Abstract

Influences of the B-site substitution using Dy3+ ion on the crystal structure and ferroelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films were investigated. Dy3+-substituted PZT films with nominal chemical compositions of Pb1.00Dyx (Zr0.40Ti0.60)1-(3x/4)O3 (x = 0 ∼ 0.06) were fabricated by a chemical solution deposition (CSD). Polycrystalline PZT films with preferential orientation of (111)PZT were obtained on (111)Pt/TiO2/SiO2/(100)Si substrates, while epitaxially-grown (111)PZT films were fabricated on (111)SrRuO3//(111)Pt//(100)YSZ//(100)Si substrate. Ratio of PZT lattice parameters (c/a), which corresponds to its crystal anisotropy, was enhanced by the Dy3+-substitution with x = 0.02. Spontaneous polarization (Ps) of Dy3+-substituted PZT film (x = 0.02) along polar [001] axis of PZT lattice was estimated from saturation polarization (Psat) value of the epitaxially-grown (111)PZT film on (111)SrRuO3//(111)Pt//(100)YSZ//(100)Si to be 84 μC/cm2 that was significantly larger than that of non-substituted PZT (= 71 μC/cm2). We concluded that the enhancement of Ps value could be achieved by the Dy3+-substitution that promoted the crystal anisotropy of PZT lattice.
