Abstract

We firstly report the successful deposition of highly oriented Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) ferroelectric thin films on diamond substrates by a simple sol-gel process. The PZT thin films exhibited good surface morphological, structural and electrical characteristics. The electrical measurements were conducted on PZT films in metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitor configuration. The typical remanent polarization and coercive electric field values were 5.1 μC/cm2 and 70.0 kV/cm, respectively, at an applied electric field of 300 kV/cm. The low leakage current of 10-8 A/cm2 was found at an applied electric field of 120 kV/cm.
