摘要
A planar multi target sputtering technology was used to deposit highly (111) oriented Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O-3 (PZT) thin films with x ranging from 0-0.6. The preparation of a stable Pt/ZrO2 electrode is described and analyzed in terms of stress and stress-temperature behavior. The PZT films with low Zr content are under compressive stress after deposition. The dielectric constant and loss peaks occur at a composition close to the morphotropic phase boundary. Films on the tetragonal side of the phase diagram with a Zr content up to about 25% exhibited a strong self polarization and strong voltage shifts in the C(V) curves. High pyroelectric coefficients of > 2 x 10(-4) C/(m(2)K) have been measured on these films without additional poling. The self polarization fades out with increasing Zr content. The low values of the pyroelectric coefficient for the PZT film with 60% Zr is discussed in terms of the possible crystallographic variants after distortion and the tensile stress state during the phase transition. Based on the systematic study of stress and electrical properties of PZT films with a wide range of composition presented in this paper, films with a Zr content up to about 25% turned out to give the best properties for the use in pyroelectric detector arrays.
