Time and temperature dependencies of imprint characteristicsin SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 capacitors
The temperature dependence of imprint characteristics in SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 capacitors has been investigated by monitoring changes in switching charges ( Δ Q ) and hysteresis shifts ( Δ V ) . Activation energies E a and E a ′ were obtained from Δ Q and Δ V , respectively, E a = 0.34 and E a ′ = 0.14 eV...

Summary: | The temperature dependence of imprint characteristics in
SrBi
2
Ta
2
O
9
capacitors has been investigated by monitoring changes in switching charges
(
Δ
Q
)
and hysteresis shifts
(
Δ
V
)
. Activation energies
E
a
and
E
a
′
were obtained from
Δ
Q
and
Δ
V
, respectively,
E
a
=
0.34
and
E
a
′
=
0.14
eV
. The origin of this discrepancy is due to the fact that the relationship between
Δ
Q
and
Δ
V
is not linear, and because the dependence of
Δ
Q
on temperature is overestimated because of the seeming dependence. It is concluded that a detailed investigation of hysteresis shifts is necessary for precise discussions of imprint mechanisms in ferroelectric capacitors. |
