Abstract

Mn and Sb doped-PZT (PMSZT)/YBa2Cu3O7−y (YBCO) heterostructures have been integrated with YSZ/Si substrates for fabrication of infrared (IR) detector arrays. PMSZT films with good epitaxy on c-oriented YBCO conducting oxide electrodes have been successfully grown by a pulsed laser ablation deposition. The ferroelectric properties of the PMSZT films show good hystersis loops with a coercive field Ec, of 70 kV/cm and a remnant polarization Pr, of 15μC/cm2. I-V curves show that the PMSZT films have high electrical field breakdown strength with values exceeding 400kV/cm. Doping Mn and Sb into PZT has been shown to not only decrease the Curie temperature Tc from 350°C for PZT to 175°C for PMSZT, but also to enhance the IR responsivity of the pyroelectric thin films. PMSZT detectors have a pyroelectric coefficient of 45nC/cm2K at 25°C and 148nC/cm2K at 88°C, and pyroelectric figures of merit, Fv of 15.5 × 10−11 C. cm/J and Fd of 9.5 × 10−9 C. cm/J at 25°C. The measured normalized detectivity D* in the 2.5μm--19.5μm wavelength range varies from 2.5×108cm. Hz1/2/W to 6.0×108cm. Hz1/2/W.
