Temperature dependence of ferroelectric properties of SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films

Abstract
Temperature dependence of ferroelectric properties was studied on SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films with stoichiometric composition and Sr deficient and/or Bi excess compositions. Decreasing rate of remanent polarization Pr with increasing temperature was fairly small for the 20% Sr deficient compositions compared to the stoichiometric Sr content compositions. The large Pr decrease for the stoichiometric compositions was attributed to the increase of fast polarization relaxation with increasing temperature. Fatigue-free property was confirmed even at 150 °C for all compositions.
