Pb1-xSrx (Zr0.53Ti0.47) O3 (PSZT) thin films have been fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by a sol–gel method combined with a rapid thermal annealing process. The microstructure analysis of the thin films showed that the orientation ratio of (111) was 0.304,0.475 and 0.849 with x=0, 0.03, 0.08. The dielectric measurement suggested that the addition of Sr in Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47) O3(PZT) thin films greatly improved the dielectric properties of PZT thin films. The dielectric constant for PZT thin films at a frequency of 2 kHz was 648,which was increased to 1239 when 3%at Sr was doped. Meanwhile, the dissipation factor was only increased from 0.02 to 0.03. Three kinds of piezoelectric micro-sensors have been prepared based on PSZT thin films and the sensing sensitivity of 0.017pc/uN, 0.033pc/uN, and 0.011pc/uN were realized as x increased, respectively. It indicated that micro-sensors with PSZT0.03 thin films showed better sensing property than other two.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
