Abstract

Ca Bi 2 Nb 2 O 9 (CBNO) thin films deposited on platinum coated silicon substrates by the polymeric precursor method exhibited good structural, dielectric, and piezoelectric characteristics. Capacitance-voltage measurements indicated good ferroelectric polarization switching characteristics. Remanent polarization and drive voltage values were 4.2μC∕cm2 and 1.7V for a maximum applied voltage of 10V. The film has a piezoelectric coefficient d33 equal to 60pm∕V, current density of 0.7μA∕cm2, and Curie temperature of 940°C. The polar-axis-oriented CBNO is a promising candidate for use in lead-free high Curie point in ferroelectric and piezoelectric devices.
