Abstract

The fabricated La-modified lead titanate (PLT) thin flim without paling treatment was investigated for modulation frequency dependence of pyroelectric properties by the dynamic method. $Pb_{1-x}La_{x}Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$ PLT (x=0.1) thin film having 10 mol% La content was deposited on a $Pt/TiO_{x}/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrate by sol-gel method. The PLT(10) thin film exhibits a relatively excellent dielectric property. The pyroelectric coefficient (p) of the PLT(10) thin film is $6.6{\times}10^{-9}C/cm_{2}\cdot K$ without frequency dependence. The figure of merits for the voltage responsivity and specific detectivity are $1.03{\times}10^{-11}C\cdot cm/J$ and $1.46\times 10^{-9}C\cdot cm/J$, respectively. The PLT(10) thin film has voltage responsivity (Rv) of 5.15 V/W at 8 Hz. Noise equivalent power (NEP) and specific detectivity (D*) of the PLT(10) thin film are$9.93{\times}10^{-8}W/Hz^{1/2}$ and $1.81\times 10^{6}cmHz^{1/2}/W$ at the same frequency of 100 Hz, respectively. The results means that PLT thin film having 10 mol % La content is suitable for the sensing materials of pyroelectric IR sensors.
