AbstractSodium bismuth titanate (Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3: NBT) a lead free piezoelectric; exhibits promising features such that it could be an alternate to lead based piezoelectrics. In this work, we report the microstructural influence on piezoelectric and leakage current behavior of NBT thin films grown by pulsed laser ablation (PLD). Various microstructural features like coarse faceted grains and fine spherical grains was achieved by effective optimization of substrate temperature and oxygen partial pressures. The studies reveals that, leakage current of NBT thin films were dominated by interface limited modified Schottky emission type of conduction. The piezoelectric domain studies reveal that for NBT thin films with fine spherical grain the domain pattern was highly dominated by the morphology and in the case of coarse faceted grains the domains were relatively large and the domains were extending beyond the grain boundaries.

ABSTRACTUsing La0.5Sro.5CoO3 bottom electrode layers, Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were grown on LaAlO3(001), Al2O3(0001), and Si(001) substrates. Crystalline orientation of the Bi4Ti3O12 thin films was examined by x-ray diffraction techniques. The cross-sectional microstructures of Bi4Ti3O12/La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 heterostructures are investigated. It is found that the crystalline orientation and the microstructure affect leakage current behavior of the Bi4Ti3O12 layers.

In microelectromechanical systems, piezoelectric aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films are commonly used as functional material for sensing and actuating purposes. This is due to excellent dielectric properties as well as a high chemical and thermal stability of AlN. In this work, we investigate the leakage current behavior (i.e. IV characteristic and charging behavior) of AlN thin films sputter deposited at varying plasma powers (300 W – 800 W) and deposition pressures (4 µbar – 8 µbar) up to an electric field of 0.5 MV/cm. First results show a Poole-Frenkel behavior for all samples with an increase in leakage current by orders of magnitude as the degree of c-axis orientation decreases. In addition, the discharging curves (i.e. meaning the current discharge after an applied constant electric field) agree well with the empirical Curie - von Schweidler Law (I(t) = I0 + I1t-n) and an increase of the parameter I1 with temperature is observed. I1 shows qualitatively the same behavior as the overall stored charge. Furthermore, the results show a strong negative correlation between the parameters n and the time constant τ1/2 (i.e. defined as the time after which half the stored charge has decayed), proofing that n is a good indicator for the decay time of the stored charge.

ABSTRACTBi4Ti3O12 thin films have been grown on indium tin oxide coated glass by pulsed laser deposition. The films are rapidly thermal annealed at 650 °C in various kinds of ambients. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy are used to investigate crystallization and microstructures, respectively. Using Auger electron microscopy, chemical compositions and depth profiles are examined. Optical and current-voltage characteristics measurements of the films show that their transmittance and leakage current behaviors are strongly dependent upon the microstructures. O2 partial pressure in the rapid thermal annealing process is found to be an important parameter which determines crystallization, microstructures, and leakage current behaviors of the Bi4Ti3O12 thin films.
