Seeding Effects on Phase Transformation in Diol-Based Sol-Gel Derived PZT Film

졸-겔 공정에 의해 Diol을 기반으로 제조된 PZT막 상전이에 대한 종자 영향

PZT(53/47) precursor 1M sols were prepared using a diol based Sol-Gel process, and thin films were deposited by spin coating onto Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates. With a single coating, final film thickness of aproximately 0.9${\mu}m $ was achieved from diol-based PZT sol. Since PZT crystallized in a ferroelectric perovskite phase from an intermediate nonferroelectric pyrochlore phase, the effects of the presence of perovskite PZT seeds on the phase transformation of PZT were investigated. Seeded PZT films were prepared from the seeded PZT 1M sols in which seeds with less than 0.2${\mu}m $ in size and 1wt% were dispersed in n-propanol before mixing with the PZT stock solution. The seeding effects were confirmed by the fact that the formation temperature of perovskite phase decreased by 50$^{\circ}C$ with less than 1wt% seeds.

diol을 기반으로 하는 Sol-Gel 방법으로 PZT (53/47) 1M sol 용액을 만들어 회전 코팅법으로 Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si 기판위에 코팅하였고 한번 코팅으로 최대 0.9${\mu}m $의 PZT막을 얻었다. PZT는 비강유전성 pyrochlore상을 거쳐 강유전성 perovskite상으로 전이하며 따라서 PZT perovskite seed가 상전이에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 0.2${\mu}m $ 이하의 크기를 갖는 1wt% PZT분말을 propanol용액에 분산시켜 PZT sol 용액에 도입하여 seeded PZT 막을 제조하였다. Seeded PZT막을 열처리한 결과 perovskite상의 생성이 촉진되어 상전이 온도가 50$^{\circ}C$정도 낮아졌다.
