Abstract :
High-performance models are required during the design (phase) of sensing devices in order to take their physical behavior into account and to include these models in calculations and simulations aimed at optimizing the performance of devices in fixed operating conditions. In this paper, the problem of model fitting for ferroelectric devices is addressed; in particular, a model of the behavior of a ferroelectric capacitor is accomplished. The static behavior of such devices is investigated, and an experimental setup for both characterization and model estimation is proposed. The model obtained is assessed, and the uncertainty introduced by the measurement system is estimated
