The ferroelectric PZT thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substr
ate by RF sputtering method followed by the rapid thermal annealing. T
he preparation of the Pt and Ti thin films as bottom electrode, and th
eir influences on the PZT thin films were studied in details. The subs
trate temperature during sputtering was room temperature; the rapid th
ermal annealing temperature was 500 degrees C-750 degrees C and the an
nealing time, was 30-70s. The influences of different preparation para
meters on the structure and electric properties were studied with X-ra
y diffraction technique and RT66A Standardized Ferroelectric Test Syst
em. The electric properties of the prepared PZT thin film was: P-s=39
mu c/cm(2), P-r=9.3 mu c/cm(2), E(c)=28KV/mm, epsilon=300, p=10(9) Ome
