Description
Résumé:The discovery of ferroelectricity in HfO<sub>2</sub> thin film, which is compatible with the CMOS process, has revived interest in ferroelectric memory devices. HfO<sub>2</sub> has been found to exhibit high ferroelectricity at a few nanometers thickness, and studies have rapidly progressed in the past decade. Ferroelectricity can be induced in HfO<sub>2</sub> by various deposition methods and heat treatment processes. By combining ferroelectric materials with field-effect transistors, devices that combine logic and memory functions can be implemented. Ferroelectric HfO<sub>2</sub>-based devices show high potential, but there are some challenges to overcome in endurance and characterization. In this paper, we discuss the fabrication and characteristics of ferroelectric HfO<sub>2</sub> film and various applications, including negative capacitance (NC)), Ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM), Ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ), and Ferroelectric Field-effect Transistor (FeFET).
