Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) and Pb(Zr,Ti,Nb)O-3 (PNZT) thin films were grown on platinized silicon substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering followed by a post-annealing treatment. The Niobium, Nb, concentration varied from 1 to 7 at.% by increment of 1 at.%. The eff ...
This paper reviews deposition, integration. and device fabrication of ferroelectric PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) films for applications in microelectromechanical systems. As examples, a piezoelectric ultrasonic micromotor and pyroelectric infrared detector array are ...
The state of the art of thin-film pyroelectric infrared (IR) detectors is reviewed covering device physics, material performance, micro-fabrication and device examples. Emphasis is given to special issues related to thin films, such as small heat capacitie ...
Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 (PZT) and Pb(Zr, Ti, Nb)O-3 (PNZT) thin films have been deposited on platinized silicon substrates by sputtering followed by a postannealing treatment. The Nb concentration in the films varied between 1 and 7 at. % with increments of 1 at. %. ...
A unified approach for analysis of polarization fatigue and size effects on ferroelectric switching in relationship with injection and entrapment of charge at the interfacial layer of the ferroelectric film is developed. The proposed model suggests that an ...
New micromachined pressure sensors based on PZT coated silicon cantilevers have been fabricated and integrated in a photoacoustic gas detector. PZT Sol-gel thin films texture and composition were optimized with respect to the transverse piezoelectric coeff ...
The incorporation of up to 40 % lead excess into the perovskite lattice of Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) has been investigated. Three independent chemical composition analysis methods confirmed the correct determination of the lead excess, present as Pb2O3. High reso ...
This paper reviews deposition, integration, and device fabrication of PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) films for applications in micro-electromechanical systems. An ultrasonic micromotor is described as an example. A summary of the published data on piezoelectric proper ...
The printing of lead zirconate titanate (PZT, Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3) piezoelectric thick films on silicon substrates is being studied for potential use as microactuators, microsensors, and micro.. transducers. A fundamental challenge in the fabrication of useful PZ ...
