Lead zirconate titanate thin films containing 0-4 wt.% of 2CdO·B2O3 glass phase additive have been fabricated by sol-gel processing. Smooth dense perovskite films of approximately 3500Å thickness were formed on Si wafers by a multiple layer spin coating process followed by rapid thermal annealing. Remanent polarizations of up to 23μC/cm2 were measured. Hysteresis properties were found to be very sensitive to annealing time at 700°C, with remanence being maximized at 100-200 seconds.
