Abstract

Spatial variation and switching behavior in ferroelectric capacitors were discussed. Piezoresponse force microscopy was used. Results showed that the inner regions of the capacitors show a strong tendency to negative imprint and the variations are a result of a complex combination of mechanical stress and electric-field effects.
