Abstract
SrBi2.2 Ta2O9 (SBT) thin film with thickness of 2 µm was successfully prepared by sol-gel method, using strontium acetate semihydrate [Sr(CH3 COO)2 · 1/2H2O] and bismth subnitrate [BiO(NO3)], and tantalum ethoxide [Ta(OCH2CH3)5] as source materials, glacial acetic and ethylene glycol as solvents. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope(TEM) results indicate that SBT layer-perovskite phase obtained has to be single phase, SBT thin film is formed after being annealed at 800 °C for for 1 min. The typical hysteresis loop of SBT thin film on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si is obtained, and the measured polarization value of the SBT thin film is 4. 2 µ/C/cm2.
