Abstract

Dense amorphous PLZT films with composition (Pb0.925La0.075) (Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3 were deposited on Pt/MgO (100) substrates by rf-magnetron sputtering without heating the substrates and were subsequently crystallized by postdeposition annealing. The optimum conditions in the two-step annealing process to crystallize the amorphous PLZT films were investigated. The post-deposition-annealed films showed excellent crystallinity and c-axis orientation when the amorphous PLZT films were annealed in an oxygen flow at a soaking temperature for the initial nucleation process of T1=300°C, a temperature for crystal growth process of T2=750°C, and the T2-soaking time of t2=60min. Conventional Pt/PLZT/Pt capacitors were fabricated by forming Pt top electrodes on crystallized 300-nm-thick PLZT films. The remanent polarization and the coercive field of the present capacitors, which indicated almost symmetric P-E hysteresis loops, were 2Pr≅30μC/cm2 and 2Ec≅90kV/cm, respectively. The high-endurance PLZT capacitors with excellent ferroelectric properties produced by the present optimized crystallization have great potential for application to nonvolatile memory devices.
