Basic Features

We propose a microtouch-sensor array applicable in high-temperature environments. PZT thin film was fabricated on a Ti substrate by a hydrothermal method and electrodes were deposited on it to form the sensor and actuator. The actuator is driven at a resonance frequency of 1.045 [kHz] and actuating voltage is low at ±5[V]. The sensor detects impedance change before and after contact. The sensor is simple and easy to miniaturize and works at temperature up to 82°C. This sensor can be used as an automobile control touch-sensor pad instead of conventional capacitive touch pads because it is robust against high temperature. We detail the sensor's basic features.

Today's automobiles serve not only as vehicles but also as mobile offices combining communication tools such as cellphones and car navigation systems providing online information services. The many switches are conventionally distributed on the dashboard. A move is under way, however, to combine them into a multifunctional touch panel. We propose a voice-supported active touch panel. Since information feedback to the operator is important in ensuring correct function selection, the panel we designed combines a vibrator and voice explanation. Touch sensors use PZT thin film sensors. The voice explanation uses a quick response system. This paper reports the features and configuration of the voice-supported active touch panel.

Deposition of thin films via hydrothermal method has various advantages: low deposition temperature, high purity, deposition on a three-dimensional structure,and a large thickness. Although an epitaxial lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin-film deposition has been reported, the ferroelectric measurement has not been conducted due to the peel-off morphology of the film. The current paper investigates the improvement of an epitaxial PZT thin film deposited via a hydrothermal method. By adjusting the position at which the substrate was suspended in the solution, smooth morphology surface was successfully obtained. As a bottom electrode, a 200-nm SrRuO3 thin film was deposited on SrTiO3 single crystals, and the PZT thin film was deposited on SrRuO3. The remanent polarization 2Pr and coercive electric field for PZT on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 (001) were 17.1 μC/cm2 and 36 kV/cm, respectively, and those of PZT on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 (111) were 32.7 μC/cm2 and 59 kV/cm, respectively. The reason for large imprint electrical field, 91 kV/cm and 40 kV/cm for each film, was unclear at this stage, although it is associated with self–alignment poling direction. This self–alignment poling direction was confirmed via scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy and is thought to have been related to the deposition mechanisms.

ABSTRACTHydrothermal method has various advantages; low deposition temperature, high-purity, deposition on a three-dimensional structure and a large thickness. Although epitaxial PZT thin film deposition has reported, ferroelectric measurement has not been conducted due to the peel-off morphology of the film. The present paper investigates the improvement of an epitaxial PZT thin film deposited via a hydrothermal method. By adjusting the position at which the substrate was suspended in the solution, smooth morphology surface was successfully obtained. As a bottom electrode, 200 nm SrRuO3 thin film was deposited on SrTiO3 single crystals, and the PZT thin was deposited on SrRuO3. The remanent polarization 2Pr for PZT on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 (001) was 19.5 μC/cm2 and that of PZT on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 (111) was 37.2 μC/cm2 respectively. The self alignment poling direction was confirmed via scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy and is thought to have been related to the deposition mechanisms.
