Abstract
Ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films were synthesized by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on platinized silicon substrates held at different substrate temperatures, from targets with different compositions. It was necessary to anneal films deposited at low temperature (525°C) at elevated temperatures in an oxygen atmosphere in order to achieve properties comparable to SBT thin films grown by the sol-gel technique. Polarization - electric field hysteresis loops showed saturation in the 2-5 V range with a remnant polarization 2Pr = 8-13 μC/cm2. Capacitors showed negligible fatigue up to 1010 switching cycles.
