Recently, ferroelectric-HfO₂ FET memories have attracted more attentions, because of its good CMOS compatibility, non-destructive readout, low power consumption and high program/erase speed. Among several FeFETs, oxide-semiconductor channel FeFET is a promising candidate for memory and neuromorphic applications, thanks to BEOL-compatible process and high endurance. However, the memory operation is affected by the floating body channel and the availability of minority carriers of oxide-semiconductor. Thus, memory characteristic of oxide-semiconductor FeFET is significantly dependent of the device structure, which has not been discussed in detail, yet.
In this paper, we investigated four structures of FE-HfO2 FET by TCAD simulation including single gate planar, gate planar, nanowire and macaroni structures. Channel thickness and channel length dependence of memory window for each structure are compared and discussed.
