Lead zirconate titanate Pb(ZrxTi(1-x))O-3 (PZT) thin films have been d
eposited by rf magnetron sputtering on Si substrates from a metallic t
arget of nominal composition Pb-1.1(Zr0.4Ti0.6) in a reactive argon/ox
ygen gas mixture. During plasma deposition, in situ optical emission s
pectroscopy measurements show clearly a correlation between the evolut
ion of characteristic atomic emission line intensities Zr-386.4 nm, Ti
-399.9 nm, Pb-405.8 nm, and O-777.2 nm and the thin-film composition d
etermined by a simultaneous use of Rutherford backscattering spectrosc
opy and nuclear reaction analysis. (C) 1998 American Institute of Phys
