Advanced characterization of thin-film PZT for enhanced manufacturability and performance of pyroelectric Infrared detectors

Lead Participant: PYREOS LIMITED

Abstract

The "Advanced characterization of thin-film PZT for enhanced manufacturability and performance of pyroelectric Infrared detectors" project is an initiative which combines the skills and expertise of Pyreos Ltd, the world's only thin-film pyroelectric supplier and NPL, the national measurement standards laboratory for the United Kingdom, to advance the state-of-the-art of the manufacturing and characterization of thin-film pyroelectric detectors.

This is a growing area of academic research and given its uniqueness and importance, it is an area of interest for UK national laboratories to participate in.[1] Techniques developed on the project are likely to be widely applicable in the field of functional thin-film (especially ferroelectric) oxides for MEMS and IoT applications.
