Abstract

Ta 2O 5 films were sputter deposited in a magnetron sputtering system. Piezoelectric sensing abilities were observed after annealing above 800 °C. Sensors annealed at 900 °C. showed good response at room temperature. The annealed β-Ta 2O 5 film was orthorhombic and had a symmetry of 2 mm. Inconel is a suitable substrate for high temperature sensing applications of piezoelectric β-Ta 2O 5.
