Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ferroelectric perovskite thin films for voltage tunable applications, namely (Ba, Sr)TiO3 (Barium Strontium Titanate or BST) and (Pb, Sr)TiO3 (Lead Strontium Titanate or PST), are synthesized via the so-called sol-gel route. While BST shows the tendency to severe film cracking, PST can be grown crack free onto platinised Si standard substrates and even directly onto SiO2, SiNx or bare Si. The growth kinetics of PST on platinised SiO2/Si and directly on SiO2/Si are studied in detail using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron and atomic force microscopy, SEM and AFM respectively. It is shown that PST begins to crystallise at 500°C on Ti/Pt and 550°C directly on SiO2. After a thermal treatment of 650°C for 15 min both films are fully crystallised with random (100) and (110) orientation and a smooth surface. The dielectric properties, e.g. dielectric constant, loss and tunability, of PST 50/50 are measured using a standard Ti/Pt bottom electrode with Cr/Au top electrodes and a TiW/Cu bottom electrode on which the PST thin film was bonded with TiW/Cu top electrodes. The Cu/PST/Cu system shows an enhanced performance in terms of loss resulting in a larger device quality factor and a figure of merit (FOM) of 18.25 compared to 16.6 for the configuration using a Pt bottom electrode. The maximum tunability is 73% with an applied voltage of 35V and the dielectric constant at zero bias is ~ 420 with a loss

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ferroelectric material barium titanate exhibits exceptional electro-optic and dielectric properties, making it desirable for electro-optic applications, especially in thin film form. The effective nonlinear optical and dielectric properties of BaTiO3 films are determined by the ferroelectric domain structure. The ferroelectric domain structures of epitaxial BaTiO3 films on MgO (100) substrates were investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning probe microscopy (SPM), and second harmonic generation (SHG) techniques.

Book excerpt: Perovskites form a large class of materials, deceptively simple in basic structure but immensely complex in compositional variations, symmetry changes, and physical properties. They include ferroelectrics, magnetoresistive materials, oxide ion and proton conductors, superconductors, and an abundant phase in the Earth's lower mantle. This volume brings together researchers operating in diverse areas with the common goal of understanding perovskite's intrinsic and extrinsic properties and their potential use. A recurring theme is the interplay of theory and experiment in understanding and predicting properties. Sessions on theory and modeling are featured, emphasizing phase changes and elasticity of Earth materials such as MgSiO3, and CaSiO3, and underscoring new magnetic and ferroelectric materials, including thin films and multilayers. These are complemented by experimental studies of the synthesis of new families of perovskites and property measurements. The volume shows the diversity of materials, measurements, and ideas being studied at present.

This book was released on 1994 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research is reported for the relationships that exist between processing, composition and structure development, and properties, for sol-gel derived $rm Pb(Zrsb{0.53}Tisb{0.47})Osb3$ (PZT) thin layers. Emphasis was placed on the effect of thermal processing conditions on the gel-to-ceramic conversion. In addition, the effects of interfacial reactions, and residual stresses on the measured properties were also considered. The purpose of the work was to contribute to the fundamental understanding of processes which occur during the high temperature treatment of sol-gel derived thin layers. The gel-to-ceramic conversion was monitored by transmission electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. As-deposited coatings were found to be amorphous with compositional heterogeneity at the nanoscale. This is the first report which identifies the nature of the compositional heterogeneity. Structural rearrangement occurred during thermal processing and, for slow heating (50$spcirc$C/min), the coatings approached compositional uniformity on crystallization into the perovskite phase. However, for faster heating rates, the degree of structural rearrangement was limited, thereby decreasing the shrinkage normal to the coating, and crystallization was shifted to a higher temperature. Also, for very rapid thermal processing (5000$spcirc$C/min), compositional heterogeneity was retained in the coatings after crystallization. An apparent dependence on thickness for the properties for ferroelectric PZT thin layers was observed. It was confirmed that a cover coat of a PbO-precursor deposited onto the gel-derived layers prior to firing compensated for the volatilization of PbO which occurred during heating, resulting in coatings which displayed improved properties over those prepared without a cover coat. A simple series capacitor model was investigated to interpret the data. SIMS and TEM analyses indicated that diffusion of some of the species resulted in the formation of a sub-electrode nano-crystalline phase, however, no second phases were observed between the electrode and the coating. Measurements of the residual stress state in PZT coatings deposited onto platinized silicon substrates, and fired at 700$spcirc$C, indicated a tensile stress of approximately +200MPa in the plans of the coating. Thermal expansion mismatch stresses were calculated to be of the order of $-$300MPa in compression, indicating that large tensile stresses were generated during constrained shrinkage.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fabricating lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films for nonvolatile memories and decoupling capacitors, various deposition methods have been investigated. Each can produce films with acceptable dielectric and ferroelectric properties, but sol-gel methods offer excellent control of film stoichiometry and coating uniformity. The sol-gel approaches for PZT film fabrication fall into two categories: processes that use 2-methoxyethanol as a solvent, and processes that use chelating agents, such as acetic acid, for reducing the hydrolysis sensitivity of the alkoxide compounds. Due to concerns about the toxicity of 2-methoxyethanol, we have concentrated on the second category. It was found that, in addition to reducing the hydrolysis sensitivity, the chelating agents serves to define the processing behavior of the films: film consolidation after deposition and densification and crystallization during heat treatment. This paper discusses the relations between precursor structure (reactions between chelating agents and the metal alkoxide starting reagents) and film consolidation, densification, and crystallization.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The fundamental aspect of this research was to synthesize nano particles of certain materials and to investigate their properties related to potential use in spin-field effect transistor (Spin-FET). Barium titanate was doped with ferromagnetic material and nano particles of this material were synthesized using a sol-gel process. Sol-gels were characterized for their size and shape using an atomic force microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Composition of these compounds and the distribution of dopents were investigated using x-ray fluorescence and the scanning electron microscope. Dielectric properties were measured using high precision impedance, capacitance, and resistance (LCR) meter. Barium titanate, when doped with ferromagnetic materials, becomes ferroelectric material. Ferroelectric materials have finite polarization even in the absence of an applied electric field, which can be exploited for their use as source/drain in spin-FET. The sintering temperature and pH of the sol-gel solution play important roles in determining the dielectric constants, particle size and distribution of dopent in barium titanate. It was found that iron has advantage over nickel and cobalt as a dopent, as it has high electrical susceptibility"--Leaf iii.
