Abstract
Thin films of PbTiO3 were prepared on MgO(100) substrates by chemical vapor deposition using Pb(C 2H 5) 4 (PbEt) and Ti(OC 3H 7) 4 (TTIP) as sources. With decreasing Pb/Ti molar ratio from 1.2 to 1 the degree of c-axis orientation increased. Highly c-axis oriented PbTiO3 thin films were epitaxially grown at 500°C and 2 kPa. The films were transparent and had a refractive index (n) of 2.64 at 632.8 nm which was about 2% lower than that of a single PbTiO3 crystal ( ${\rm n}$ $\approx$ 2.7). The films prepared on (100)-oriented Pt electrodes deposited on MgO(100) substrates at 600°C and 2 kPa also showed a prominent c-axis orientation and had a dielectric constant of 90.
