Definitions
- the invention is concerned with electrical devices which depend for their operation on ionic motion. Such motion may be macroscopic involving movement of ions as between affixed electrodes or may be localized. Device uses include capacitors, electrolytic cells, and bolometers.
- An emerging field of interest involves rigid electrical devices which depend for their function on some degree of ionic motion.
- Motion may be macroscopic with ions moving between electrodes - a field of interest here involves solid electrolytic primary or secondary cells; motion may be extremely local (or macroscopic where block electrodes are used) with devices functioning on the basis of attendant dielectric constants.
- dielectric constant may be strongly dependent upon frequency, as well as temperature or magnitude of applied electric field so that such devices may be utilized, as well, for critical measurement of such parameters.
- the US patent 3 195 030 describes a capacitor which in its final fabricated form has a semicrystalline ceramic dielectricum between its electrodes.
- the semicrystalline state is defined as a uniform dispersion of fine crystals in a glassy matrix.
- the semicrystalline ceramics comprises, among others, niobates of sodium and potassium, and glass forming oxides of, among others, phosphorus, boron and silicon.
- the capacitor is produced from an intermediate product which is in form of a fused and shaped glassy body of the mentioned composition with necessary electrodes being affixed thereto. Said intermediate product is subjected to a specific devitrification heat treatment, to convert the single-phase glassy body into its multi-phase semicrystalline state.
- a series of glass compositions are found to manifest a degree of ionic motion which leads to their use in devices using either ionically blocking or conducting electrodes (e.g., capacitors or electrolytic cells).
- Significant device characteristics are found in such glasses in which compositions are related to crystalline materials in which cations are coordinated within an oxygen octahedron.
- Contemplated compositions are defined in claim 1, and are based on niobates and tantalates of lithium, potassium, and sodium with some modifications permitted. Retention and sometimes enhancement of device properties may result from deviation from crystalline stoichiometry - a phenomenon sometimes observed in crystalline materials. Since the ascribed mechanism is enhanced by voids in cation positions, departures from stoichiometry are largely in the direction of cation-lean compositions, although increase in cation content is also permitted.
- compositions for the devices of the invention are amorphous in the traditional sense - i.e., no ordering for distances greater than about 10 nanometers (100 Angstrom units). As in other amorphous materials, departure from stoichiometry are more easily accommodated than in crystalline counterparts. Compositional ranges are considered to extend from compositions which are 50 atom percent cation deficient to those which are 20 atom percent cation rich. Nominal stoichiometric compositions based on crystalline materials are LiNbO a , LiTa0 3 , KNb0 3 , KTa0 3 , NaNb0 3 , and NaTa0 3 . Composition departures particularly by substitution of ions of valence values differing from that of nominal site occupant may be tolerated or even enhance properties. Mixtures of such compositions are permitted.
- glass compositions contemplated for the devices of the invention do not require stabilization by network forming oxides, such as silica, but rather owe their existence to drastic heat treatment (quenching) during formation. Nevertheless, glass forming additives are sometimes utilized to expedite glass formation or even to stabilize the glass phase.
- Materials for the devices of the invention have two characteristics in common: (a) all materials are amorphous in the sense that ordering, while detectable by state of the art electron microscopy does not exceed about 10 nanometers (100 Angstrom units), which is the approximate resolution limit for conventional X-ray diffraction; and (b) all compositions, broadly defined as lithium, potassium, or sodium niobates or tantalates or mixtures thereof, are of nominal compositions which, as stoichiometric and unmodified in the crystalline state, may result in octahedral coordination with an alkali metal cation within an oxygen octahedron.
- Device properties are attributed to nominal compositions which are invariably of the form XZ'0 3 , where X is at least one alkali ion selected from the group consisting of Li, K, Na, and Z is at least one ion selected from the group consisting of Nb and Ta.
- X is at least one alkali ion selected from the group consisting of Li, K, Na
- Z is at least one ion selected from the group consisting of Nb and Ta.
- a cation deviation from stoichiometry of from -50 atom percent to +20 atom percent is permitted, so resulting in the generalized formula X 0.5-1.2 Z 1.1-0.96 O 3' where X and Z are as above defined.
- glass formers may expedite or stabilize glass phase.
- P Z 0 5 , B 2 O 3 , Si0 2 , Ge0 2 generally in amounts of up to about 10 weight percent of total composition. Up to 20 ion percent - preferably up to 10 ion percent - of certain ions - may replace the alkali metal, as well as Nb or Ta.
