CBT was chosen because of relatively high Curie temperature, ~790°C. PZT sol-gel was chosen because of high dielectric constant. In order to investigate high temperature performance of CBT/PZT, CBT/PZT films were fabricated onto the metal plate substrates and then the reflected echoes from the substrate were monitored from room temperature up to 550°C. The signal strength was compared with bismuth titanate (BIT)/PZT and PZT/PZT. As a result, the echoes were confirmed from CBT/PZT and BIT/PZT samples at 550°C.
