Description

Thin films of PbTiO3 were prepared on MgO(100) substrates by chemical vapor deposition using Pb(C2H5)4 (PbEt) and Ti(OC3H7)4 (TTIP) as sources. With decreasing Pb/Ti molar ratio from 1.2 to 1 the degree of c-axis orientation increased. Highly c-axis oriented PbTiO3 thin films were epitaxially grown at 500degC and 2 kPa. The films were transparent and had a refractive index (n) of 2.64 at 632.8 nm which was about 2% lower than that of a single PbTiO3 crystal (n≅2.7). The films prepared on (100)-oriented Pt electrodes deposited on MgO(100) substrates at 600degC and 2 kPa also showed a prominent c-axis orientation and had a dielectric constant of 90. (orig.)
