Abstract

Sputtered Pb(Zr52Ti48)O3 (PZT) thin films grown on 150 mm Silicon-on-Sapphire (SOS) substrates for RF MEMS applications. Film properties are compared to similar films deposited on 150 mm Si/SiO2 wafers. PZT films deposited on SOS show improvement in PMAX (46.2 vs. 42.1 μV/cm2) and PREM (22.0 vs. 16.5 μV/cm2) over films deposited on Si. A decrease in maximum ϵr from 1027 (Si) to 927 (SOS) is also noted. Crystal structure is examined using x-ray diffraction, while ferroelectric P-E hysteresis curves, dielectric constant tuning, and loss tangentare studied using fabricated capacitor structures.
