Abstract

This letter reports the fabrication of PbZrxTi 1-xO3 (PZT) thin-film capacitors on flexible plastic substrates. The PZT film was formed on a wafer using a solgel method and transferred to a thin plastic substrate using an elastomeric stamp. The PZT film on the plastic substrate showed a well-saturated hysteresis loop with a P r of ∼20μC/cm2 and a Vc of ∼1.1 V at a supplied voltage of 3 V, which are similar to those observed for PZT films on rigid wafers, as well as stable operation under an 8-mm bending radius. These characteristics suggest promising applications in flexible electronic systems.
