摘要
Lead zirconate (PbZrO3) thin films doped with Ce, Cr and Er were grown on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by sol-gel spin coating process. Polycrystalline films with a phase-pure perovskite structure and a random orientation were obtained regardless of doping materials. Microstructural examinations of the films revealed a two-phase microstructure consisting of large rosette-type perovskite regions with a nanocrystalline phase located in between. Perovskite rosettes were found to be of polycrystalline in nature with grain size ranging between 50-250 nm. Increasing number of annealing cycles and temperature were found to improve the microstructure, crystallinity and electrical properties. Doping elements were also found to increase electrical properties with a saturation polarization (Psat) reaching 65 × 10-6C/cm2 in Ce- and Cr-doped coatings compared to 39 × 10-6 C/cm2 for undoped PZ films. © 2005 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
