Abstract
Paraelectric [Pb, La]TiO3 (PLT, La = 28 mol%) thin films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering using a multi-element metal target. In order to crystallize the as-deposited PLT thin films into the cubic perovskite structure, a heat treatment was applied at annealing temperatures ranging between 450 and 750°C. The electrical measurements such as dielectric properties, polarization-electric field (P-E), and current-voltage (I–V) were investigated with the change of annealing temperature. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor of paraelectric PLT film annealed at 750°C were 1216 and 0.018, respectively. The charge storage density was approximately 12.5 μC/cm2. The leakage current density in PLT film annealed at 650°C was around 0.1 μA/cm2 at the electric field of 0.25 MV/cm.
