Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃(denoted as PZT) in the perovskite phase is used as a dielectric, piezoelectric, and super appetizer material owing to its ferroelectric properties. A PZT film was formed by an RF magnetron sputtering process by preparing a target composed of Pb_1.3(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃. The PZT film was formed by dividing the material into a mono-layer PZT produced continuously with the same sputtering power and a bi-layer PZT produced with two-stage sputtering power. The bi-layer PZT consisted of a lower layer produced under low-power sputtering conditions and an upper layer produced under the same conditions as the mono-layer PZT. XRD revealed small amounts of pyrochlore phase in the mono-layer PZT, but only the perovskite phase was detected in the bi-layer PZT. SEM and AFM revealed the upper part of the bi-layer PZT to be more compact and smooth. Moreover, the bi-layered PZT showed superior symmetry polarization and a significantly reduced leakage current of less than 1×10-5 A/cm². This phenomenon observed in bi-layer PZT was attributed to the induction of growth into a pure perovskite phase by suppressing the formation of a pyrochlore phase in the upper PZT layer where the densely formed lower PZT layer was produced sequentially.

$Pb_1(Zr_x,\;Ti_{1-x})O_3$ (PZT)는 강유전체 기억소자(FRAM)와 초고감도 압전센서 등 다방면의 활용성으로 인해 신뢰성 높은 박막을 제조하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF-magnetron Sputtering System을 이용하여 mono-layer PZT박막과 Bi-layer PZT박막을 제조하여 각 sample의 전기적 특성을 비교 하였으며, 그 결과 Bi-layer PZT박막이 더 우수한 전기적 특성을 확인하였다.
