O3 (PZT) thin film has been investigated. The etching rate of the as-deposited pyrochlore phase PZT is comparable to that of perovskite which was crystallized by 600°C annealing. Etching rate increased with increasing RF power and reached a plateau at 1.0 W/cm2. Highly anisotropic etching of PZT with little resist damage could be realized by reducing RF power.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
