Modeling ferroelectric capacitors based on the dipole switching theory

In this paper, we derived a compact model for the description of the P - E hysteresis behavior based on the dipole switching theory. Simulation results show good agreement with the experiment for various hysteresis loops, and the mathematical description can be easily combined with an electronic design automation software for circuit simulation. Therefore, the model can be used for both circuit simulation and providing better intuition for the ferroelectric material behavior.
