Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide excellent ferroelectric characteristic by permitting Pb content of a PZT thin film to be almost uniform in the depth direction after annealing by the production of the PZT thin film which is sandwiched by the top and bottom Pt electrodes. CONSTITUTION:Before annealing, a PZT precursor-thin film is formed of six layers 104-109 and the Pb content of the PZT precursor-thin film is increased as it goes closer to the surface, namely, to a top electrode 110, from the PZT precursor-thin film 104 on the bottom electrode 103. The Pb content distribution in the depth direction after the annealing is permitted to be almost uniform. Thus, the film can be applied as a non-volatile memory, an optical switch, a capacitor, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor and a thin film piezoelectric vibrator.
