Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 Thin Films on Zirconium Membranes for Micromechanical Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient, electrically conductive, chemical barrier for the integration of piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) films on reactive metal substrates has been developed, opening new possibilities for PZT integration on micromechanical and semiconductor devices, Very reactive zirconium films have been taken in order to test the quality of the specially designed RuO2/Cr buffer under the condition of in situ sputter deposition of PZT at 600°C. The PZT/RuO2 interface was found to be free of intermediate phases. A PZT activated metallic micromechanical element was demonstrated with a thin film Zr membrane.

CHARACTERIZATION OF PIEZOELECTRICALLY ACTUATED PLD Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 THIN FILM MEMBRANES
In our previous work, we presented a novel technique for fabricating Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) chips in order to investigate structural and piezoelectric properties of Pulsed Laser Deposited (PLD) Lead Zirconium Titanate (Pb(Zr,Ti)O3) (PZT) thin films [1]. We accomplished the fabrication of the devices we presented last year and obtained fully functional PLD PZT membranes. In this ...
متن کاملSol–gel derived Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films: Residual stress and electrical properties
Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 compositions are under investigation for applications that include integrated capacitors, piezoelectric sensors, and actuators. Sol–gel synthesis and spin coating are popular routes to the formation of high quality, dense, crack free, insulating films. However, the electrical properties of the films are often different than those measured for bulk specimens of the same composition. ...
متن کاملCOMPOSITION DEPENDENCE OF MECHANICAL AND PIEZOELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF PULSED LASER DEPOSITED Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 THIN FILMS
In this contribution we present the compositional dependence of the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient (d33,f), residual stress and Young’s modulus of Pb(Zrx,Ti1−x)O3 (PZT) thin films. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was used to deposit epitaxial PZT thin films with a < 110 > preferred orientation on silicon cantilevers. By using PLD, excellent piezoelectric properties of the PZT were observe...
متن کاملTemperature–Time Texture Transition of Pb(Zr1−xTix)O3 Thin Films: I, Role of Pb-rich Intermediate Phases
Lead-rich intermediate phases, in particular Pt,,Pb and PbO, are found to form on Pt(ll1) atop Ti-buffered Si substrates prior to formation of Pb(Zr, -*TiX)O3 (PZT) thin films. Pt,_,Pb is a [ill] textured transient intermetallic phase that nucleates PZT[111] texture. PbO is a [OOl] textured layer compound that nucleates PZT[100] texture. The formation conditions and lattice matching of these in...
متن کاملProbing fatigue in ferroelectric thin films with subnanometer depth resolution
The authors report the study of polarization fatigue in Pb Zr,Ti O3 PZT ferroelectric thin films using in situ high-resolution grazing incidence x-ray specular reflectivity of synchrotron radiation. The results demonstrate that there is no formation of a region of different electron densities in the film growth direction with subnanometer depth resolution during fatigue. The upper bounds on the...
