摘要
Pyroelectric properties of high-quality (0001)AlN films grown on (111) Si were studied. The pyroelectric coefficient p was measured using the dynamic method. The value was in the range of 6-8 muC/(m(2) K), yielding a p/epsilon figure-of-merit of 0.8-0.95. The pyroelectric coefficient was independent of temperature and applied bias. Leakage current as low as 1-2x10(-9) A/cm(2) was measured at 5 V on large area devices. The obtained results indicate that AlN films can be used in pyroelectric thin-film devices.
