Offer Description
The project aims at exploring the sputter growth of novel piezoelectric thin films (KLN, KNN, AlScN) with a high degree of crystalline orientation and strong piezoelectric activity for future applications in RF filters and sensors.
The main objectives of the project are:
Optimization of the reactive sputtering process parameters (pressure, pulsed DC power, substrate temperature, and Ar/N2 gas ratio) to obtain films of good crystal orientation and maximum piezoelectric activity under transverse excitation (d33).
X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) characterization of the samples.
Fabrication of demonstrators (acoustic resonators) and assessment of the frequency response.
Effect of post deposition annealing treatments.
