The piezoelectric material for piezoelectric transformer needs the high electromechanical coupling factor( $k_{p}$) the piezoelectric constant( $d_{33}$) and the mechanical quality factor( $Q_{m}$)in order to obtain high voltage step-up ratio and low temperature rising. In this study the piezoelectric transformers were fabricated using Pb［$Zr_{0.45}$/ $Ti_{0}$48//L $u_{0.02}$(M $n_{1}$3//S $b_{2}$3/)$_{0.05}$］ $O_3$(PMS-PZT) and Pb［Z $r_{0.25}$/ $Ti_{0.375}$(M $g_{1}$3//N $b_{2}$3/)$_{0.375}$］ $O_3$+0.5wt%Mn $O_2$(PMN-PZT) ceramics. The piezoelectric properties of PMS-PZT and PMN-PZT were measured. The voltage set-up ratios of the piezoelectric transformers using PMS-PZT and PMN-PZT were the value of 15, 20 respectively under 100$_{KΩ}$ in Rosen type transformer.r.ormer.r.r.r.r.r.r.

ECR-PECVD법을 사용하여 450-49$0^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서 Pt/SiO$_{2}$/Si기판 위에 PZT 박막을 증착하였다. 기판 온도가 46$0^{\circ}C$ 이하일 경우에는 페로브스이트 상과 제2상으로 이루어진 박막이 성장하였으며 기판온도가 47$0^{\circ}C$이상일 때에는 페로브스카이트 단일상의 PZT 박막이 성장하였다. 49$0^{\circ}C$에서 매우 얇은 페로브스카이트의 PZT 박막을 증착한 후 $650^{\circ}C$에서 1분간 raped thermal annealing(RTA) 처리한 결과 박막의 조성과 결정성에는 거의 변화가 없었으나 박막의 전하 저장 밀도는 크게 향상되었다. 이는 RTA 처리에 의한 저유전 계면층의 소멸이 주된 이유라고 판단된다. 열처리 후 두께 40-45nm의 PZT박막은 200kV/cm의 전장 하에서 $10^{-6}$$\textrm{cm}^2$이하의 누설전류값을 갖고 있었으며, 인가전압 1V에서 300fF/$\mu$$m^2$의 정전용량, 즉 SiO$_{2}$환산두께 0.12nm를 나타내었다.

$Pb_{0.99}[(Zr_{0.6}Sn_{0.4})_{0.9}Ti_{0.1}]_{0.98}Nb_{0.02}O_3$ (PNZST) thin films were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on a $(La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})CoO_3$ (LSCO)/Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate using a PNZST target with an excess PbO of 10 mole%. The thin films deposited at the substrate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ crystallized to a perovskite phase after rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The thin films, which annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 10 seconds in air, exhibited good crystal structures and ferroelectric properties. The remanent polarization and coercive field of the fabricated PNZST capacitor were approximately $20uC/cm^2$ and 50 kV/cm, respectively. The reduction of the polarization after $2.2\;{\times}\;10^9$ switching cycles was less than 10%.

The currently used semiconductor pressure sensors are piezoresistive and capacitive type. Especially, semiconductor micro pressure sensors have a great deal of attention because of their small size. However, its fabrication processes are difficult, so that its yield is poor. For the purpose of resolving the drawbacks of the existing silicon pressure sensors, we demonstrate a new type of pressure sensor using PSFET(pressure sensitive field effect transistor) and investigate its operational characteristics. We used PZT(Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$) as a pressure sensing material. PZT thin films were deposited on a gate oxide of MOSFET by an rf-magnetron sputtering method. To abtain the stable phase, perovskite structure, furnace annealing technique have been employed in PbO ambient. The sensitivity of the PSFET was 0.38 mV/mmHg.

The PZT based piezoelectric thick films prepared by screen printing method have been mainly used as a functional material for MEMS applications due to their compatibility of MEMS process. However the screen printed thick films generally reveal poor electrical and mechanical properties because of their porous microstructure. To improve microstructure we mixed attrition milled powder with ball milled powder of 0.01Pb$(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3$-0.41Pb$(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$-$0.35PbTiO_3$-$0.23PbZrO_3$+0.1 wt% ${Y_2}{O_3}$+1.5 wt% ZnO composition. By mixing 25 % of attrition milled powder and 75 % of ball milled powder, the broadest particle size distribution was obtained, leading to a dense thick film with crack-free microstructure and improved dielectric properties. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the film was in wellcrystallized perovskite phase. The remanent polarization was increased from $13.7{\mu}C/cm^2$ to $23.3{\mu}C/cm^2$ at the addition of 25 % attrition milled powder.

Highly (111)-oriented PZT [Pb(Zrl-xTix)O3] thin films in the Zr-rich rhombohedral phase-field were successfully fabricated on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by combining PLD method with sol-gel process. These highly (111)-oriented films can be used as model systems for polarized Raman scattering study of PZT in the rhombohedral-Phase field because the (111)-direction is the principal off-center axis of the rhombohedral ferroelectricity. For this purpose, we have fabricated PZT films employing two distinctive compositions : one with Zr/Ti = 90/10 (abbreviated as PZT90/10) and the other with Zr/Ti= 60/40 (PZT60/40). The PZT90/10 film belongs to the octahedrally distorted FR(LT) phase with a cell-doubled structure, whereas the PZT60/40 is in the high-temperature FR(HT) phase-field at room temperature. To clearly separate E(TO) phonon modes from Al(TO) modes of the (111)-oriented rhombohedral film, we have suitably devised Z(X,Y)Z and Z(X,X)Z backscattering geometries for E(TO) and Al (TO), respectively. The polarized scattering experiment demonstrated that both types of (111)-oriented rhombohedral films closely followed the Raman selection rule.

Recently, low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology is widely used in sensors, actuators and microsystem fields because of its very good electrical and mechanical properties, high stability as well as possibility of making 3D micro structures. In this study, we investigated the effects of on $O_2$ annealing treatment on the electrical properties of Pb(ZrTi)$O_3$ (PZT) thin films deposited on LTCC substrate. The LTCC substrates with thickness of $400\;{\mu}m$ were fabricated by laminating 4 green tapes which consist of alumina and glass particle in an organic binder. The PZT thin films were deposited on Au / LTCC substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method. The change of the crystallization of the films were investigated under various atmosphere. The structural variation of the films were analyzed by using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).

High quality PZT piezoelectric thin films were sputter- deposited on$ RuO_2$/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by using 2-step deposition method. As the first step, PZT seed layers were fabricated at a low temperature($475^{\circ}C$ ) to form a pure perovskite phase by reducing the volatility of Pb oxide. and then, as the second step, the PZT films were deposited at high temperatures ($530^{\circ}C$~$570^{\circ}C$) to reduce the defect density in the films. By this method, the pure perovskite phase was obtained at high deposition temperature range ($530^{\circ}C$~$570^{\circ}C$) and the superior electrical properties of PZT films were obtained on $RuO_2$substrate : 2Pr : 60$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, $E_c: 60kV/cm, \;J_t: 10^{-6}A/cm^2\; at\; 250kV/cm$. The residual stress of PZT films fabricated by the 2-step deposition method was tensile and below 150MPa. It was attempted to control the residual stress in the PZT films by applying a negative bias to the substrate. As the amplitude of the substrate bias was increased, the residual tensile stress was slightly decreased, however, the ferroelectric properties of PZT films were degraded by ion bombardment.
