Abstract :
The ferroelectric properties of Pt/PZT/Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si thin film capacitors with different thicknesses are investigated. The degradation of the switching properties is fully reproduced by simulations including non ferroelectric space charge layers at both ferroelectric/electrode interfaces. Size effect is shown to arise from a mechanism of modulation of density and sign of the space charge.
