Ferroelectric 0.4Pb(Yb1/2Nb1/2)O-3-0.6PbTiO(3) (PYNT) thin film was prepare
d on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by multi-target rf magnetron sputtering
deposition at substrate temperature of 550 degreesC. The YbNbO4 oxide targe
t was used as Yb and Nb sources. The effect of composition and substrate wa
s investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. Although the formation of per
ovskite phase mainly depends on the Pb sputtering power, the processing win
dow is very narrow on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate. The substrates with the thic
k Pt electrodes tend to reduce the perovskite phase. Meanwhile, the TiO2 bu
ffer layer deposited on the Pt surface is observed to enhance the formation
of the perovskite phase. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
