Abstract:
Sensors that have low power consumption, high scalability and the ability of rapidly detecting multitudinous external stimulus are of great value in cyber-physical interactive applications. Herein, we reported the fabrication of ferroelectric barium strontium titanate ((Ba70Sr30)TiO3, BST) thin films on silicon substrates by magnetron sputtering. The as-grown BST films have a pure perovskite structure and exhibit excellent ferroelectric characteristics, such as a remnant polarization of 2.4 mu C/cm(2), a ferro-to-paraelectric (tetragonal-to-cubic) phase transition temperature of 31.2 degrees C, and a broad optical bandgap of 3.58 eV. Capacitor-based sensors made from the BST films have shown an outstanding average sensitivity of 0.10 mV center dot Pa-1 in the 10-80 kPa regime and work extremely steadily over 1000 cycles. More importantly, utilizing the Pockels effect, optical manipulation in BST can be also realized by a smaller bias and its electro-optic coefficient r(eff) is estimated to be 83.5 pmV(-1), which is 2.6 times larger than in the current standard material (LiNbO3) for electro-optical devices. Our work established BST thin film as a powerful design paradigm toward on-chip integrations with diverse electronics into sensors via CMOS-comparable technique.
