Abstract
The stack structure tuning of the ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) devices is reported based on the ferroelectric (FE) layer thickness and interface layer (IL) type/thickness optimization to maximize the FTJ Ion/Ioffratio. A FE thickness scaling shows a low voltage FTJ operation, further challenged by a diminishing trend in the maximum Ion/Ioffratio due to the thickness dependence of the FE polarization, independent of the IL thickness. The maximum Ion/Ioffratio varies by tuning the IL type (SiO2, Al2O3) and thickness (1 nm, 2 nm), indicating a maximum at the SiO2(1 nm) IL condition. A stable endurance of 104cycles is limited by the high field/cycles induced IL degradation, a stable FTJ at 10y extrapolated retention time is shown. The FTJ synaptic device operation is reported with insight on the stack structure tunmg impact on the synaptic LTP/LTD nonlmeanty and maximum dynamic range.
