Nanoporous PbTiO3 films present enhanced tetragonality at lower temperatures than respective dense films. Moreover, the porosity present in the nanoporous films allows an increase of the local piezoelectric response and a decrease of the local coercive field. As a result, these nanoporous films might be used to improve the switching behaviour of ferroelectric thin films.

Ferroelectric thin films have recently proven viable for nonvolatile memory applications in semiconductor technology. Current research is focused on the development of processing technologies and deposition on metallized semiconductor substrates. In this study, niobium-doped lead zirconate titanate thin films were prepared by a dc magnetron-sputtering technique using a multielement metal target. Films were deposited on indium tin oxide coated glass and on metallizations on silicon substrates. The crystallographic structure and surface morphology of the films was examined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction as a function of processing variables such as sputtering pressure, film thickness, and niobium content. Electrical characterization of the films is discussed in terms of ferroelectric hysteresis and polarization properties. Improved ferroelectric properties are achieved through a densified structure resulting from niobium-doping.

s. Yttium-substituted bismuth titanate (Bi4-xYxTi3O12, BYT) thin films were deposited on the (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2(100) substrates by a modified Sol-Gel process and studied in this work in terms ofY3+-modified microstructure and phase development as well as ferroelectric properties. With the aid of the fist-principle, the position of Y3+substitution for Bi3+on the microstructure of BYT was studied.The phase change in the formation of BYT crystalline and the effect of Y3+substitution for Bi3+on the microstructure of BYT was studiedbyXRD. The results showed that the optimal properties of the obtained BYT ferroelectric thin films werex:0.6. The ferroelectric properties of the films were also investigated. When the Y-substituted contentxwas equal to 0.6, the remnant polarization was the largest. The remnant polarization 2Prvalue was equal to 16.02μC/cm2and the coercive fieldEcvalue was 88 kV/cm.

We have investigated the effect that the Ta content has on the ferroelectric properties of strontium bismuth tantalate (SBT) thin films synthesized using metalorganic decomposition (MOD) and spin coating techniques. The physical properties of these SBT samples were strongly dependent upon the Ta ratio. Polarization measurements revealed that Ta-deficient SBT exhibited a relatively low coercive field (2Ec ∼ 87 kV/cm) and a high remanent polarization (2Pr ∼ 15 μC/cm2). The value of 2Pr decreased as the Ta ratio in SBT increased. The improved ferroelectric properties of the Ta-deficient SBT samples may have resulted from the uniformly well-grown bismuth-layered-structured (BLS) phases of the films and their highly preferential orientation along the a and b axes. We suggest that the incorporation of Ta vacancies plays an important role in enhancing the crystallinities and microstructures of Ta-deficient SBT films.

In this study, we investigated the structure and ferroelectric properties of the as-deposited (Bi3.25Nd0.75)(Ti2.9V0.1)O12ferroelectric 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)O12thin films were developed under different conditions to find the optimal deposited parameters. The crystalline structure of the prepared (Bi3.25Nd0.75)(Ti2.9V0.1)O12thin 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/cm2as the measured frequency of 1kHz. Finally, the polarization of as-deposited ferroelectric thin film capacitor was decreased by 9% after the fatigue test with 109switching cycles.
