Inorganic ferroelectrics which have low tensile strength and poor ductility are difficult to be bent. In this paper, in order to realize great toughness, the inorganic ferroelectric film was deposited on flexible muscovite (Mica) substrate. For efficiency and convenience, sol-gel method is adopted to fabricate the Bi 3.15 Nd 0.85 Ti 3 O 12 (BNT) thin-film capacitor on flexible Mica substrate with SrRuO 3 (SRO) electrode layer. The remnant polarization of the Pt/BNT/SRO/CFO/Mica capacitor achieves ∼38 μC cm −2 , which is larger than most BNT films prepared on hard substrates. No obvious fatigue phenomenon is observed for the BNT capacitor with 10 10 switching cycles. The most important is that the Pt/BNT/SRO/CFO/Mica capacitor still owns relatively stable electrical properties when it is bent to 5 mm radius, showing an excellent bending performance for this structure. The flexible, anti-fatigue ferroelectric capacitor prepared in this paper is expected to get a wide range of application in flexible logic and elements for information storage, data processing and communication.
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.
