During ion etching (IE) processes used for making a Pt electrode in the fabrication of ferroelectric capacitors, the film is exposed to radiation and energetic ion bombardment. The influence of such processes on polarization-electric field characteristics of lead zirconate titanate thin film capacitor has been reported by E. G. Lee [Appl. Phys. Lett. 69, 1223 (1996)]. A large field shift and a constriction in the hysteresis loop are experimentally observed. For these authors, this behavior is probably due to the existence of space charges trapped near electrodes. For a better understanding of these phenomena, we have developed a model of ferroelectric capacitor based on the phenomenological Landau–Devonshire theory. A two-dimensional lattice of dipoles is assumed to describe the film. By solving Poisson’s equation, the electric-field distribution inside the film is calculated, which allows us to locally determine the evolution of the polarization by minimizing free energy. IE effects and probably the exis...
