The MFS and MFIS structures were prepared on the Si and PbO/Si substrate by the r.f. magnetron sputtering method. When the PbO buffer layer was inserted between the PZT thin film and Si substrate, the crystallization of the PZT thin films was considerably improved, and the processing temperature was lowered. Compared with the MFS structure, memory window values of the MFIS structure with the buffer layer were considerably improved. In particular, in the MFIS structure, the maximum value of the memory window is 2.0 V under the applied voltage of 9V for Pt/PZT (200 nm, 400ı)/PbO (80 nm)/Si structures with the PbO buffer layer deposited at the substrate temperature of 300ı.

The PZT thin film was deposited by R.F. Magnetron sputtering with Pb 1.1Zr0.53Ti0.47O3 target. When interlayers were inserted at the between PZT and Pt, The grain growth of the PZT thin films was considerably improved by various interlayers (PbO, TiO2, TiO2/PbO) and had low-processing temperature. Compared to the pure PZT thin films, pyroelectric properties of the PZT thin films inserted by interlayers were relatively measured high value. In particular, PZT thin film deposited on interlayer(PbO) was appeared the best pyroelectric properties (P=189.4μ C/㎠K, FD=12.7×10-6Pa-1/2, FV=0.018㎡/C) respectively. As a result of XPS depth profile analysis, both PZT thin film and interlayers were confirmed as independently existing layer respectively.

ABSTRACTMgO thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrate with different temperatures from 500 °C to 800 °C and different e-beam powers from 25W to 100W using e-beam evaporation method. Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3(PZT) thin films were deposited on MgO/Si(100) substrates with different drying temperatures from 190 °C to 310 °C using sol-gel technique. If there were no buffer layer between the PZT thin film and Si substrate, the peaks corresponding to perovskite PZT phase were not observed. However the buffer layer were inserted between the PZT thin film and Si substrate, it was possible to fabricate perovskite PZT phase. The barrier effects of MgO thin film to the interdiffusion of Pb were investigated by AES study. Optimum thickness of MgO at which PZT/MgO/Si structure shows P-E hysteresis was calculated, and the hysteresis was tested for PZT/MgO/Si structures with different MgO thicknesses.

Changes of residual stress and electrical properties were examined in (001)-oriented and (111)-oriented Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 (PZT) thin films deposited on a buffered-Si substrate with a buffer and bottom electrode layer of a (La,Sr)CoO3(LSCO). A (001)-epitaxial PZT film was prepared on LSCO/CeO2 /Zr0.85Y0.15O1.93(YSZ)/Si. In addition, a (111)-oriented PZT film was prepared on LSCO/SrTiO3(ST) /Mn0.24Zn0.09Fe2.67O4(MZF)/YSZ/Si. The residual tensile stress in (001)-PZT thin films decreased from 2.92 to 1.98 GPa and the remanent polarization increased from 7.5 to 41.7 @C/cm2 as the LSCO thickness increased. In (111)-PZT, the residual tensile stress decreased from 1.72 to 0.95 GPa and remanent polarization increased from 9.5 to 26.7 @C/cm2. The residual tensile stress of (111)-PZT was less than that of (001)-PZT. The remanent polarization in the 80 nm (111)-PZT was greater than that of the 60 nm (001)-PZT. In the 700-nm-thick PZT, the remanent polarization in (001)-PZT was greater than that in (111)-PZT.

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.

This study examined the effect of crystalline orientation and dopants such as Nb and Zn on the piezoelectric coefficient of sol-gel driven Pb1(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3(PZT) and doped PZT thin films. Crack-free 1-μm-thick PZT and doped PZT thin films prepared by using 2-Methoxyethanol-based sol-gel method were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. The highly (111) oriented PZT thin films of pure perovskite structure could be obtained by controlling various parameters such as a PbTiO3 seed layer and a concentration of sol-gel solution. The Nb-Zn doped PZT thin films exhibited high piezoelectric coefficient which was about 50 % higher than that of undoped PZT thin film. The highest measured piezoelectric coefficient was 240 pC/N, which could be applicable to piezoelectrically operated MEMS actuator, sensor, or energy harvester devices.

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.
