In this paper, the preparation of lead zirconium titanate(PZT) thin film by sol-gel processing was descried. Thin film coated with thickness of 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ on the stainless steel substrates using the multiple spin-coating process. The crystalline phases of PZT powder and film were investigated by X-ray diffraction pattern and PZT thin film has perovskite structure over 600 C annealing temperature. Corona charging characteristics of the ferroelectric PZT thin film at 600 C were investigated by electrophotographic measurement. A difference in the charging characteristics between positive and negative corona charging was found. The charge acceptance depended in the polarity of corona and the poling of film. According to the D-E hysteresis measurment, PZT thin film can be poled by corona charging without use of top electrode. The remnant polarization in the PZT thin film is generally in the order of 48$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$. From this results, the ferroelectric PZT thin film will be possible to apply for the add-on type imaging formation.

The properties of ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) organic ferroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of the poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] were investigated to find possible applicability in flexible and wearable electronics applications. In the C-V characteristics of the MFM capacitor of 2-monolayer of 5 nm films, a butterfly hysteresis curve due to the ferroelectricity of P(VDF-TrFE) was confirmed. Typical residual polarization value was measured at 2μC/㎠. When the MFM capacitor with ultra-thin ferroelectric film was measured by applying a 10 Hz bipolar pulse, it was shown that 65% of the initial polarization value in 105 cycles deteriorated the polarization. The leakage current density of the 2-monolayer film was maintained at about 5 × 10-8 A/㎠ for the case at a 5MV/cm electric field. The resistivity of the 2-monolayer film in the case at an electric field at 5 MV/cm was more than 2.35 × 1013 Ω·cm.

The perovskite ferroelectric materials of the PZT, SBT and BST series will attract much attention for application to ULSI devices. Among these materials, the BST ($Ba_0.6$$Sr_0.4$/$TiO_3$) is widely considered the most promising for use as an insulator in the capacitors of DRAMS beyond 1 Gbit and high density FRAMS. Especially, BST thin films have a good thermal-chemical stability, insulating effect and variety of Phases. However, BST thin films have problems of the aging effect and mismatch between the BST thin film and electrode. Also, due to the high defect density and surface roughness at grain boundarys and in the grains, which degrades the device performances. In order to overcome these weakness, we first applied the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to the polishing of ferroelectric film in order to obtain a good planarity of electrode/ferroelectric film interface. BST ferroelectric film was fabricated by the sol-gel method. And then, we compared the surface characteristics before and after CMP process of BST films. We expect that our results will be useful promise of global planarization for FRAM application in the near future.

Energy harvesting technologies converting external sources (such as thermal energy, vibration and mechanical energy from the nature sources of wind, waves or animal movements) into electrical energy is recently a highly demanding issue in the materials science community for making sustainable green environments. In particular, fabrication of usable nanogenerator attract the attention of many researchers because it can scavenge even the biomechanical energy inside the human body (such as heart beat, blood flow, muscle stretching, or eye blinking) by converging harvesting technology with implantable bio-devices. Herein, we describe procedure suitable for generating and printing a lead-free microstructured $BaTiO_3$ thin film nanogenerator on plastic substrates to overcome limitations appeared in conventional flexible ferroelectric devices. Flexible $BaTiO_3$ thin film nanogenerator was fabricated and the piezoelectric properties and mechanically stability of ferroelectric devices were characterized. From the results, we demonstrate the highly efficient and stable performance of $BaTiO_3$ thin film nanogenerator and the integration of bio-eco-compatible ferroelectric materials may enable innovative opportunities for artificial skin and energy harvesting system.

The effect of excess Bi contents on the ferroelectric properties of B $i_{3.25}$ L $a_{0.75}$ $Ti_3$ $O_{12}$ (BLT) thin films has been investigated. Bismuth lanthanum titanate thin films with excess Bi contents were prepared onto Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$/Si substrate by metalorganic decomposition (MOD) technique. The structure and morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, BLT thin films show polycrystalline structure and the layered-perovskite phase was obtained over 10% excess of Bi contents. As a result of ferroelectric characteristics related to the Bi content of the BLT thin film, the remanent polarization and dielectric constant decreased with increasing over Bi content of 10% excess. The BLT film with Bi content of 10% excess was measured to have a dielectric constant of 326 and dielectric loss of 0.024. The BLT thin films showed little polarization fatigue test up to 3.5$\times$10$^{9}$ bipolar switching cycling.

