Piezoelectric properties of PZT thick film on Si prepared by an interfacial polymerization method

Description

Pb(Zr/sub 0.53/Ti/sub 0.4/)O/sub 3/ (PZT) films were prepared by a new sol-gel process using an interfacial polymerization technique. The interfacial polymerization process is that an alkoxide precursor solution is poured on the surface of water in a container to form a gel film at the interface between the two immiscible liquids. The precursor solution was prepared by adding PZT alkoxide solution, PZT powders coated with Pb/sub 5/Ge/sub 3/O/sub 11/ (PG), and a surfactant into hexane solvent. After the polymerization at the interface, the gel films were gently placed on a silicon substrate by draining the water in the container. The gel films containing PZT powders were sintered at 950/spl deg/C for 10 min to obtain crystallized PZT films. The remanent polarization of a PZT thick film was 33.1 /spl mu/C/cm/sup 2/. The piezoelectric d/sub 33/ constant measured with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer was 225 pm/V and was independent of frequency from 0.2 to 3 kHz.
