  • Method for increasing bulk conductivity of a ferroelectric material such as lithium tantalate
    Patent number: 7527755
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a ferroelectric material is processed by placing the material in an environment including metal vapor and heating the material to a temperature below the Curie temperature of the material. This allows the bulk conductivity of the ferroelectric material to be increased without substantially degrading its ferroelectric domain properties. In one embodiment, the ferroelectric material comprises lithium tantalate and the metal vapor comprises zinc.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2005
    Date of Patent: May 5, 2009
    Assignee: Silicon Light Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Ronald O. Miles, Ludwig L. Galambos, Janos J. Lazar, Gabriel C. Risk, Alexei L. Alexandrovski, Gregory D. Miller, David Caudillo, Joseph M. McRae, Gisele L. Foulon
