Abstract
Pb(Zr0.52,Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) films with conducting oxides, (La0.5,Sr0.5)CoO3(LSCO), have been fabricated by a sol-gel method on SiO2 made by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). PZT films were made using a 1-3 propanediol based precursor solution which has a high viscosity and boiling point appropriate for thick film fabrication. In the precursor solution, Ti-propoxide and Zr-propoxide are partially substituted with acetylacetone. Crack free PZT films (0.8-1μm) have been successfully fabricated at crystallization temperatures above 700°C. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the PZT films were 900-1200 and 2-5%, respectively. The piezoelectric coefficient of PZT films was measured by a modified Mach Zehnder Interferometer. The piezoelectric constant d33 of the PZT films constrained by a substrate was 200 pm/V at 100kV/cm.
