Metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) C-V properties with high dielectric AIN thin films showed no hysteresis and good interface properties. The dielectric constant of the AIN film calculated from the capacitance at the accumulation region in the capacitance-voltage(C-V) characteristics was about 8. The C-V characteristics of MFIS capacitor showed a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the LiNbO$_3$ thin films. Typical dielectric constant value of LiNbO$_3$ film of MFIS device was about 23. The memory window width was about 1.2V at the gate voltage of $\pm$5 V ranges. Typical gate leakage current density of the MFIS structure was the order of 10$^{-9}$ A/cm$^2$ at the range of within $\pm$500 kV/cm. The ferroelectric capacitors showed no polarization degradation up to about 10$^{11}$ switching cycles when subjected to symmetric bipolar voltage pulse(peak-to-peak 8V, 50% duty cycle) in the 500kHz.

Sawyer-tower 회로를 이용한 강유전 이력곡선의 측정과정에서의 주요 오차 원인을 살펴보고 이에 대한 대안을 제시해 보았다. 강유전체 시편에 존재하는 직류 누설성분에 의해 잔류분극과 항전계는 과대평가될 수 있는 위험성이 항상 있음을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 오차의 보정에 대하여 논의하였다. 또한 강유전 이력곡선의 측정에서 측정하는 시간이 증가되면서 시편의 발열로 인해서 시편의 온도가 증가하게 되어 잔류분극 값과 항전계 값이 감소하는 경향으로 나타남을 관찰하였고, 그 대책을 제안하였다.

In this study, we suggested the model to precisely evaluate the ferroelectric hysteresis loop, using the modified Sawyer-Tower circuit and the ferroelectric capacitor with a MDFM(Metal-Dielectric-ferroelectric-Metal) structure. The mathematical expression of dipole polarization is applied to the numerical integration algorithm, and the fatigue property can be considered including the dielectric layer between ferroelectrics and bottom electrode. The validity of our model is proved comparing the estimated value of our model and the measured results of PLT(10) thin film.

Dielectric hysteresis characteristics of Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramics have been investigated as a function of the amount of MnO2 addition ranged from 0.0 wt% in Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramics enhanced the dielectric strength, aging effect and remanent polarization, while reduced the coercive field. These results could be explained by the effect of Mn-Vo association due to the substitution of Mn for the (Zr, Ti) site in PZT.

Energy storage capacitors based on dielectric ceramics with superior polarization properties and dielectric constant can provide much higher output power density due to their very fast energy charging/discharging rates, which are particularly suitable for operating pulsed-power devices. For an outstanding energy storage performance of dielectric capacitor, a large recoverable energy density could be derived by introducing a slim polarization-electric field hysteresis loop into dielectric materials by various technical approaches. Many research teams have explored various dielectric capacitor technologies to demonstrate high output power density and ultrafast charging/discharging behavior. This article reviews the recent research progress in high-performance dielectric capacitors for pulsed-power electronic applications.

The $(Pb_{0.9}Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$[PCT] thin films have been deposited by sol-gel processing on Si-wafer and ITO glass substrates. The creak-free films have been obtained by rapid thermal annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10 minute and characterized by XRD, SEM and electrical measurements. Their tetragonality c/a was 1.041 and grain size was $0.15{\sim}0.2{\mu}m$. When the electrode system of sample was Au/PCT/ITO(MFM) and film thickness was $0.8{\mu}m$, dielectric constant, dielectric loss and Curie temperature were about 149, 0.085 and $449^{\circ}C$ at 10kHz, respectively. Spontaneous polarization $P_s$, remnant polarization $P_r$ and coercive field $E_c$ were about $5.29{\mu}C/cm^2$, $4.15{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 82kV/cm calculated by hysteresis loop.

$BaTiO_3$ thin films preferred c-axis orientation for the potential application of ferroelectric memory devices were deposited on silicon substrates(100) by RF sputtering and annealed at 800 and 900[$^{\circ}C$] in air. The BT(100)/BT(110) peak ratio of the sputtered sample was decreased with post-annealing in air. According to increasing with annealing temperature and time, the peak ratio of BT(100)/BT(110) was decreased and the surface density of thin film was high. Dielectric characteristics of $BaTiO_3$ thin film was measured as a function of annealing temperature and frequency. The dielectric constants were increased with annealing and decreased with frequency by space charge polarization and dipole polarization below 600[kHz]. The remanent polarization and coercive field in P-E hysteresis loop of $BaTiO_3$thin film were increased with the annealing temperature in air. The remanent polarization and coercive filed annealed at 800[$^{\circ}C$] for 1hr were 1.2[$\mu$C/$cm^2$] and 200[kV/cm]

In this study, PLZT stock solutions were prepared by Sol-Gel processing after the compositions were selected in the memory region of PLZT bulk phase diagram. PLZT solutions were deposited on the ITO glass substrate by spin-coating method. The thin films were annealed by rapid thermal processing. The electric characteristics, hysteresis loop, C-V characteristics of thin films in the memory region were measured in order to investigate the electrical characteristics of PLZT thin films. In selected compositions the decrease in Zr/Ti ratio led to an increase in dielectric constant and the decrease in remanent polarization and coercieve field which brought about slim hysteresis loop.

The observe relaxation phenomena and freezing behavior in Pb(Mg/sub ⅓/Nb/sub ⅔/O₃, relaxor ferroelectrics, weak electric-field properties as well as strong electric-field properties were investigated. The temperature dependence of the dielectric properties obtained using the low electric-field of 1 V/w was investigated. The dielectric properties obtained from the slope of the dielectric hysteresis loop and the temperature dependence of the pyroelectric properties were also investigated. When fitting all the experimental data with the Vogel-Filcher relation, a close agreement between the experimental data and equation was observed. The freezing temperature could be consistently calculated by the various methods.
