Abstract

PbBi4Ti4O15 (PBT) and Pb2Bi4Ti5O18 (P2BT) thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by solgel method, and their ferroelectric properties were investigated. Two processes were examined for the preparation of PBT thin films. In the process which used Bi-acetate as a starting material, the single PBT phase thin films could be obtained by inserting a Bi-rich buffer layer between the Pt electrode and the PBT film. In the other process which used Bi-Ti complex alkoxide, the PBT single phase was obtained without the buffer layer. P2BT thin films prepared by the latter process showed about two times larger remnant polarization (2Pr) values of 12μC/cm2 compared with 2Pr=7μC/cm2 for the PBT thin film, coinciding with the tendency reported for single crystals. Both the PBT and P2BT thin films showed good fatigue endurance up to 1×109 switching cycles.
