Abstract
This paper gives characterization of substrate and PZT(53/47) thin film deposited by metalorganic decomposition, which is concerned in deposition process and device fabrication process, to fabricate micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) device with piezoelectric material. The PZT thin films deposited by MOD at 700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes had a polycrystallinity, that is, no substrate dependence, while different interface were developed depending on the bottom electrodes. Such a structural variation could influence on not only the properties of the PZT film but also etching process for fabricating MEMS devices. Therefore the electrode structure is a very important factor in the deposition of the PZT film during etching process by HF acid for MEMS device with piezoelectric material. Piezoelectric coefficients of the PZT films on the different substrates were 40 and 80 pm/V at an applied voltage of 4V. Based in these results, it was possible for deposition of the PZT film by MOD to apply MEMS device fabrication process based on piezoelectricity after selection of proper bottom electrode.
