Abstract
The PZT-substrate or PZT-electrode interface can affect the FE properties and specifically the fatigue behaviour. Typical Pt-PZT-Pt capacitors exhibited fatigue resistance up to 10x - 109 cycles, while RuO2, La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 and YBa2Cu3O7 electrodes have been reported in literature to yield fatigue-free devices up to 1011 - 1012 cycles. In an early study which compared the fatigue behaviour of bulk PLZT ceramics with various metal electrodes, it was found that in offered the best fatigue performance (up to 109 cycles). A series of sol-gel derived PZT 53/47 films were fired to 700C to achieve single-phase FE perovskite films. Bottom electrode (or the substrate) consisted of sputtered Pt on oxidized Si wafers. Monolithic capacitors were obtained by depositing top electrodes of Ag, Au, Au-Pd, Pd and Pt. All the capacitors exhibited fatigue, manifested by lower values of Pr, Ec and εr but higher leakage currents after cycling.
