Impact of vacancies and impurities on ferroelectricity in PVD- and ALD-grown HfO2 films

Lutz Baumgarten et al.

Summary: This study investigates the emerging chemical states of TiN/HfO2/TiN capacitors, identifying different mechanisms of oxygen vacancy formation and electronic interactions between oxygen vacancies and nitrogen impurities in the HfO2 layers. Spectral features of HfO2 and TiN core levels are consistently observed by HAXPES, and the results are linked to electric field cycling experiments on the capacitors to discuss possible formation mechanisms and stabilization of the ferroelectric HfO2 phase under specific PVD or ALD conditions.

Wake-up and fatigue mechanisms in ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films with symmetric RuO2 electrodes

Shelby S. Fields et al.

Summary: The study investigated the mechanisms leading to wake-up and fatigue in ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide thin film devices with symmetric RuO2 electrodes. It was found that wake-up involves transformations from the tetragonal to the orthorhombic phase and domain depinning, while fatigue is primarily driven by domain pinning. The near-zero measured switchable polarization in fatigued devices indicates the presence of immobile domains.

Metal Nitride Electrode Stress and Chemistry Effects on Phase and Polarization Response in Ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 Thin Films

Shelby S. Fields et al.

Summary: The stability of ferroelectric phase in hafnium oxide is influenced by factors such as composition, biaxial stress, crystallite size, and oxygen vacancies. The study reveals that post-processing stress states of HZO films do not depend on the stress of the adjacent TaN electrodes, and a chemical interaction between TaN and HZO layers impacts the ferroelectric phase stability and polarization performance. It is essential to consider electrode processing and chemistry in the performance of ferroelectric hafnia films.
