Abstract
A method of making a piezoelectric device comprising providing a deposition chamber, the deposition chamber having reduced pressure therein; loading a substrate into the deposition chamber; sputter depositing hexagonal 001 oriented titanium on the substrate; providing an oxygen anneal to convert 001 oriented titanium into 100 oriented rutile TiO2; sputter depositing a 111 or 100 oriented textured conducting material for use as an electrode; sputter depositing a hexagonal 001 oriented titanium and providing an oxygen anneal in a lead oxide environment to convert 001 oriented titanium into 100 oriented rutile TiO2 or PbxTi1-xO3; sputter depositing textured lead zirconate titanate PbZrxTi1-xO3 having an 001 orientation as a piezoelectric layer, and sputter depositing a textured electrode on top of the textured lead zirconate titanate; whereby processing of the layers within the deposition chamber provides minimized exposure to ambient contamination and improved texturing in the resulting films.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
