D. Bolten et al., Chemical solution deposition (CSD) and characterization of the solid solution series Ba(1-x)Pbx(Ti,Mn)O-3, FERROELECTR, 225(1-4), 1999, pp. 923-929
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.
