Abstract

Lead zirconate-titanate (PZT) thin films were prepared by the laser ablation technique. The PZT (Zr/Ti=53/47) target was irradiated using a focused q-switched Nd:YAG laser (15 ns, 100 mJ at 1.064 μm). The as-deposited films were amorphous as indicated by X-ray powder patterns, but crystallized readily with brief annealing above 650°C. The dielectric constant and the resistivity of the crystallized films were studied using a parallel-plate type capacitor structure.
