Abstract

Sol-gel derived PZT films were successfully prepared from precursor solutions based on lead acetate and Zr/Ti alkoxides. A pyrochlore phase was observed in films fired at low temperatures, while single-phase perovskite films were obtained at temperatures above 725C. The dielectric constant increased to above 1000 when there was a higher proportion of perovskite than pyrochlore. The films were essentially fatigue-free up to 108 cycles and exhibited a low aging rate of 5.7% / decade-sec.
