Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

A determination of the Schottky barrier height at the interface between ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films and Pt by photoelectron spectroscopy is presented. Stepwise Pt deposition was performed in situ onto a contamination-free Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin film surface. The substrate surface is reduced in the course of Pt deposition as evident from the observation of metallic Pb. The Fermi level is found at EF − EVB = 1.6 ± 0.1 eV above the valence band maximum of the as-prepared interface. Annealing of the sample in an oxygen pressure of 0.1 and 1 Pa strongly reduces the amount of metallic Pb and leads to a reduction in the Fermi level position at the interface to EF − EVB = 1.1 ± 0.1 eV. Storage in vacuum at room temperature strongly reduces the interface leading to a significantly higher Fermi level position (EF − EVB = 2.2 ± 0.1 eV). The reduction is attributed to the presence of hydrogen in the residual gas. The change in barrier height might be a severe issue for stable device operation with Pt contacts even at ambient temperatures.
