Abstract

Lead-zirconate-titanate, Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3, films were produced by the sol-gel method from alkoxide and acetate precursors in a 2-methoxyethanol solvent system. The PZT films were deposited on platinized silicon and single-crystal SrTiO3 substrates for electrical and optical characterization, respectively. The processing parameters, especially excess PbO content and annealing conditions, were shown to have a significant effects on the properties of PZT films. Epitaxial PZT films deposited on SrTiO3 waveguided over 10 mm distances with propagation losses as low as 5.9 dB/cm at 783 nm and a linear electro-optic effect was also demonstrated.
