发明名称 Modeling of ferroelectric capacitors to include local statistical variations of ferroelectric properties
摘要 Simulation of an electronic circuit including a model of a ferroelectric capacitor. The model of the ferroelectric capacitor includes a multi-domain ferroelectric capacitor, in which each of the domains is associated with a positive and a negative coercive voltage. A probability distribution function of positive and negative coercive voltages is defined, from which a weighting function of the distribution of domains having those coercive voltages is defined. To create a model of a small ferroelectric capacitor, a Poisson probability distribution is assigned to each of an array of gridcells defining the probability distribution function of positive and negative coercive voltages, and a number of domains assigned to each gridcell is randomly selected according to that Poisson distribution and an expected number of domains in the modeled capacitor for that gridcell, based on the area of the modeled capacitor. The electrical behavior of the ferroelectric capacitor is evaluated by evaluating the superposed polarization of each of the randomly selected domains.
