Comparative studies on BaZrxTi1-xO3 thin films deposited by Sol-gel and Pulse laser deposition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Ferroelectric thin films of BaZrxTi1-xO3 (BZT) were deposited on platinum (Pt) and platinized silicon (Pt/Si) substrates by sol-gel and pulse laser deposition technique respectively. The structure and preferred orientation of the films were examined by x-ray diffraction measurements. The phase formation of sol-gel derived BZT films were found to be at high temperature (1100°C) compare to the pulse laser deposited BZT films ∼ 700°C. Polycrystalline films were observed by both techniques. Ferroelectric nature of the films was confirmed by hysteresis and capacitance-voltage characteristics using platinum top electrodes. Dielectric constant as well as loss was found to decrease by increasing Zr contents. Surface morphology predicted smooth crack free surface.
