Lr. Zheng et al., PROPOSED MECHANISM FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS OF PZT THIN-FILMS DEPOSITED BY DIRECT-CURRENT GLOW-DISCHARGE ASSISTED LASER-ABLATION, Ferroelectrics, 195(1-4), 1997, pp. 203-206
Ferroelectric thin films of Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) were fabricated on plat
inum coated silicon using the process of direct-current glow discharge
assisted laser ablation. This process improved the crystallinity and
ferroelectric behavior of the films. The c-axis oriented PZT films wer
e obtained when deposited at 730 degrees C with +800v discharge voltag
e. A possible mechanism for the improvement of the deposition process
has been proposed.
