Abstract
Stable sols or gels with SrBi2Nb2O9 composition were obtained from mixtures of niobium ethoxide, bismuth and strontium 2-ethylhexanoates. SrBi2Nb2O9 thin films were prepared by spin-coating a stable precursor solution on Si/SiO2/TiO2/Pt substrates. Randomly oriented 0.3 µm-thick crack-free films were obtained after 10 successive depositions and an heat-treatment of 2 hours at 700°C. Crystallisation occurs at about 550 °C and a pure SrBi2NB2O9 phase is obtained at 600°C. P-E hysteresis loops have confirmed the ferroelectric behaviour of the films : they show a remanent polarisation of 2.5 µC/cm2. No fatigue was observed up to 109 full switching.
