Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the structure and ferroelectric properties of the as-deposited (Bi3.25Nd0.75)(Ti2.9V0.1)O12 ferroelectric thin films on ITO substrate fabricated by rf magnetron sputtering method. The electrical, ferroelectric and physical characteristics of as-deposited (Bi3.25Nd0.75)(Ti2.9V0.1)O12 thin films were developed under different conditions to find the optimal deposited parameters. The crystalline structure of the prepared (Bi3.25Nd0.75)(Ti2.9V0.1)O12 thin films was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to observe the film thickness and the surface morphology including grain size and porosity. Additionally, the remnant polarization of the as-deposited ferroelectric thin films was improved by neodymium and vanadium elements doped in this study. The remanent polarization of as-deposited ferroelectric thin films was 11 μC/cm2 as the measured frequency of 1kHz. Finally, the polarization of as-deposited ferroelectric thin film capacitor was decreased by 9% after the fatigue test with 109 switching cycles.
