ABSTRACTElectron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) is well suited for investigating the surfaces of ferroelectric films. More importantly, this technique is valuable for ferroelectric films because, reduction of ions, such as Pb2+, Bi3+, and Ti4+ by photon beam is much less likely than probing electron and ion beams which are used in other methods. In the present paper a brief description of the possibilities of ESCA for determining qualitative and quantitative surface composition, and thickness of extremely thin films was presented. Special emphasis was given to multicomponent films, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT). Factors that lead to considerable difference in the composition of the surface were discussed. Different depth profiling techniques using ESCA were also presented.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric and transparent lead–zirconate–titanate thin films were fabricated by rf sputtering. The substrates used were Pt–coated single crystal silicon. The deposition temperatures were relatively low (≅ 200°C). Annealing at high temperatures yielded first pyrochlore type and finally perovskite with good switching characteristics. The phase structure, microstructure, surface composition, and properties were measured as a function annealing time and temperature. In general, the Pb concentration on the surface decreased with increasing annealing temperature or time, whereas Zr concentration increased. It was observed that the grain size of perovskite PZT did not show any significant changes with increasing either anneal temperature or time.

AbstractPure and doped lead-titanate (PT) and lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) thin films have been deposited on platinum-coated silicon by rf-magnetron sputtering from pressed powder targets. The films have been deposited without substrate heating. The amorphous films were then annealed in an oxygen flow. The structure of the films is tetragonal or rhombohedral depending on composition. The electrical resistivity, dielectric permittivity, ferroelectric hysteresis and pyroelectric coefficient are reported.
