The Pb(Zr/sub 0.52/Ti/sub 0.48/)O₃/(Ba/sub 0.6/Sr/sub 0.4/)TiO₃[PZT/BST] heterolayered thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates by using the RF sputtering method with different RF power. The PZT/BST heterolayered thin films had the tetragonal structure of the PZT phase and BST phase. Increasing the RF power. the intensity of the PZT (100), (110) peaks and BST (111) peaks were decreased and the intensity of the BST (100), (110) peaks were increased. The thickness ratio of the top layered BST thin film and the bottom layered PZT thin film was 2 to1. The atomic concentration of the Ba, Sr, Pb. Zr, Ti atoms were constant in the PZT thin films and BST thin films, respectively. The Pt atom was diffused to the PZT region in the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films deposited at condition of 60[W] RF power. Increasing the frequency, dielectric constant and loss of the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films were decreased. The dielectric constant and loss of the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films deposited with RF power of 90[W] were 406 and 3%, respectively.

In this study, PZT thin films were fabricated using sol-gel processing onto Si/$SiO_2$/Ti/Pt substrates. PZT sol with different Zr/Ti ratio(20/80, 30/70, 40/60, 52/48) were prepared, respectively. The films were fabricated by using the spin-coating method on substrates. The films were heat treated at $450^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$ by rapid thermal annealing(RTA). The preferred orientation of the PZT thin films were observed by X-ray diffraction(XRD), and Scanning electron microscopy(SEM). All of the resulting PZT thin films were crystallized with perovskite phase. The fine crystallinity of the films were fabricated. Also, we found that the ferroelectric properties from the dielectric constant of the PZT thin films were over 600 degrees, P-E hysteresis constant. And the leakage current densities of films were lower than $10^{-8}A/cm^2$. It is concluded that the PZT thin films by sol-gel process to be convinced of application for ferroelectric memory device.

The effects of deposition temperature and post annealing process of ferroelectric PbZr$\sub$0.52/Ti$\sub$0.48/O$_3$(PZT) thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were investigated. The PZT thin films were deposited at 400, 450, 500, and 550$^{\circ}C$, with/without post annealing at 650$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The PZT thin films deposited above 500$^{\circ}C$ without post annealing were crystallized into peroveskite phase, but the PZT thin films deposited below 450$^{\circ}C$ had pyrochlore phase. The PZT thin films deposited below 450$^{\circ}C$ with post annealing also crystallized into pure perovskite. Compared to the PZT thin films which were deposited at 450$^{\circ}C$ and post annealed, the films deposited at 550$^{\circ}C$ have a columnar microstructure and high remnant polarization 28 (${\mu}$C/cm$^2$). With in-situ annealing at oxygen ambient, the PZT thin films reduced oxygen vacancies and increased retained polarization.

Pb(Zr$\sub$0.52/Ti$\sub$0.48/)O$_3$(PZT) thin films have been prepared by rf-magnetron sputtering methods and investigated the structural and electrical properties. In order to investigate the effects of sputtering conditions, input power was controlled during deposition. Crystallization process and microstructure of PZT thin films were largely affected by input power. Highly crystallized PZT films with the perovskite structure were successfully obtained on Pt/Ti bottom electrode. The dielectric constants and polarization of PZT thin films were increased with increasing input power, and the coercive electric field was decreased with increasing input power . The dielectric constant of PZT thin films with input power 150 W was 966 at 1 kHz. we, authors, proposed that preferred orientation of PZT thin films were controlled by input power in sputtering methods.

To improve the performance of the PZT thin flms, each PZT and PT layer was alternately deposited on a Pt/Ti/Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si substrate by a modified sol-gel solid precursor technique. For comparison, PZT thin films were also prepared with an identical method under the same conditions. XRD measurement revealed that the diffraction pattern of the multilayer film was due to the superimposition of the PZT and PT patterns. At 1㎑, a dielectric constant of 389 and 558, a dielectric loss of 1.2% and 1.1% were obtained for the PZT/PT and PZT thin films, respectively. If we consider the PT dielectric constant to be 260, it is clear that the dielectric constant of alternately deposited PZT/PT thin films was well adjusted. The PZT/PT thin film showed a low dielectric constant and a similar dielectric loss compared with those of the PZT film. The figures of merit on detectivity for the PZT/PT and PZT thin films were 20.3$\times$10$\^$-6/㎩$\^$-$\sfrac{1}{2}$/, and 18.7$\times$10$\^$-6/㎩$\^$-$\sfrac{1}{2}$/, and the figures of merit on voltage response were 0.038㎡/C and 0.028 ㎡/C, respectively. The high figures of merit for the PZT/PT film were ascribed to its relatively low dielectric constant when compared to the PZT thin films.

Effects of excess Pb(50 mole ％) on the crystallization properties of amorphous PZT thin films on the glass substrates by post-annealing in oxygen ambient were investigated to lower the crystallization temperature of the PZT thin films with a single perovskite phase. The PZT thin films(350nm) were prepared on Pt/Ti/corning glass(1737) substrates. The PZT thin films and bottom electrode were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. Crystallization properties of PZT thin films were strongly dependent on RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) temperature. We were able to obtain a perovskite structure of PZT at 600$^{\circ}C$ for 10min. After thermal treatments were done, electrical properties such as I-V, P-E, and fatigue were measured.

The planar type flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH) based on PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) thin films on the flexible substrates are demonstrated to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. The planar type energy harvesters have been realized, which have an electrode pair on the PZT thin films. The PZT thin films were deposited on double side polished sapphire substrates using conventional RF-magnetron sputtering. The PZT thin films on the sapphire substrates were transferred by PDMS stamp with laser lift-off (LLO) process. KrF excimer laser (wavelength: 248nm) were used for the LLO process. The PDMS stamp was attached to the top of the PZT thin films and the excimer laser induced onto back side of the sapphire substrate to detach the thin films. The detached thin films on the PDMS stamp transferred to adhesive layer coated on the flexible polyimide substrate. Structural properties of the PZT thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To measure piezoelectric power generation characteristics, Au/Cr inter digital electrode (IDE) was formed on the PZT thin films using the e-beam evaporation. The ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were measured by a ferroelectric test system (Precision Premier-II) and piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM), respectively. The output signals of the flexible PEHs were evaluated by electrometer (6517A, Keithley). In the result, the transferred PZT thin films showed the ferroelectric and piezoelectric characteristics without electrical degradation and the fabricated flexible PEHs generated an AC-type output power electrical energy during periodically bending and releasing motion. We expect that the flexible PEHs based on laser transferred PZT thin film is able to be applied on self-powered electronic devices in wireless sensor networks technologies. Also, it has a lot of potential for high performance flexible piezoelectric energy harvester.
