Abstract

Sol-Gel derived Pb0.85La0.15TiO3 PLT15) thin films were deposited on solution derived RuO2/Si, RuO2/Pt/Si and Pt bottom electrodes. Dielectric, tangent loss, hysteresis, J-E, measurements were also carried out on these films. X-ray results established the single phase perovskite formation with no secondary phases of PLT15 thin film on these electrodes. PLT15 thin films on RuO2 bottom electrode showed relatively inferior ferroelectric and dielectric behavior as compared to Pt electrode. Low leakage currents (10-8 A/cm2 at 10 kV/cm) and the observed J-E characteristics have been attributed to poor film-electrode interface. Observed electrical and dielectric properties have been correlated with the film-electrode interface. The interface characteristics were further augmented by depth profile analysis using Auger Electron Spectroscopy.
