Abstract
Electrical conduction mechanisms for Pt/(Ba0.5Sr0.5)TiO3 (BST)/Pt, IrO2/BST/IrO2, and Pt/BST/IrO2 capacitors were studied. The Pt/BST/Pt capacitor shows a Schottky emission behavior with interface potential barrier heights of about 1.5–1.6 eV. The barrier height is largely determined by the surface electron trap states of the BST. The IrO2/BST interface shows an ohmic contact nature due to the elimination of the surface trap states as the result of the formation of strong chemical bonds between the IrO2 and BST which results in the Poole–Frenkel emission conduction mechanism. Pt/BST/IrO2 capacitor shows Schottky emission behavior and a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) effect depending on the bias polarity. The electron trap states at the Pt/BST interface and the positive space charges within the carrier depletion layer result in the PTCR effect.
