y=0.9 were above 35μC/cm2 and 80KV/cm , respectively. After 3×1010 switching cycles, 20% degradation of 2Pr is observed in the film with y=0.9.

ABSTRACT(Bi,La)4Ti3O12 (BLT) thin films with various Bi2O3 template layers were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by a chemical solution deposition method. Both of the BLT films with a thin Bi2O3 template layer and those without a Bi2O3 layer had a highly c-axis oriented growth, while both of the BLT films with a thin Bi2O3 bottom layer and those with a Bi2O3 intermediate layer were highly c-axis oriented. It was found that the use of Bi2O3 template layers improved significantly the ferroelectric properties of BLT thin films. In addition, the thin films with a thin Bi2O3 template layer showed good dielectric properties. All the capacitors with Bi2O3 template layers showed high polarization fatigue resistance and good retention properties.

Ca1-xSrxBi4Ti4O15 thin films were fabricated by sol-gel method on Pt(100)/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. Influence of Sr content on the microstructure and ferroelectric properties of Ca1-xSrxBi4Ti4O15 thin films were systematically studied. The results indicate that Ca0.4Sr0.6Bi4Ti4O15 thin film has better ferroelectric properties with remanent polarization (2Pr) of 29.1+C/cm2, coercive field (2Ec) of 220 kV/cm. Furthermore, the film has good fatigue resistance. The better ferroelectric properties of Ca0.4Sr0.6Bi4Ti4O15 thin film originate from the relatively high concentration of a-axis oriented grains.
