Keywords:Oxide semiconductor, FE-capacitor, Embedded memory
The proximity of high-density memory to processor core has become more and more important for the last level cache in the conventional architecture and for machine-learning accelerator in AI chip. Recently, oxide semiconductor such as InGaZnO (IGZO) [1-3] has been attracting attentions because transistors can be placed in BEOL layers thanks to its low temperature process. High-density and energy-efficient embedded memory system can be achieved by integrating both access transistor and memory element in BEOL layers. Integration of oxide semiconductor FET and FE-HfO2 can be a feasible approach for 3D embedded RAM application such as eDRAM and FeRAM [4-5]. In this work, we introduce Sn-doped IGZO (IGZTO) [7], develop and integrate FET and FE-capacitor (FE-cap) and demonstrate 1T1C operation. We discuss the impact of IGZTO FET on 1T1C cell and the physics of mobility enhancement.
