Abstract

The PLT thin films on (100) cleaved MgO single crystal substrate have been fabricated by rf magnetron sputtering using a PbO-rich target. The dependence of physical and electrical properties on the degree of c-axis orientation has been studied. The degree of c-axis orientation of PLT thin films depends on fabrication conditions. Fabrication conditions of the PLT thin films were such that substrate temperature, working pressure, gas ratio of $Ar/O_{2}$, and rf power density were $640^{\circ}C$, 10 mTorr, 10 seem, and $1.7\;W/cm^{2}$, respectively. In these conditions, the PLT thin film showed the Pb/Ti ratio of 1/2 at the surface, the resistivity of $8{\times}10^{11}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, and dielectric constant of 110. The pyroelectric infrared sensors with these PLT thin films showed the peak to peak voltage of 450 m V and signal to noise ratio of 7.2.

Pb과잉인 PLT 타겟을 이용하여 MgO(100) 단결정 기판위에 고주파 마그네트론 스펏터링법으로 PLT박막을 제조하였으며, c-축 배향에 따른 물리적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. PLT박막의 c-축 배향성은 제조조건에 따라 변화하며, 본 연구에서의 제조조건은 기판온도가 $640^{\circ}C$, 분위기압이 10 mTorr, $Ar/O_{2}$비가 10 및 고주파 전력밀도가 $1.7 W/cm^{2}$이었다. 이러한 조건에서 제조된 PLT 박막은 표면에서의 Pb/Ti 비가 1/2, 저항률이 $8{\times}10^{11}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 및 비유전률이 110 이었다. PLT박막을 이용하여 초전형 적외선 센서를 제조하였으며, 제조된 적외선 센서의 피크 대 피크 전압은 450 mV, 신호대 잡음비는 7.2 였다.
