Abstract

Self'-polarization effect was observed in Pb(Zr0.54Ti 0.46)O3 (PZT) films with 10 mol% of PbO excess RF magnetron sputtered onto Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. On the contrary, no self-polarization was found in films sputtered from stoichiometric targets. Local piezoelectric measurements revealed the asymmetry in the piezoelectric distributions of self-polarized films that was significantly reduced after UV illumination. The tentative model was suggested that may explain the observed results.
