Abstract

Lead-free sodium bismuth titanate-aluminate bismuth [0.97(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-0.03BiAlO3] solid-solution films deposited on (100) Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by a sol-gel process were pyrolyzed and annealed at different temperatures. The film annealed at 725°C with a pyrolysis temperature of 410°C exhibited the optimal electrical properties and excellent piezoelectric properties, with a remanent polarization 2Pr of 38 μC/cm2 and a leakage current density of 10-7-10-6 A/cm2 (E < 200 kV/cm). The values of the dielectric constant and dissipation factor at 100 kHz were 422 and 0.039, respectively. The piezoelectric coefficient of the film after poling at 168 kV/cm was found to be 57 pm/V, making the BNT-BA films a viable lead-free alternative to the lead-based materials in such as biosensors and ultrasonic transducers.
