Abstract
Bi3.25Pr0.75Ti3O12 (BPT) ferroelectric thin films have been prepared by chemical solution deposition on platinized Si substrates. Well-crystallized BPT films can be achieved by 600 °C rapid thermal annealing. The film surface is smooth and crack-free, composed of uniform spherical grains around 90–100 nm in diameter. The electrical properties of Pt/BPT/Pt thin film capacitors were characterized by hysteresis and impedance measurements. The remanent polarization of 700 °C annealed BPT films is around 20 μC/cm2 at 120-kV/cm stimulus field. The dielectric constant is around 380 at 10 kHz, 100-mV amplitude. The remanent polarization of BPT film showed a slight reduction, 10% of its original value, after 2.8×109 cycles, while a ∼30% reduction of non-volatile polarization was observed.
