Abstract

In this paper, thin films of La- modified (Bi,La)FeO3-PbTiO3 (BLF-PT) morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) solid solutions have been prepared by using sol-gel processing. A thin Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) template layer was introduced to make BLF-PT thin films adhere tightly to the platinized silicon (Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si) substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that BLF-PT thin films were of the perovskite structure without detectable pyrochlore phase annealing at 650–750°C. The cross sectional and plain view images of or our specimen were observed by using the scan electrical microscope (SEM). The room temperature dielectric constant K and tanδ were of ∼800 and 4% respectively, for BLF-PT thin films using a measurement frequency of 1 kHz. Our preliminary experiments indicated that the sol-gel derived BLF-PT thin films have good insulation resistance and measurable dielectric and ferroelectric responses.
