This research proposes a novel device concept called Mott-FeFET, which aims to replace the Silicon channel of FeFET with VO2 to achieve low-voltage and energy-efficient non-volatile memory solutions.
Ferroelectrics offer a promising material platform to realize energy-efficient non-volatile memory technology with the FeFET-based implementations being one of the most area-efficient ferroelectric memory architectures. However, the FeFET operation entails a fundamental trade-off between the read and the program operations. To overcome this trade-off, we propose in this work, a novel device concept, Mott-FeFET, that aims to replace the Silicon channel of the FeFET with VO2- a material that exhibits an electrically driven insulator-metal phase transition. The Mott-FeFET design, which demonstrates a (ferroelectric) polarization-dependent threshold voltage, enables the read current distinguishability (i.e., the ratio of current sensed when the Mott-FeFET is in state 1 and 0, respectively) to be independent of the program voltage. This enables the device to be programmed at low voltages without affecting the ability to sense/read the state of the device. Our work provides a pathway to realize low-voltage and energy-efficient non-volatile memory solutions.
