Characterization of Plzt on Platinum Electrodes for High Density Fram Application
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
A new sol‐gel route to obtain PLZT thin film was developed by combining the advantage of 2‐methoxyethanol as a solvent and acetylacetone as a chelating agent. The sol maintained the same stable state as that of fresh synthesized sol even after 60 days of aging. The PLZT films spin coated onto a Pt/Ti/SiO2 substrate with 15% Pb excess and 7.5% La added sol showed well developed rosette microstructure of uniform grain sizes(0.3 ‐ 0.5 μm) and gave well behaved ferroelectric properties with the values of Ps, Pr, and Ec of 40 μC/cm2, 15 μ C/cm2, and 20 kV/cm respectively at 5V after 650 °C and above annealing. The degradation in polarization of 2.5% La doped PLZT thin film was found to be less than 20% up to 1012 cycles
