[16p-Z26-4] Trade-off Between Crystallization-Annealing Temperature and Si Interface Properties in HfO2-based FeFETs
Keywords:Ferroelectric-gate FET (FeFET), Annealing, Interface properties
HfO2-based ferroelectric materials have been intensively investigated as gate insulators in FeFETs. It is known that an appropriate annealing process is important in stabilizing the ferroelectric phase in such ferroelectric materials. On the other hand, not only the ferroelectricity but also the interface properties with the semiconductor channel is critical to the FeFET device performance. In this study, we systematically investigate the impact of ferroelectric-phase crystalization annealing on the interface of Hr0.5Zr0.5O2/Si FeFETs and discuss the guideline on the annealing process for the FeFET fabrication.
