Abstract
SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films with different Sr and Bi concentrations were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by the pulsed laser deposition technique. The structural feature and surface morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and SEM studies. The ferroelectricity was confirmed by polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis loops. The measured value of remanent polarization (2Pr,) of Bi-excess SBT film was 14.3 μC/cm2 with a coercive field (2E c) of 101 kV/cm at the applied voltage of 4 V. The dielectric constant and the ac conductivity of the Pt/SBT/Pt capacitor were investigated in the frequency range of 0.1 Hz-100kHz and the temperature range of 25°C-400°C. From the slope of ac conductivity vs. 1/T plot, the activation energy was calculated to be 0.86 eV at the lowest frequency and high temperature range. Also electrical properties were investigated by current-voltage (I-V) measurements as a function of applied electric fields. To determine the influence of Sr and Bi concentrations on the SBT/Pt junction, the ferroelectric properties and conduction behavior of SBT thin films are discussed.
