Abstract

Non-c-axis-oriented ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) epitaxial thin films with (103) orientation have been grown by pulsed laser deposition on buffered Si(100) substrates. For the buffer layers, a heterostructure consisting of MgO(111)/YSZ(100)/Si(100) was applied to induce the growth of a (111)-oriented SrRuO3 (SRO) bottom electrode. X-ray diffraction θ-2θ and φ scans revealed well-defined orientation relationships, viz. SBT(103)||SRO(111)||MgO(111)||YSZ(100)||Si(100); SBT[010]||SRO[011]||MgO[011]||YSZ〈001〉||Si〈001〉. The ferroelectric measurements of the (103)-oriented SBT films showed a remanent polarization (Pr) of 5.2 μC/cm2 and a coercive field (El) of 76 kV/cm for a maximum applied electric field of 440 kV/cm.
