At a substrate temperature of 600°C, the film on SiO2 was not crystallized. Above 650°C, very strong diffraction from a non-ferroelectric, (111)-oriented fluorite phase was obtained. Its crystallinity increased with increasing Bi content in the target. The fluorite phase was also observed in the film on Pt deposited below 600°C, which together with the pyrochlore phase resulted in the formation of an interfacial reaction product, Bi2Pt. Above 650°C, the films tend to grow as the perovskite SBT phase with a c-axis orientation which is not the polarization axis. In contrast, the formation of the fluorite and pyrochlore phases can be suppressed on Ir electrodes. }, number={9B}, journal={JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS}, author={Fujimura, N and Thomas, DT and Streiffer, SK and Kingon, AJ}, year={1998}, month={Sep}, pages={5185–5188} }
