Abstract

Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 (PZT) solutions were prepared by reacting lead 2-ethylhexanoate with titanium n-propoxide and zirconium n-propoxide. Films were deposited on several kinds of metal substrate by dip-coating. Crystalline PZT films and amorphous PZT films were heat-treated for 1 hour at 650°C and at 400°C, respectively. Electrical properties including dielectric, pyroelectric and ferroelectric properties of both crystalline and amorphous PZT films were measured and compared. The amorphous PZT thin films exhibited ferroelectric-like behaviors.
