Abstract
This letter deals with the electrical and wideband frequency characterizations of metal-insulator-metal capacitors integrating medium-?? material, ZrO2. In particular, this letter focuses on the frequency effect on the voltage linearity of these capacitors and material. The dependence of the voltage-capacitance coefficient (VCC) ?? is, for the first time, studied from 1 kHz to 1 GHz. Intrinsic or extrinsic material origin of the VCC are discussed.
