Abstract

Epitaxial Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films with various thicknesses ranging from 40 to 400nm were prepared on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The dependence of lattice constant on the film thickness and temperature was examined. The PZT films obtained showed ferroelectric hysteresis loops even when film thickness was 40nm. Applied voltage for obtaining high polarization density decreased as film thickness decreased. The 40nm-thick PZT film had the polarization density (Pr) of 38mC/cm2 at an applied voltage (Vc) of 0.7V.
