Electrode dependence of hydrogen-induced degradation in ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 and SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
Forming gas annealing causes changes in the remanent polarization (Pr), coercive field (Ec), and leakage current ~I! in both PZT @Pb~Zr,Ti!O3# and SBT (SrBi2Ta2O9) samples with a variety of top electrode materials ~Pt, Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, and In2O3!, and the degree of degradation depends strongly on the top electrode material. These results may be explained by a model that is based on the catalytic activities of the top electrode to dissociate hydrogen molecules into hydrogen atoms, with the latter subsequently migrating into PZT or SBT films to cause oxygen deficiency and its associated property degradation. This model can be expanded to explain the recovery phenomenon resulting from oxygen annealing, which also depends on the catalytic activity of the top electrode to produce atomic oxygen from molecular oxygen. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~97!01835-4#

Laser Annealing of MOCVD Deposited Ferroelectric SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 , Pb ( ZrXTi 1 - X ) O 3 and CeMnO 3 Thin Films
Excimer laser annealing studies were conducted of SrBi2Ta2O9, Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 and CeMnO3 thin films. The main incentive was to develop a low temperature process for SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films, which typically require a 750 C anneal to crystallize and achieve optimum ferroelectric properties. The results show that room temperature laser annealing can crystallize SrBi2Ta2O9, with a strong (200) preferr...
متن کاملDirect current field adjustable ferroelectric behaviour in (Pb, Nb)(Zr, Sn, Ti)O3 antiferroelectric thin films
Abstract (Pb,Nb)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 antiferroelectric (AFE) thin films have been fabricated on LaNiO3/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si wafers using a sol–gel process. The electric field-induced antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric (AFE–FE) phase transformation behaviour and its dependence on the temperature were examined by investigating the dielectric constant and dielectric loss versus temperature and electrical field. ...
متن کاملProbing fatigue in ferroelectric thin films with subnanometer depth resolution
The authors report the study of polarization fatigue in Pb Zr,Ti O3 PZT ferroelectric thin films using in situ high-resolution grazing incidence x-ray specular reflectivity of synchrotron radiation. The results demonstrate that there is no formation of a region of different electron densities in the film growth direction with subnanometer depth resolution during fatigue. The upper bounds on the...
