Electrical Investigation of Wake-Up in High Endurance Fatigue-Free La and Y Doped HZO Meal-Ferroelectric-Metal Capacitors

Amey M. Walke et al.

Summary: High endurance of 10(11) cycles is demonstrated in Hafnium Zirconate (HZO) MFM capacitors with La and Y dopants. La doping offers higher remnant polarization than Y. Investigation of doped layers reveals that HZO is comprised of ferroelectric domains with internal built-in electric field-induced pinned coercive field. Doping increases the pinning effect and results in two distinct groups of antialigned ferroelectric domains. The wake-up process is attributed to the gradual depinning of the domains with bipolar electric pulses. Suppression of monoclinic phase is observed in doped layers that survive 10(11) cycles.

Steep-Slope Transistor with an Imprinted Antiferroelectric Film

Sangho Lee et al.

Summary: To stabilize the negative capacitance effect, the dielectric must be integrated into a heterostructure with a ferroelectric film. However, in multidomain hafnia, the charge boosting effect is reduced due to a lowering of the depolarization field at each domain, and operating voltage increases due to voltage division at the dielectric.

Ab initio interphase characteristics in HfO2 and ZrO2 and nucleation of the polar phase

Max Falkowski et al.

Summary: The crystallographic phases of HfO2 and ZrO2, including the polar phases, have been well characterized and total and free energies have been calculated. In this study, the focus was on the structure and energy of the crystalline coherent interface, also known as the interphase. Interphase energy for relevant phase pairs at T = 0 K was calculated using two methods, with results in good agreement. Additionally, a proposed temperature dependence of interphase energy suggests its decrease near phase transitions.

Antiferroelectric properties of ZrO2 ultra-thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition

Xuan Luo et al.

Summary: The ultrathin ZrO2 films exhibit excellent antiferroelectric properties with a thickness of 6nm and postmetallization annealing at 400 degrees C, attributed to the highest tetragonal phase ratio. However, antiferroelectric properties are relatively degraded in other thicknesses due to the large amounts of amorphous and monoclinic phases. Additionally, a higher postmetallization annealing temperature of 600 degrees C results in a larger remanent polarization for antiferroelectric ZrO2 films due to an increase in the ratio of the orthorhombic phase.
