Abstract
Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick films with a thickness of 10-20 μm were fabricated on silicone substrates using an aerosol deposition method. The starting powder, which had diameters of 1-2μm, was observed using SEM. The average diameter (d50) was 1.1 μm. An XRD analysis showed a typical perovskite structure, a mixture of the tetragonal phase and rhombohedral phase. The as-deposited film with nano-sized grains had a fairly dense microstructure without any cracks. The deposited film showed a mixture of an amorphous phase and a very fine crystalline phase by diffraction pattern analysis using TEM. The as-deposited films on silicon were annealed at a temperature of 700°C. A 20μm thick PZT film was torn out as a result of the high compressive stress between the PZT film and substrate.
