Reduction of azimuthal domains in (100)- and (118)-oriented ferroelectric Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O1 2 films making use of YSZ and Si substrates with definite off-cut — •Sung Kyun Lee1, Ho Nyung Lee2, and Dietrich Hesse11Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, D-06120 Halle (Saale), Germany — 2Condensed Matter Science Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, TN 37831, USA

La-substituted bismuth titanate is a candidate for non-volatile ferroelectric RAMs, combining a high remanent polarization Pr with a very good fatigue resistance. Uniformly oriented Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O1 2 (BLT) films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition. a-axis oriented BLT films on SrRuO3(110)- electroded, YSZ(100)-buffered Si(100) wafers show a Pr of 32 microCoulomb/sqr-cm and a small fatigue of less than 10 percent after a billion cycles. Since (110)-oriented SrRuO3 electrode layers grow on YSZ(100) buffer layers with four azimuthal domains, the BLT films consist of eight azimuthal domains involving 20-, 70- and 90-domain boundaries. To reduce the number of azimuthal domains, SrRuO3 layers and BLT films were grown by PLD onto YSZ(100) and YSZ(100)-buffered Si(100) single crystal substrates having a definite off-cut. The offcut angle was varied from zero to 5 in steps of 1...2; two azimuthal offcut directions were used, viz. [100] and [110]. The films were investigated by XRD pole figures and Phi scans, TEM, and ferro-electric measurements. A [110] offcut allowed to effectively reduce the number of domains and domain boundaries by 50 percent.