The author demonstrated organic ferroelectric thin-film transistors with ferroelectric materials of P(VDF-TrFE) and an amorphous oxide semiconducting In-Ga-Zn-O channel on the silicon substrates. The organic ferroelectric layers were deposited on an oxide semiconductor layer by Langmuir-Blodgett method and then annealed at 128℃ for 30min. The carrier mobility and current on/off ratio of the memory transistors showed 9 ㎠V^-1s^-1 and 6 orders of magnitude, respectively. We can conclude from the obtained results that proposed memory transistors were quite suitable to realize flexible and werable electronic applications.

Dysprosium-doped bismuth titanate (BDT) thin films were successfully deposited on Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates by liquid delivery MOCVD process and their structural and ferroelectric properties were characterized. Fabricated BDT thin films were found to be random orientations, which were confirmed by X-ray diffraction experiment and scanning electron microscope analysis. The crystallinity of the BDT films was improved and the average grain size increased as the crystallization temperature increased from 600 to $720^{\circ}C$ at an interval of $40^{\circ}C$. The BDT thin film annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ showed a large remanent polarization (2Pr) of $52.27\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. The BDT thin film exhibits a good fatigue resistance up to $1.0{\times}10^{11}$ switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz with applied pulse of ${\pm}5\;V$. These results indicate that the randomly oriented BDT thin film is a promising candidate among ferroelectric materials useti비 in lead-free nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory applications.

본 연구에서는 박막트랜지스터의 특성 향상을 위하여 강유전성 박막을 게이트 절연층으로 사용하기 위하여 강유전성 박막과 a-Si:H의 계면특성을 조사하였다. 먼저 강유전성 박막 중에 대표적인 SrTiO$_3$를 I-BEAM 증착기로 박막을 형성시켰다. 형성된 박막은 N2 분위기에서 $150^{\circ}C∼600^{\circ}C$로 1시간 ANNEALING하여 전자현미경으로 표면을 측정하였다. SrTiO$_3$의 유전상수는 50∼100 정도였으며 항복전계는 1∼l.5 MV/cm로 매우 우수한 유전특성을 갖고 있었다. 강유전체 박막 위에 a-SiN:H,a-Si:H(n-type a-Si:H) 등을 PECVD로 증착하여 MFNS구조를 형성하였다. 계면특성을 C-V PLOTTER로 측정한 결과 SrTiO$_3$ 박막은 SiN과의 접합이 매우 안정되어 있었고 C-V특성은 SiN/a-Si:H과 유사하였다. 그러나 FERROELECTRIC/a-S:H의 경우가 훨씬 CAPACITANCE 값이 컸으며, 이는 강유전체 박막의 높은 유전상수에 기인 된 것이라 생각된다.

Tb-doped lead zirconate titanate(Pb(Zr$\_$0.6/,Ti$\_$0.4/)O$_3$; PZT) thin films on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates were fabricated by the sol-gel method. The effect on the structural and electrical properties of films measured according to Tb content. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of Tb-doped PZT thin films were altered significantly by Tb-doping. The PZT thin film with higher dielectric constant and improved leakage current characteristic was obtained by adding 0.3 mol% Tb. The relative dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the 0.3 mol% Tb-doped PZT thin film were 1611 and 0.024, respectively. Typical value of the swichable remanent poaraization(2Pr) and the coercive filed of the PZT film capacitor for 0.3 mol% Tb-doped were 61.4 ${\mu}$C/cm$^2$ and 61.9 kV/cm, respectively. Tb-doped PZT thin films showed improved fatigue characteristics comparing to the undoped PZT thin film.
