Abstract
The metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) structures with a strained (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BST) thin film have been prepared. Strained BST films represented memory function although BST is at a paraelectric composition. Electrical and interface properties was further studied using high-frequency capacitance-voltage (HF C-V) measurement. Strained BST showed the hysteresis of 0.6 V in HF C-V. DC bias voltage stress results in the asymmetric shift of a flat-band voltage affected by polarization pinning. The polarization pinning in the strained BST film is caused by the bounded charges injected from Si. This polarization pinning reduced polarization reversal and further caused the asymmetric shift of the flatband voltage.
