crystal orientation of the film, and the lattice matching Abstract Epitaxial 0.67Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.33PbTiO3 and the thermal-expansion-coefficient difference between (PMN-PT) thin films with electro-optic effects were the film and the substrate. Although, almost thin film fabricated on (Lao 5Sr0o5)CoO3(LSCO)/CeO2/YSZ-bufferd research concerning electrooptic effect has been done on Si(001) substrates by double-pulse excitation PLD oxide single-crystal substrate, these substrates are method with a mask mechanism. Epitaxial growths of expensive for industrial use. Growth of electrooptic thin PMN-PT thin films were successively grown by the two films on Si substrates must be carried out in order to step growth method of PMN-PT film. The PMN-PT seed realize future hybrid devices with Si LSI and electrooptic layer was deposited on the LSCO layer at 500°C which circuits on the same substrate. There are many reports in was the same temperature of the LSCO deposition. PMN-the literature concerning epitaxially-grown thin films PT thin films was deposited on PMN-PT seed layer at with perovskite structure deposited on oxide single 600°C which enable to grow high crystalinity PMN-PT crystal substrates, such as SrTiO3 (STO) single crystal, film with smooth surfaces. We obtained the optimum however, there have been few reports on the preparation fabrication condition of PMN-PT film with gm order of epitaxial PMN-PT thin films on Si(001) substrates.

Electro-optic epitaxially grown on Si substrates by introducing property and refractive index measured by prism appropriate buffer layers using pulsed laser deposition coupling method were 2.59 at the wavelength of 633 nm.

However, there was a thickness limitation at The electro-optic coefficient r13 and r33 was measured by several hundred nm for keeping the microstructure and applying the electrical field between semi-transparent crystalinity to keep epitaxial PMN-PT thin films. At least thin top electrode of Pt and bottom LSCO electrode. over one gm of PMN-PT film thickness is necessary for Electro-optic coefficient was rl3=17pm/V at TE mode optical devices. We have succeeded to grow the PMN-PT and r33=55pm/V at TM mode.epitaxial film with gm order thickness by introducing the appropriate buffer layers, SrRuO3(SRO)/STO/LSCO/
