1. A process for fabricating a device, comprising the steps of:
- providing a diamond substrate;
depositing an oriented perovskite template layer comprising lead titanate, strontium titanate, or barium titanate directly onto the substrate;
depositing a layer of lead zirconate titanate onto the template layer by a vapor phase deposition method, wherein the template layer induces oriented nucleation and growth of the lead zirconate titanate layer, such that the lead zirconate titanate layer is an oriented, perovskite layer exhibiting a piezoelectric coefficient of about 50×

Abstract
The invention provides a device comprising an oriented, perovskite PZT layer on a diamond substrate, or other substrates such as silicon or platinum-coated materials. Vapor phase deposition processes are used to deposit a PZT layer onto a perovskite template layer on the substrate. The template layer is more readily deposited in a perovskite structure compared to PZT, and provides for nucleation and growth of the deposited PZT in perovskite form. The vapor phase deposition promotes the oriented structure of the resulting film. The structure is useful in a variety of devices, including surface acoustic wave devices.
