We studied the photoresponse of Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 (PZT) thin films by measuring the current–voltage (I–V) curve at several ferroelectric polarization states illuminated by a monochromatic 3.5 eV UV light. The photocurrent in Pt/PZT/Pt capacitors was sensitive to the polarization state, and the poling voltage-dependent photocurrent showed very asymmetric hysteresis behavior. The capacitance that is dependent upon the thickness of the samples was first measured. Then, the capacitance of the interfacial layer at a state with no interdiffusion between Pt and PZT film was extrapolated by using an equivalent circuit model. The result of the extrapolation was 28.1 μF/cm2.
