The superior and stable ferroelectric properties of HZO films deposited via ALD were demonstrated for the first time without a post-thermal process, which can be applied to ferroelectric devices where process temperature constraints are required.
complementarymetal-oxide-semiconductor processes, which are very advantageous in terms of device design and fabrication. [2] For this reason, the use of HfO 2 -based ferroelectric thin films in the field of nonvolatile ferroelectric memories such as ferroelectric-field effect transistors, ferroelectric-ramdom acess memory, neuromorphic devices, [3][4][5][6][7] energy storage capacitors [8] and piezoelectric devices [9] are receiving great interest. Specifically, highperformance, nonvolatile ferroelectric memory, and neuromorphic applications require high remanent polarization (P r ) characteristics to achieve a large memory window and a uniform level of ferroelectric properties over multiple operating cycles for the high-reliability characteristics of the memory device.

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.
