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...

Description
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.
