In order to study total dose radiation effects of PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) film m
ade with the pulsed excimer laser deposition (PLD) technique, hysteresis lo
ops and capacitance-voltage (C-V) curves of PZT film capacitors have been m
easured before and after gamma-ray irradiation. The results show that, in a
range of 0-2 x 10(5) Gy (Si), with increasing total dose, the remanent pol
arization 2P(r) increased while dielectric constant epsilon decreased. This
can be explained by charges trapped by some defects during irradiation.
