Abstract

The use of grazing incidence parallel beam x-ray diffraction (GIXRD) in the characterization of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films is described. This tool has enabled us to depth profile the films. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results obtained from a cross section of one film are shown to compliment the GIXRD results. The variation in crystallographic structure versus depth in the film was the primary focus of this study.

The insults from three PZT films having Zr/Ti ratios of 25/75, 48/52, and 75/25 are given. TEM results are reported from the sample with a Zr/Ti ratio of 48/52.
