摘要

The crystallographic orientation of PZT films is related to the orientation of the substrate (electrode) and the process parameters. In this study, the PZT films are deposited by sol-gel on silicon substrate with different bottom electrodes: TiOx/Pt and LaNiO3. In terms of sol-gel process we have modified the precursor concentration and the type of solvent. All these parameters affect the crystallite orientation. Nano-indentation tests coupled with continuous stiffness measurements allowed to obtain the M-< hk1 >, elastic modulus and the hardness H-b < hk1 > of these films. From the present study and from the literature, it is clearly shown that the mechanical properties greatly depend on the crystalline orientation. A compilation of all the reported data allows us to propose the values of M <(hk1 >), and Hb <(hk1 >) for the three characteristic orientations (001), (111) and (110).