- the maxima, expressed in terms of percent for each cation in the AB0 3 composition applies to Mg 2+ and/or Ca2+ considered to substitute for Li, K and/or Na, as well as to Mo 4+ , Ti 4 ', Zr 4+ and/or W 4+ considered to substitute for Nb and/or Ta. Such substitution may induce vacancies and so increase conductivity.
- Total compositional modification in other than addition of glass former (or other effective diluent) and disregarding simple departures from stoichiometry should not exceed about 10 weight percent, again based on total composition (including unintentional inclusions), since further modification may adversely affect the amorphous "structure" responsible for large values of ionic conductivity.
- compositions are produced by simple quenching, a desire to produce certain configurations, perhaps thin films, may give rise to the desire to incorporate minor amounts of glass forming ingredients. Since such ingredients only dilute the essential device characteristics, addition is kept at a minimum. For most purposes, 10 weight percent addition is a realistic compromise to accomplish the desired objective while minimizing effect on device characteristics. So, addition of up to 10 weight percent of a silicate may both expedite formation and stabilize compositions. Silicon-containing glass formers may be added simply as silica or as silicates, again, desirably of any of the alkali metal ions Li, K, Na.
- Glass formers e.g., Ge0 2 , P 2 0 5 , B 2 0 3 - may expedite formation and stabilization of the glass phase but may be non-preferred by reason of device property deterioration and difficulty of introduction in that order.
- Device design considerations are interrelated with processing. Much of the study reported in this disclosure relates to measurements made on discrete devices. Devices of this nature are appropriately fabricated from samples made by roller quenching, splat cooling, etc. It has been indicated that an aspect of the invention considered of particular promise involves the extremely high dielectric constants attendant upon the same ionic motion responsible for high conductivity values. These very high values, which, in typical compositions tested at 1 kHz, range from 10 5 at temperatures of the order of 300 degrees C but still at a level as high as 150 at room temperature, present an alternative to the low dielectric constant thin film approach exemplified by the familiar tantalum oxide capacitor.
- Sputtering techniques which depend on choice of source, i.e., vapor phase reactants, if any, as well as bias control effected through adjustment of such parameters as applied potential, use of floating electrodes, shaping electric fields, etc., are developed to a degree of sophistication as to enable the worker to realize desired layer characteristics.
- Device electrodes blocking or conducting may be apnlied in a manner familiar to workers in the field of integrated circuits.
- FIG. 1 is illustrative of a category of devices in accordance with the invention in which ionic motion is local - i.e., restricted to movement within the glassy material.
- Devices of this category may serve a variety of uses.
- the high capacitance values, characteristic of glass phase materials herein suggest construction of capacitors possibly by a technique compatible with silicon integrated circuit or other integrated or hybrid circuit fabrication.
- dielectric characteristics are due to ionic motion - a temperature dependent phenomenon - capacitance and, in fact, all device characteristics of the invention, are also characterized by temperature dependence. This dependence may be tolerable in categories of circuits some of which may even be provided with close temperature control for other reasons.
- temperature dependence for dielectric constant may be used to advantage, for example, serving as dielectric bolometer for measuring temperature (or for indirectly measuring any other condition which has the effect of altering temperature). Since typical circuitry depends upon elements themselves characterized by temperature dependence, inclusion of a device of the invention may serve to compensate such effect.
- the device of FIG. 1 has a body 1 of an amorphous material as contemplated herein. Electrical connection is via leads 4 and 5 contacting electrodes 2 and 3, respectively.
- electrodes 2 and 3 are "blocking" in that they do not show appreciable ionic conductivity. Suitable materials are electronic conductors, such as gold or aluminum, both of which lend themselves to ready fabrication.
- FIG. 2 is illustrative of that class of devices in which at least some of the alkali ions traverse the glass-electrode interface. While alkali ion- deficient compositions are of general interest in all devices of the invention, it is in devices of this category in which such compositions are of particular interest.
- the device depicted which may be regarded, for example, as a primary or secondary solid electrolytic cell comprises an amorphous body 20 of a composition herein, intimately contacted by a first alkali metal- containing electrode 21 and a second electrode 22, possibly of a transition metal chalcogenide. Examples of such chalcogenides presently under study are FeS x , NbSe, TiS 2 , VS 2 , and NbS 2 .
