Abstract

Pb(Zr, Ti)O (PZT) has been the most widely utilized in piezoelectric Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) actuator. However, the improvement of its piezoelectricity has been saturated recently. Thus, we have developed Sm-doped Pb(Mg, Nb)O3-PbTiO (Sm-PMN-PT) epitaxial thin film as a next-generation piezoelectric thin film beyond PZT. In this study, a (001)/(100)-oriented Sm-PMN-PT with the pure perovskite phase was successfully sputter-deposited on a Si substrate using an epitaxial PZT buffer layer. The transverse piezoelectric coefficient, |e|, of a 1.5-gm-thick Sm-PMN-PT/PZT stack film measured over 20 C/m, which is equivalent to or better than those of the best class PZT thin films. From this result, the influence of the PZT buffer layer was deembedded, and |e| of the sole Sm-PMN-PT thin film was estimated at higher than 26 C/m. This result suggests a potential of epitaxial Sm-PMN-PT for high-performance piezo-MEMS.
