Dielectric Properties of Sol Infiltrated Lead Zirconate Titanate Ferroelectric Thick Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ferroelectric PZT(70/30) thick films were fabricated by the hybrid technique adding the sol coating process to the screen-printing process to obtain a good densification. Structural and electrical properties of the thick films with the sol concentration were investigated. The relative dielectric constant increased and dielectric loss decreased with increasing the sol concentration, the values of the thick film coated with sol concentration of 1.5 M were 698 and 2.5 % at 1 kHz, respectively. And the remanent polarization and dielectric breakdown strength of the thick film coated with sol concentration of 1.5 M were about 38 μC/cm2 and 200 kV/cm, respectively. The leakage current densities were less than 10-8 A/cm2 at the applied electric field range of 0-100 kV/cm in all thick films.
