Abstract
Soft ferroelectric BaTiO3 ceramics having a very low coercive field of 40 V/mm were prepared by substituting 9mol% Hf-Zr for Ti-site of BaTiO3. Accordingly, the soft ferroelectric materials have great potential for applications in ferroelectric thin-film devices due to a relatively low coercive field, which allows easy switching of the ferroelectric domains. In addition, sol-gel-derived soft ferroelectric BaTiO3 thin films were prepared by spin coating. The microstructure and electrical properties of the films were measured on Pt and Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) (hereinafter, "PS") substrates. The room-temperature coercive field, Ec, and remanent polarization, Pr, for the 870-nm-thick soft ferroelectric BaTiO3 thin film prepared on platinized silicon substrate at 700°C were determined to be 25 kV/cm and 7 μC/cm2, respectively. Those for the film prepared on the Pt substrate at 950°C were 18 kV/cm and 9 μC/cm2, respectively.
