“…4,8,11,17,27 Furthermore, AlN films deposited on (111)-Pt covered substrates exhibit the highest piezoelectric coefficients compared to films grown on other materials. 7 Conventionally, Pt is sputter deposited at approximately 300 • C with subsequent annealing completed at 550 • C in order to ensure a high (111) texture quality. 2,4,9 Since such process conditions are well above the temperature limits of this investigation, no heat treatment was applied to Pt during or after deposition.…”
