A thin TiNx interfacial layer (IL) at the Pt/Hf0.33Zr0.66O2 (HZO) interface enhances the 2Pr values (15.6 vs. 2.7 µC/cm2) at low ± 2.5 MV/cm as compared to w/o TiNx IL owing to higher o-phase fraction. The TiNx IL shows improved endurance (>109 cycles under ±4 MV/cm) and 10 years data retention owing to controlling amount of oxygen vacancy creation in HZO layer for future nanoscale non-volatile memory applications.
