Abstract

The rapid thermal annealing effects of Sol-Gel derived ferroelectric PZT thin films were investigated. It was found that rapid thermal annealing(RTA) of spin coated thin films on silicon typically >$800^{\circ}C$ for about 1 min. was changed to the perovskite phase. Rapid thermally annealed films recorded maximum remanent polarization of about 5 .mu.C/cm$^{2}$, coercive field of around 30kV/cm. The switching time for polarization reversal was about 220ns. The films of RTA process showed smooth surface, and high breakdown voltages of over 1 MV/cm and resistivity of $1{\times}{10^12}$ .ohm.cm at 1 MV/cm. It was verified that the polarization reversal of the PZT film was varied partially with applying the multiple short pulse.
