    摘要: For a probe based data storage (PDS) device a ferroelectric film stack may be used as a media to store data bits by polarizing areas of the film as either an up domain or a down domain to represent bits. However a built-in-bias field (BBF) may create domain retention problems. By growing the ferroelectric films with stress and composition gradients this may generate polarization gradients which reduce the bias field. Thus, the retention (or imprint) may be improved with minimized BBF.

    摘要: An arrangement, a method and a system to read information stored in a layer of ferroelectric media. The arrangement includes a layer including a ferroelectric media having one or more ferroelectric domains holding bit charges, a domain corresponding to information; a probe having a tip, wherein the media and the tip are adapted to move relative to one another such that the tip scans the ferroelectric domains of the media while applying a contact force to the domains to generate a direct piezoelectric effect within the domains; and circuitry coupled to the tip and adapted to generate a signal in response to an electrical coupling between the tip and the domains while scanning the tip in contact with the domains, the signal corresponding to a readout signal for ferroelectric bit charges stored in the media

    摘要: A film bulk acoustic resonator is formed on a substrate having a major surface. The film bulk acoustic resonator includes an elongated stack. The elongated stack includes a layer of piezoelectric material positioned between a first conductive layer deposited on a first surface of the layer of piezoelectric material, and a second conductive layer deposited on a second surface of the layer of piezoelectric material. The elongated stack is positioned substantially perpendicular with respect to the major surface of the substrate. The first and second conductive layers are placed on the layer of piezoelectric material substantially simultaneously and in one processing step. The major surface of the substrate is in a horizontal plane and the stack of the film bulk acoustic resonator is in a substantially vertical plane. The resonator structure formed may be used either as a resonator or a filter.
