The results indicate that the Pt diffusion barrier layer between the PZT layer and the Si substrate prohibits the formation of TiCx, TiSix and SiO2 species in the PZT layer. The Pt barrier layer also completly interrupts the diffusion of Si from the Si substrate into the PZT layer and impedes the diffusion of oxygen from air to the Si substrate greatly. Although the Pt layer can not prevent completely the diffusion and reaction between oxygen and silicon, it can prevent the formation of a stable SiO2 interface layer on the interface of PZT/Si. The Pt layer reacts with silicon to form PtSix species on the interface of Pt/Si, which can intensify the chemical binding strength between the Pt layer and the Si substrate. To play a good role as a diffusion barrier layer, the Pt barrier layer must be not thinner than 140 nm.
