Praseodymium based dielectric thin films have been deposited by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). The Weibull slope and the characteristic time of the dielectric breakdown (BD) have been determined at nanometer scale by conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). An anomalous behaviour for the dielectric BD has been found. Its physical behaviour has been described taking into account the electrical properties investigated by nanoscopic measurements performed by scanning capacitance ...
