H. Fujisawa et al., ELECTRICAL-PROPERTIES OF PZT THIN-FILMS GROWN ON IR IRO2 BOTTOM ELECTRODES BY MOCVD/, Integrated ferroelectrics (Print), 21(1-4), 1998, pp. 107-114
Electrical properties of Ir/IrO2/PZT/Ir/IrO2 and IrO2/IrPZT/Ir/IrO2 ca
pacitors were investigated. SIMS analysis showed that the Ir/IrO2 bott
om electrode acted as a good barrier layer of the interdiffusion. Ir/I
rO2/PZT/Ir/IrO2 capacitors did not show good electrical properties due
to plasma damage during top electrode sputtering. On the other hand,
IrO2/Ir/PZT/Ir/IrO2 capacitors showed no fatigue up to 10(9) cycles, w
hen annealing after top electrode deposition was performed. Electrical
properties of IrO2/Ir/PZT/Ir/IrO2 capacitors were dependent on the th
ickness of Ir/IrO2 bottom electrode. These experimental results sugges
ted that electrical properties of PZT capacitors were influenced by th
e interdiffusion at the bottom interface and the plasma damage at the
upper interface.
