Abstract

LaNiO3 thin films were utilized as metallic contact layers in ferroelectric capacitors. The LaNiO3 films were probably epitaxial when deposited atop (100) LaAlO3 substrates. They exhibited metallic resistivity over a wide range of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. Subsequent deposition of PZT and LaNiO3 thin films atop LaNiO3/LaAlO3 allowed realization of parallel-plate ferroelectric capacitor structures. The suitability of such devices for nonvolatile memory applications was surveyed through pulsed voltage testing. The observed 1-second remanent polarization exceeded 18 μC/cm2. Long-term memory was demonstrated for up to sixteen hours. No decrease in remanent polarization was apparent after more than 109 switching cycles.
