Chemical solution deposition (CSD) and characterization of the solid solution series Ba(1-x)Pbx(Ti,Mn)O-3

In this contribution, Ba(1-X)PbX(Ti,Mn)O-3 (BPT) and its properties will be presented. BPT has been synthesized using CSD based on metal propionates. The films were deposited on platinum covered silicon wafers with a spin-on technique. To convert the amorphous films into the BPT ceramic an annealing at 750 degrees C was performed. The BPT thin films were characterized with X-ray diffraction and SEM, A platinum electrode was sputtered on top of th e BPT thin film to obtain capacitor structures. Hysteresis, C-V measurement s and leakage current measurements were used to investigate the effect of P b substitution on the electrical properties of the film.
