Abstract
Degradation of ferroelectricity in PZT (Pb(Zr-0.52, Ti-0.48)O-3) thin- film capacitors caused by heat treatment in a reductive ambience is in vestigated. We have found that the degradation of ferroelectricity dep ends upon the metal used for the top electrode of the PZT capacitor. T he increased degradation in the case of a PZT capacitor with Pt electr odes can be explained by a catalytic reaction on the Pt surface. With the use of an IrO2 non-catalytic top electrode, we have made the ferro electricity of an IrO2/PZT/Pt capacitor retained even after the H-2 an nealing at 400 degrees C, or above.
