Lead, lanthanum, zirconate, and titanate, in a broad range of                   compositions, combine to form a transparent ferroelectric ceramic               referred to as PLZT. the optical transparency and electrooptic                  properties of PLZT materials make them useful for a variety of                  electronic devices and advantageous over competing technologies.                They have yet to be used on a large commercial scale due to high                operating voltages required for switching.                                      The approach taken in this research is to use a PLZT target to                  sputter deposit onto a transparent substrate while controlling                  the variables of substrate temperature, substrate bias, target                  composition, and chamber pressure.  By varying these factors, the               end result is a transparent ferroelectric ceramic with certain                  intrinsic stress, morphology, and grain structure which                         ultimately affect the threshold of the switching voltage.                       The PLZT thin films that will result have application in                        electrooptic devices for spatial light modulators, image storage                devices reflective displays, filters, and linear gate arrays.