- Electrodes rather than blocking, are ionic conductors. While alternatives are possible, it would be expected that electrode 21 and amorphous body (electrolyte) 20 would contain at least some alkali metal ions in common. Much work reported in the literature depends upon use of the high mobility of lithium; and it is expected that exemplary structures of the type depicted in FIG. 2 would make use of lithium- containing electrolyte and electrode material.
- the structure of FIG. 2 is completed by electronic electrodes and leads 23, 24 and 25, 26.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the temperature-dependent characteristics of typical compositions of materials for devices of the invention.
- the particular coordinates chosen, logarithm of conductivity (in terms of the symbol a which may, for example, be in units of ohm- 1 cm- 1 ) on the ordinate, and reciprocal temperature (degrees Kelvin) on the abscissa conveniently result in a straight line plot which may reliably be extrapolated beyond the data for all temperatures in the amorphous phase.
- the room temperature conductivity is approximately 10- 5 ohm-' cm- 1 . This value compares favorably with rigid ionic conductors, in general. While the slope of the plotted line is generally characteristic of ionic conductors, the absolute values of conductivity vary.
- This temperature dependence of conductivity is a property of significance in devices exemplified by bolometers, as well as other devices in which varying values of conductivity/capacitance are useful for measurement purposes or to compensate for other temperature-dependent parameters.
- the electrodes of which are, for example, essentially rionconductive for the alkaline metal ions, e.g. are metallic, to have a surface which is absorbing for the radiation to be detected, for instance IR radiation, in order to increase the device sensitivity against radiation.
- FIG. 3 which is a measure of ionic flow, is properly considered for its broader implication - ionic movement, generally.
- total charge accumulation - i.e., capacitance - is sufficiently related to conductivity - net ionic movement responsive to biasing - to permit use of the same data.
- An additional use of devices of the invention also dependent upon localized movement - i.e., on charge accumulation - is dependent upon the pyroelectric effect either in biased material or in unbiased material which has previously been polarized. Charges so produced are temperature dependent primarily due to the temperature dependence of ionic motion. It has been noted that other device uses may also depend upon temperature dependence of ionic motion. Such devices generally use blocking electrodes (electrodes with large resistance to ionic conduction).
- Material used in the following examples was prepared by roller quenching. Sintered material of the appropriate composition was powdered in a mortar and pestle to produce particles that would pass through a 120 mesh (125 micrometers) screen. Approximately 5 grams of powdered material was placed in an iridium crucible provided with a 10 mil (25.4 x 10- 3 centimeters) aperture, in the bottom surface. The crucible was covered with an apertured platinum lid which was then evacuated through the aperture to maintain a small vacuum of approximately 2 inches (5.1 centimetres) of water. Crucible and contents were then heated with a radio frequency heater, heated sufficiently to melt contents. To facilitate further processing, heating was actually carried out at a temperature somewhat in excess of melting (100 degrees C - 300 degrees C excess). The purpose of the vacuum is to prevent leakage of material during heating.
- Flakes were inspected by X-ray diffraction, as well as differential thermal analysis, to result in a finding that there was no long-range ordering over dimensions as great as 10 nanometers (100 Angstrom units) and to indicate that the material was metastable (DTA exhibited exotherm).
- electrodes were affixed to the flake specimens or portions thereof - electrodes were either blocking or ionically conducting, depending upon the nature of the experiment to be conducted. Details are set forth in the examples which follow. In each instance, a composition, as well as melt temperature actually utilized in its preparation, is listed.
- Example. 9 is included as exemplary of a structure utilizing non-blocking electrodes. It will be noted that measured ionic conductivity is that expected from measurements conducted in the preceding examples.
- Example 2 - LiTa0 3 - was measured at frequencies of 120H, 400H, and 1 kH to reveal dielectric constant dependence on this parameter.
- the 100 degrees C dielectric constant was 7,000, 1,600, and 800, respectively.
- Conductivity remained constant at a value of approximately 1.5 x 10 -6 ohm -2 cm -1 over this frequency range.
- the dielectric constant of the specimen of Example 1 - LiNb0 3 - was measured at varying temperature to determine thermal response. Dielectric constant was found to vary at the fractional rate of 6 percent/degrees C over the entire temperature range from room temperature to 200 degrees C. For this configuration absorption of radiant energy results in a one degree temperature change per 5 microjoules absorption of radiant energy.
- Example 1 A specimen of the composition and dimensions of that of Example 1 - LiNb0 3 - was provided with non-blocking electrodes of LiCI and the d.c. conductivity was measured. Measured values were approximately the same as the 1 kilohertz values set forth for Example 1.
