Abstract
The multifunctions of the PZT films deposited on amorphous and polycrystalline substrates have been investigated and compared with those on the single crystals substrate. With using a perovskite type film of LaNiO3 (LNO) as the buffer layer, oriented or prefer oriented PZT thin films were successfully deposited on glass, stainless steel and ceramic substrates of Al2O3, SiC, and Si3N4. These PZT/LNO/substrate systems possess high dielectricity, ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity. It is demonstrated that the PZT thin film can not only act as a ferroelectric memory but also can act as an artificial skin to sense various mechanical stress applied on the substrates, such as mechanical impacts and stress changes. The PZT/LNO deposited on amorphous and ceramics substrates were capable of sensing crack and fractures of the substrates.
