Abstract

Different nonvolatile memory concepts are competing for urgently needed low-power, high-speed solutions. Among them, a capacitor-based FeRAM using ferroelectric HfO2 is reviving the possibilities of FeRAM due to the simple integration possibilities of the material in high aspect ratio capacitor structures, its known properties in semiconductor production, and the lead-free nature of the material. In this chapter, the basic realization of the capacitor-based FeRAM memory cell is summarized. Based on this, the specific aspects of integrating ferroelectric HfO2, including the electrical field cycling and reliability performance of the device, are discussed. In addition, scaling advantages compared to formerly PZT-based FeRAM and current DRAM devices are examined.
