Abstract

PZT thick films (PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3 with the addition of 6% PbO and 2% Pb5Ge3O11) with a low sintering temperature were printed and fired on LTCC substrates (951, Du Pont), covered with an alumina barrier layer. The electrical characteristics (remanent polarisation, coercive field, dielectric constant and dielectric loss) of these PZT thick films, together with sets prepared on “unprotected” LTCC substrates and on alumina substrates were compared. Whereas the electrical characteristics of the films on LTCC substrates deteriorated significantly due to interactions between the LTCC substrates and the PZT layers the values obtained for the LTCC/alumina barrier structures were comparable with those on ceramic alumina substrates.
