The crystallization process and microstructural evolution of PZT (52/48)thin films deposited on Pt thin film electrode on Si (100) by reactivemultitarget cosputtering technique have been studied as a function ofpost-annealing temperature and holding time. As annealing temperatureincreases, the Amorphous PZT films as-deposited at low substrate temperatureof 200 °C crystallize into pyrochlore at 450 °C and ferroelectric perovskitephase with pseudo-cubic structure at 550 °C in sequence. X-ray diffractiondata show crystallization into perovskite phase to be complete in 30 Minutesat 550 °C. Furthermore, the change of PZT/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Siinterfacial TEM Morphology during heat-treatment has been closelyscrutinized.
