Method of fabricating rare-earth doped piezoelectric material with various amounts of dopants and a selected C-axis orientation

摘要

A method of fabricating a rare-earth element doped piezoelectric material having a first component, a second component and the rare-earth element. The method includes: providing a substrate; initially flowing hydrogen over the substrate; after the initially flowing of the hydrogen over the substrate, flowing the first component to form the rare-earth element doped piezoelectric material over a surface of a target, the target comprising the rare-earth metal in a certain atomic percentage; and sputtering the rare-earth element doped piezoelectric material from the target on the substrate.
