Abstract

Porous ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films are a promising material for various electronic applications. This study focuses on understanding how the structure-directing agent, polyvinylpyrrolidone, can alter the structure and electrical properties of porous PZT films prepared through chemical solution deposition. Films with various porosities of up to ~40 vol.% and pore connectivities from 3-0 to 3-3 were prepared and studied by capacitance–voltage, dielectric hysteresis, transient current, photocurrent, and local current techniques. We have found that a linear decrease in material volume in a porous film is not the only factor that determines film properties. The creation of new internal grain boundaries plays a key role in changing electrical properties. This research expands the understanding of physical phenomena in porous ferroelectric films and may facilitate the development of new materials and devices.
