However, realization of high performance devices has not been achieved due to degradation problems for the PZT films, such as fatigue and imprinting. The degradation is caused by crystal defects in the films, however, properties of the defects have not yet been sufficiently clarified. We have therefore attempted to investigate crystal defects in PZT films by thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements. Current peaks due to the defects were detected in the measurements, and the origin of the observed defects was identified by systematic evaluation. It was revealed that the activation energy of the TSC peaks ranged from 0.75 eV to 0.95 eV, and the peaks were related to PbOx defects at the interface between the electrodes and the PZT layer.","PeriodicalId":321007,"journal":{"name":"2007 Sixteenth IEEE International Symposium on the Applications of Ferroelectrics","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132938031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dielectric constant, remanent polarization, and coercive field values of the film irradiated by the CO2 laser at an annealing temperature of 850degC increased with increasing the film thickness region of 5 to 30 mum.
