Ferroelectric devices have attracted intensive research in memory and logic applications due to their non‐volatility, scalability, and energy efficiency. As an emerging technology, the ferroelectric nanocrack device offers a simple and efficient way to manipulate the device resistance states with a high on/off ratio. Meanwhile, its complementary switching enables the construction of logic gates with a similar way as the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Here, it is demonstrated that the memory and logic functions can be realized by the same device structure with superior electrical performance, such as reliable metallic on‐state contacts, zero off‐state leakage current, and wide working temperature range (–110 to 150 °C). Moreover, the scaling performance has been investigated and the operating voltage can be reduced to average 2.5 V with device scaling down to sub‐micrometers. Following the scaling rule, the operating voltage can shrink largely to sub‐1 V at 100 nm nodes. In addition, the logic gates including NOT, 2:1 MUX, AND, and OR functions have been experimentally demonstrated. It is believed that this work can expand the scope of ferroelectronics and be applicable to logic‐in‐memory computing in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
