A semi-empirical CAD model of ferroelectric capacitor for circuit simu
lation as well as for device characterization is proposed. The model c
an successfully describe the followings with only 5 parameters(V-c, V-
o, P-s, C-o, tau) which have definite meanings. These are 1) hysteresi
s of charge vs. voltage (Q-V) relationship and capacitance vs. voltage
(C-V) relationship, including partial polarization switching by minor
voltage sweep. 2) characteristic time dependent polarization reversal
(switching) current.
