Abstract

Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 thick films embedded with ZnO nanoneedles (PZT-ZnOn) were successfully prepared on Pt/Cr/SiO2/Si substrates by the hybrid sol-gel method via spin-coating ZnOn suspension and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) sol. To control the orientation of the films, a PbTiO3 (PT) layer was first deposited as a seed layer. Effects of annealing method and ZnOn contents on the corresponding orientation and crystallization of PZT-ZnO n films were investigated by XRD and SEM. The results show that all the PZT-ZnOn composite thick films have pure perovskite structure and high-quality film surface. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the PZT-ZnOn films are close to the PZT films, and have a little decrease with the increasing of the ZnOn contents.
