PZT (lead zirconium titanat) is mainly known as ferroelectric material with a high dielectric permittivity and bistable polarization states, which leads to its application in actuators, nonvolatile memories and pyroelectric infrared sensors. Besides this, PZT is a semiconducting material with a band gap of 3.5 eV. The electrical investigation of the semiconducting properties, however, is difficult, because the typical dependencies are hidden behind the larger ferroelectric effects. In this work, we have shown that it is possible to prepare PZT thin films, which are semiconductive and not ferroelectric. The electrical properties of these films have been studied with various methods. From C(V)-curves, it was derived that the prepared PZT films are p-doped. The stability of the material was investigated with time dependent current spectroscopy.
