The effect of Bragg reflectors on the electromechanical performance of parallel-plate ferroelectric capacitors

Parallel-plate capacitors based on ferroelectric thin films are considered as high density capacitors and varactors. Due to the small thickness of the ferroelectric films, typically less than 1.0 μm, high electric fields are generated even at relatively low voltages inducing piezoelectric effect associated with electrostriction. This induced piezoelectric effect has negative impact on ferroelec...

Tunable Schottky Barrier in Photovoltaic BiFeO3 Based Ferroelectric Composite Thin Films

We examine the photo-assisted polarization loop in a BiFeO3 thin film under UV light illumination. BiFeO3 thin film prepared by pulsed laser deposition method onto the BaTiO3 thin film and the polarization behavior has been measured under poling voltage. Our results show the engineered polarization due to controllable schottky barrier under inverse poling voltage. This control on schottky barri...

Thin Film Ferroelectric Tunable Devices for Reconfigurable Radios

In this paper, a summary of our work in the area of tunable microwave circuits based on thin film ferroelectrics is presented. First, a technique is introduced to improve the linearity of thin film ferroelectric tunable capacitors. Measurements show an improvement in the 3rd order intermodulation point at the input (IIP3) of 16 dB. Next, the design and fabrication of an impedance tuner employin...
