We prepared the PLT(28) thin film by using sol-gel method and investigated the structure and electrical properties of the film. With the XRD and AFM analyses, it is found that PLT(28) thin film annealed at 6sot has a complete perovskite structure and its surface roughness is about 22$\AA$. We prepared PLT(28) thin film on the Pt/TiO$_{x}$SiO$_2$/Si substrate, in which the specimen has a planar capacitor structure, and analyzed the electrical properties of PLT(28) thin film. In result, PLT(28) thin film has a paraelectric phase and its dielectric constant and loss tangent at 10kHz are 761 and 0.024, respectively. Also, the storage charge density and leakage current density of PLT(28) thin film at W are 134fC/$\mu$m2 and 1.01 $\mu$A/cm2, respectively. As a result of this, we concluded that the PLT(28) thin film is a promising material to be used as a capacitor dielectrics for next generation DRAM.M.

Modulation frequency dependences of the pyroelectric properties of PLT (P $b_{1-x}$ L $a_{x}$ $Ti_{1-x}$ 4/ $O_3$) thin films with La concentrations of 5, 10 and 15㏖% have been investigated by using the dynamic method. The PLT thin film with 10㏖% of the La concentration (PLT(10) thin film) shows the most excellent pyroelectric properties among the films. For PLT(10) thin film, the pyroelectric coefficient shows the maximum value of 6.6$\times$10$^{-9}$ C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ㆍK without frequency dependence. The figure of merits for the voltage responsivity and specific detectivity are 1.03$\times$10$^{-11}$ Cㆍcm/J and 1.46$\times$10$^{-9}$ Cㆍcm/J, respectively. Voltage responsivity corresponding to the pyroelectric voltage is almost constant at low modulation frequency and decreases in proportional to frequency at high modulation frequency. Voltage responsivity is 5.15 V/W at 8Hz. Noise equivalent power (NEP) and specific detectivity ( $D^{*}$) of the PLT(10) thin film are 9.93$\times$10$^{-8}$ W/H $z^{1}$2/ and 1.81$\times$10$^{6}$ cmH $z^{1}$2/W at the frequency of 100Hz, respectively. The results indicate that PLT(10) thin film is very suitable for pyroelectric IR sensors.s.s.

We fabricated the $Pb_{0.72}La_{0.28}TiO_3$ (PLT(28)) thin film successfully by using the sol-gel method and characterized it to evaluate its potential for being utilized as the capacitor dielectrics of ULSI DRAMs. In our sol-gel process, the acetates were used as the starting materials. Through the TGA-DTA analysis, we established the excellent fabrication conditions of the sol-gel method for the PLT(28) thin film. We obtained the dense and crack-free PLT(28) thin film of $100\%$ perovskite phase by drying at $350^{\circ}C$ after each coating and final annealing at $650^{\circ}C$. Electrical properties of PLT(28) thin film were measured through formation on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate and its dielectric constant and leakage current density were measured as 936 and $1.1{\mu}A/cm^2$, respectively.

Its electrical properties were measured from the planar capacitors fabricated on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrate. By the P-E hysteresis measurement, its paraelectric phase was identified and its dielectric constant and leakage current density were measured as 936 and 1.1${\mu}A/cm^{2}$, respectively. Those electrical values indicate that the PLT(28) thin film is the most successful candidate for the capacitor dielectrics of ULSI DRAMs at the present.

We fabricated the ceramic PLT tablet which was composed of 5, 10 and 15 mol% lanthanum concentration and thin film PLT to develope pyroelectric materials, and investigated their characteristics. Using TG/DTA, we determined calcination and sintering temperature to sinter the PLT completely and to prevent volatilization of the Pb components. The calcination and sintering temperature were $850^{\circ}C$, $1150^{\circ}C$ respectively, and there was a lot of mass loss at higher sintering temperature. By measuring temperature-dielectric constant characteristics of ceramic tablet we investigated dielectric constant characteristics depends on La concentration. The Curie point of PLT with 5, 10 and 15 mol% lanthanum concentration were $330^{\circ}C$, $269^{\circ}C$ and $210^{\circ}C$ respectively. Using PLT ceramic tablet we observed IR detection characteristics, and then deposited PLT thin film by rf magnetron sputtering. We verified that PLT thin film fabricated with completely sintered PLT target had the same structure to target by investigating lattice constant and optical transparency.

We have measured the optical properties, thickness, and energy band gap of the P $b_{1-x}$/100/L $a_{x}$100/ $Ti_{1-}$0.25x/100/ $O_{3}$ (PLT(x)) thin film prepared by the sol-gel method with varying the La concentration, x, fyom 15 nto 33 mol%. We have obtained the values from the tranmission spectrum and employed the envelope method in anayzing the spectrum. We have also performed the simulation of the transmission spectrum on the PC (personal computer) to verify the accuracy of the values 15 to 33mol%, the refractive index (at .lambda.=632.8nm) increases from 2.39 to 2.44. The extinction coefficient does not depend on the la concentration but mainly on te wavelength, and has the values between 0.2 and 0.5 at the wavelength shorter than 330nm and between 0.001 and 0.008 at the wavelength longer than 700nm. The energy band gap of the PLT (x) thin film has been obtained on the assumption of the direct band-to-band transition. It decreases from 3.28 to 3.17eV as the La concentration increases from 15 to 33 mol%. The thickness of the PLT(x) thin film has been also obtained in high accuracy by the envelope method..
