摘要
Epitaxial ferroelectric PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) thin film capacitors with SrRuO3 (SRO) bottom electrodes have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition on LaAlO3 (001) substrates. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that epitaxial heterostructures with a high crystalline quality were obtained. Ferroelectric capacitors were defined by thermal evaporation of aluminium contact pads onto the PZT films. Remnant polarizations of about 13 mu C/cm(2) and coercive fields of about 150 kV/cm are obtained at a frequency of 10 Hz. The capacitors show very little fatigue of the remnant polarization with cumulative switching. A tendency to imprint, arising from the use of asymmetric electrodes, is observed.
