✦ Synopsis

PZT thick films with thicknesses between 5 and 150 m are of great interest for microsystems applications where direct coating onto microelectronic substrates and high electromechanical performance are required. Dense PZT thick films have been obtained by combining a PZT-PMN powder with a low melting point glass and the eutectic forming oxides Bi 2 O 3 and ZnO. Densification is due to transient liquid phase formation with additional incorporation of cations into the growing PZT grains during sintering. PZT thick films prepared by this method show excellent dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. They have been applied on various substrates, like Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) and silicon wafers which are basis materials for microsystems technology. The influence of the substrate material on the PZT thick film properties and the role of buffer layers will be discussed.

Bulk PZT thick film actuator integrated with displacement sensor, the so-called self-sensing actuator, is presented in this paper. The PZT film is used as not only an actuating layer but also a displacement sensor, which is achieved by dividing the electrode on the top surface of the PZT film into t

A hybrid sol-gel-powder method was used to process 3-6 m thick lead zirconate titanate films via spin-coating a Ni-base alloy and silicon substrates. The films were crack free and possessed a fine microstructure. High effective piezoelectric coefficients, d 33 , of 250 pm/V were obtained from piezoe
