ABSTRACT
In this study, we report on the (100) cube-textured Pb(Zr0.4,Ti0.6)O3 (PZT) thin films using a conducting perovskite CaRuO3 (CRO) bottom electrode, and which was compared to the (111) textured PZT on Pt electrode. X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals that the CRO bottom electrode has a pseudo-cubic nature on Si, and the PZT thin films prepared on CRO/Si shows a (100) textured growth. PZT films on CRO electrode have a well-saturated ferroelectricity with a remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of 25 μ C/cm2 and 75 kV/cm, respectively. These PZT films are more fatigue resistive character than that on Pt bottom electrode.
