Abstract

Hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) is a promising material for ferroelectric non-volatile memory devices as it has low crystalline temperatures and hence is back-end-of-line compatible, is complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology compatible (CMOS) as well as offers thickness scalability advantages. Here, we study the insertion of the SiO2 and Al2O3 interface layers in ferroelectric HZO-based MFM capacitors in terms of ferroelectric behavior. By using such interface layers, an outstanding 2Pr value of around 60 μC/cm2 can be achieved.
