Preparation of PST Ferroelectric Thin Films by Sol-Gel Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sol-gel method is used for the formation of Pb0.499Sr0.499TiO3 (PST)thin films. The initial films were prepared with spin coating sol solution on silicon wafer and drying at room temperature and then heating coated dry sol film at 400°C for 10min. This process was repeated for 1-4 times to obtain 4 initial films with different thicknesses. The 4 initial films were annealed at 700°C for 2h to obtain PST ceramics films. The morphologies of the surface and cross-section of PST films were observed with a scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The phase structures of PST films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction meter (XRD). Experimental results show that PST film prepared by coating sol on silicon with different thicknesses can be high smooth,uniform and compact film.
