Effects of High-Pressure Annealing on the Low-Frequency Noise Characteristics in Ferroelectric FET

Wonjun Shin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the low-frequency noise (LFN) characteristics of hafnium-zirconium oxide (HZO) ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) with and without high-pressure forming gas annealing (HPA) treatment. The origin of 1/f noise in the FeFET without HPA changes from carrier number fluctuation to Hooge's mobility fluctuation after wake-up due to remote phonon scattering from the polarized HZO. Additionally, the Hooge's parameter is increased by program/erase (P/E) cycling-induced stress. On the other hand, only correlated mobility fluctuation is increased after wake-up in the FeFET with HPA. Furthermore, the LFN of the FeFET with HPA exhibits robustness to P/E cycling-induced stress after wake-up, demonstrating superb endurance performance.

Subhajit Ghosh et al.

Summary: This study investigates low-frequency current fluctuations and noise characteristics in the semiconductor FePS3 with an electronic bandgap of 1.5 eV. The results show that the noise spectral density varies with temperature and reveals different features, while the Lorentzian corner frequencies show significant dependence on temperature and bias voltage, indicating a more complex origin of noise compared to conventional semiconductors. These findings are important for potential applications of antiferromagnetic semiconductors in spintronic devices and demonstrate the power of noise spectroscopy in monitoring various phase transitions.
