Impact of AlN Seed Layer on Microstructure and Piezoelectric Properties of YxAl1−xN (x = 15%) Thin Films

Abstract Alloying transition metals into aluminum nitride (AlN) has surged over the past decade to increase the piezoelectric performance of AlN for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) applications. So far, the highest piezoelectric coefficients have been achieved by alloying scandium into AlN. Bu...
