The Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (Pb(Zr52Ti48)O3, PZT) thin films, 0.5um, have been deposited on Pt/Si substrate at room temperature by RF planar magnetron sputtering technique. The annealing temperature of the PZT thin film are 650(degree)C to 750(degree)C and perovskite structure is obtained. By the X- ray diffraction(XRD) analysis, the FWHM of (110) plane is 0.23(degree) and (110) orientation a is 0.12. The values of the remanent polarization Pr and thecoercive field Ec of the PZT thin film are 100nCcm^(-2) and 0.6KVcm^(-1) ,respectively, at 60Hz. The measured pyroelectric coefficient in 0.5um thin films is 3.12*10^(-4)C/m^(2)K at 50(degree)C. Their dielectric constant and theloss tangent are about 494 and 0.072, respectively, at 1KHz. The surface structure of PZT thin film was examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and the grain size in the rang of 0.08-0.14um.
In this paper the integrated pyroelectric infrared sensors have been made by combining a PZT thin film with an Si JFET. A JFET is used to read out the pyroelectrically generated signal. The relevant sensor parameters voltage sensitivity and specific detectivity are measured within a modulation frequencyrange from 0.2Hz to 10 Hz. With the 500um thick silicon substrate, the voltage sensitivity is RV = 191V/W, the maximum specific detectivity is D* = 2*10^(7) cmHz^(1/2)/W, at a modulation frequency of 1Hz.
