Abstract

Pb(Zr_0.52TiO_0.48)O₃ (PZT) thin films have been deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrate by sol-gel method with pre-baking at 300°C, and then successfully crystallized at low temperature of 160°C by hydrothermal annealing in mixture solution of KOH and Pb(OH)₂. Hydrothermally-annealed PZT films show good crystallinity with pure perovskite phase and are oriented to (111). The surface and cross section observed by SEM show granulated structure of grain size of about 100 nm. The electric properties of the samples before post-baking and after post-baking were measured. The sample after post-baking shows good hysteresis loop with Pr=26.3 μm/cm² and E_c=40.1 kV/cm
