Thin films of neodymium-modified bismuth titanate Bi3.44Nd0.56Ti3O12 (BNT) were grown on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates using chemical solution deposition method. The capacitors made by applying top Au electrodes on BNT films showed significantly improved valu ...
A novel piezoelectric thin-film accelerometer has been designed and its performance has been analysed. The piezoelectric thin film (PZT for example) is delineated into an array of pads to reduce the sensor capacitance. By filling the cavity around the PZT ...
Relaxor Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3(PMN) and its solid solutions with ferroelectric PbTiO3 (PT) are of considerable interest from both the applications and the scientific point of view. In the past, many attempts were made to prepare and study the properties of these ...
Having a composition closed to the morphotropic phase boundary, PZT films of 14 mu m thickness with a porosity less than 7% were prepared by the double print double firing method. At room temperature the dielectric constant, remanent polarization and coerc ...
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 ...
Pb(Zr-x, Ti1-x)O-3 (PZT) piezoelectric thin films are of major interest in MEMS technology for their ability to provide electro-mechanical coupling. In this work, the effective transverse piezoelectric coefficient e(31,f) of sol-gel processed films was inv ...
The mechanical response of piezoelectric cantilever beams actuated by sol-gel- derived lead zirconium titanate (PZT) thin film is reported. Small multilayered beams are used to analyse the converse piezoelectric effect and to measure the mechanical deflect ...
The self-polarization effect is investigated in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) thin films deposited by sol-gel and magnetron sputtering techniques. The effective piezoelectric coefficient of as-grown films, which is proportional to their initial polarization (self-pol ...
We have studied deposition by in-situ reactive sputtering of ferroelectric Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) thin films on Pt and RuO2 electrodes, using temperatures in the 490-620°C range. Nucleation on the electrode was found to be of prime importance for the formati ...
The integration of piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 thin films on silicon substrates for ultrasonic motor applications is reviewed. With suitable buffer and bottom electrode layers the problems due to high processing temperatures in oxygen ambient can be handled ...
