Abstract

Ferroelectric film-on-foil capacitors hold special promise to replace discrete passive components in the development of electronic devices that require greater performance and smaller size. We have deposited Pb0.92La0.08Zr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PLZT) films on base metal foils to form film-on-foil capacitor sheets that can be embedded into printed circuit boards. The rootmean-square surface roughness was determined to be ≍3 nm for 1.15-μm-thick PLZT films on LaNiO3-buffered Ni foils. The following dielectric properties were measured: relative permittivity of ≍1300 and dielectric loss (tan δ) of ≍0.05, leakage current density of 6.6 × 10−9 A/cm2 at 25°C and 1.4 × 10−8 A/cm2 at 150°C, and mean breakdown strength >2.5 MV/cm. A remnant polarization (Pr) of ≍33 μC/cm2 and coercive field strength (Ec) of ≍50 kV/cm were observed with a maximum voltage of 300 V applied during the P-E loop measurement. The energy storage capability of the dielectric film is ≍45 J/cm3.
