Yttrium- doped KNN thin films were grown on Si substrates using the sol-gel technique. The profound effects of Yttrium with different content element (mol % = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9) on the structural and electrical properties of KNN films were analyzed. The doped samples demonstrated a mainly uniform and homogenous microstructure with grain size less than 100 nm. The existence of Y Kα line shown in EDX spectrum confirmed the presence of Y-dopant in KNN based-compound. Small shift position of the Raman peaks indicated that Y incorporated on the interstitial A-site while broaden FWHM ascribed that Y preferably enters B-site lattice at high dopant concentration. The enhanced electrical resistivity at 0.5 mol % Y suggested that more conduction electrons were formed in KNN lattice structure.

Bi0.94Ce0.06Fe0.97Ti0.03O3 and Bi0.94Ce0.06Fe0.97Ti0.03O3/Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 double-layered thin films were fabricated via sol-gel process on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. The influence of Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 buffer layer on microstructure and electrical properties of Bi0.94Ce0.06Fe0.97Ti0.03O3 thin films were investigated in detail. Well-saturated P-E hysteresis loops can be obtained in Bi0.94Ce0.06Fe0.97Ti0.03O3 films with Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 buffer. The remnant polarization (2Pr) of the double-layered thin films is 112 μC/cm2. The coercive field (2Ec) of double-layered films is 672 kV/cm, which is much lower than that of the Bi0.94Ce0.06Fe0.97Ti0.03O3 thin films. The leakage current density of Bi0.94Ce0.06Fe0.97Ti0.03O3/Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 double-layered thin films is 4.12×10-5 A/cm2.

Lead-free (1 − x)Bi0.5(Na0.8K0.2)0.5TiO3-xBiMnO3 (BNKT-xBMO, 0 < x < 0.025) thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by a sol–gel method, and the effects of BiMnO3 addition on the crystal structure and electrical properties were systematically investigated.

ABSTRACTWe have characterized (Sr,Sm)Bi2Ta 2O9 (SSBT) films fabricated by the sol-gel technique on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. For ferroelectric-gate FET applications, a ferroelectric film which has a small remanent polarization and a relatively large coercive field is required. It is demonstrated that Sm doping in ferroelectric SBT films is effective to reduce the remanent polarization and enhance the coercive field. Sr0.5Sm0.2Bi2.2Ta2O9 films (150nm) crystallized at 850°C exhibits good electrical properties with a remanent polarization of 1.7 μC/cm2 and a coercive fields of 85 kV/cm. These values are suitable for ferroelectric-gate FET applications.
