Abstract

PZT thin films with the composition Pb(Zr0.6Ti0 4)O3 were processed via metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) with {111} and {100} orientations. Ferroelectric measurements showed that the {111} and {100} oriented films had remanent polarizations of 19.5 μC/cm2 and 16 μC/cm2, respectively. Both x-ray pole figure analysis and the Harris texture index were used to quantify the degree of {100}, {110}, and {111} orientation in each film, with reasonable agreement between the two methods. The {100} oriented thin film was determined to be 582 times random for the Harris technique versus 522 times random for pole figure analysis, while the {111} oriented film was 41 times random for the Harris technique and 81 times random for pole figure analysis. The axisymmetric texture of the films allow 2-D pole figure analysis to provide a quantitative characterization of film texture.
