Abstract: We have investigated the potential distribution on barium titanate thin filius with ail atomic force microscope in contact mode to find answers to the important question of local electric conductivity. A detailed knowledge about the electrical transport mechanisms is very important to receive a sound operation for highly integrated circuits such as non-volatile memory cells. With this paper we present an advanced method to perform these potential scans in galvanic contact. Key element of the set-up is an optimized electrometer amplifier which has an electronically reduced input capacitance avoiding the work function influence on the surface potential scan. To demonstrate the capability of our set-up we present example measurements performed on thermally reduced BaTiO3 thin films. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
