In order to investigate the electronic characteristics of ferroelectric thin films that behave as semiconductors, we derive an equation to calculate the band bending in ferroelectrics, to replace the Poisson equation. We find that the space-charge density term, icons/Journals/Common/rho" ALT="rho" ALIGN="TOP"/> , in the Poisson equation should be replaced by icons/Journals/Common/rho" ALT="rho" ALIGN="TOP"/> - icons/Journals/Common/nabla" ALT="nabla" ALIGN="TOP"/> P r , where P r is the remanent polarization. In order to simplify the band bending calculation, only one dimension is considered here. For example, in the case of the 3 V band bending in a metal-semiconductor Schottky barrier junction with a 1 µm thick ferroelectric semiconductor, the depletion region extends over the whole semiconductor, even with a dielectric constant of 10 and a donor density of 1 × 1017 cm-3 due to dP r /dx . However, the depletion layer width in a semiconductor without remanent polarization is only about 0.18 µm under the same conditions.
