Abstract

Mixed composition layered lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films sZr/Ti ratio = 30/70 + 65/35d with stoichiometric lead containing PZT thin layer at the film/electrode interface were successfully fabricated by a modified chemical solution deposition method. These modified PZT thin films are highly (111) textured, and have square-shaped P-E hysteresis loops with large remanent polarization and low coercive field, as well as low saturation voltage. In addition, these films show good fatigue and imprint behavior with Pt electrodes; the retained polarization of the modified film was above 50% after fatigue testing to 109 cycles, and the thermally induced voltage shifts (ΔV) were 0.51 V after heating at 150 °C for 4410 s, two times lower than for films without a stoichiometric thin layer.
