Herein, the gamma-ray irradiation effect on ferroelectric HfAlO(x)capacitors for biomedical and space applications is investigated. The experimental results focus on the observation of ferroelectric polarization characteristics in support of different defect mechanisms induced by annealing, endurance cycling, and gamma-ray irradiation. It is found that the HfAlO(x)with low Al doping of 6.5% become more vulnerable to radiation exposure, but a remarkable improvement in 9%-Al-doped HfAlO(x)due to less oxygen vacancies is demonstrated. In addition, the results also confirm that the fatigue property of ferroelectric HfAlO(x)capacitor is determined by the electric-stress-induced defect during endurance cycling, not mainly contributed by irradiation damage, which shows the potential for memory applications in rigorous irradiation environment.

We demonstrated that the 2.5nm-thick HfAO(x) N-type NCFET based on defect-passivated multidomain switching can achieve a minimum 9 mV/dec subthreshold swing (SS), a negligible hysteresis of 1 mV, an ultralow I-off of 135 fA/mu m, a large I-on/I-off ratio of 8.7x 10(7) and a sub-60 mV/dec SS over 5 decade. For P-type NCFET, the non-hysteretic steep-slope switch is still reached under the synergistic effect of gate stress, defect passivation and doping engineering. The Al doping and defect passivation play the key role for reducing trap-related leakage, enhancing NC, and stabilizing multidomain switching. The highly scaled HfAlOx. CMOS NCFET shows the potential for low power logic applications.

In this work, we demonstrated that the 5-nm-thick HfAlOx negative capacitance transistor (NCFET) with optimized Al doping can achieve a minimum 33 mV dec(-1) subthreshold swing (SS), an ultralow l(off) of 7.44 fA mu m(-1), and a high l(on)//l(off) ratio of 1.9 x 10(8). The NC switching with sub-60 mV dec(-1) SS can be implemented from V-DS - 0.2 V to 0.8 V due to an ultralow off-state leakage current. The experimental results reveal that well-controlled Al doping in HfAlOx not only reduces off-state leakage of the transistor, but also improves the ferroelectric NC effect to achieve a sub-60 mV dec-1 switching under a favorably low sub-1 voltage. This scaled HfAlOx NCFET with optimized Al doping and fluorine defect passivation shows the great potential for the application of low power logic devices.

In this study, we reported a hybrid multi-PNPN channel junctionless field effect transistor (JLFET) with negative capacitance (NC) effect by simulation. By incorporating a ferroelectric HfAlO capacitor with NC effect, an extremely low subthreshold swing of 34 mVdecade, a very high onoff current ratio and a very low driven voltage were achieved in the NC-enhanced hybrid multi-PNPN channel JLFET. This novel device not only improves the on-state current reduction while channel scaling down, but also shows great potential for the next-generation low-power three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit applications.

In this paper, we experimentally demonstrated the advantage of remote nitrogen plasma on improving interface quality of HfO2-based ferroelectric devices. The remote nitrogen plasma not only reduces leakage current of gate stack to appropriately sustain the ferroelectricity during ferroelectric domain switching, but also effectively improve the ferroelectric fatigue to enhance endurance cycling performance.

In this paper, the ferroelectric polarization effect of ZrO2 capping layer on HfO2 NUM capacitor was investigated. Based on crystallinity analysis, the phase transformation from monoclinic to orthorhombic phase in HfO2 film can be induced by a thin ZrO2 capping layer. The thickness of ZrO2 capping layer plays an important role in the ferroelectric polarization of HfO2 MFM capacitor. Compared to mixed HfZrO film, the stacked ZrO2/HfO2 film shows the advantage for suppressing the leakage issue during high-temperature ferroelectric phase transition.

In this work, we successfully demonstrated the 9.6-nm-thick HfAlOx ferroelectric memory using light aluminium doping of 6.5% to form ferroelectric orthorhombic phase. Compared to ferroelectric HfZrOx film with zirconium diffusion issue, the HfAlOx film showed excellent thermal stability under high temperature annealing. Besides, the ferroelectric HfAlOx also exhibited robust polarization characteristics under endurance cycling test. A > 10(6) stressed cycles with 4 MV/cm can be measured and a long endurance was sustained over 5 x 10(7) cycles under 3.6 MV/cm. Therefore, the HfAlOx film showed the great promise for integrating in high performance ferroelectric memory with thermal budget concerns.

In this work, we comprehensively investigated the metal-electrode stress engineering on HfAlO metal-ferroelectric-metal capacitor. According to experimental results, we confirm that high-nitrogen tantalum-nitride electrode with good chemical stability not only mitigates the anti-ferroelectric property and gate leakage current, but also improves the wake-up effect and endurance cycling characteristics, which shows the great potential for future applications of low-power ferroelectric memories.

In this work, we successfully achieve a hysteresis-free negative capacitance field effect transistors (NCFETs) by exploiting a defect passivation scheme. This research work simultaneously provides a new insight into the gate-oxide stress reliability of NCFET. The fluorine-passivated HfAlOx NCFET shows the excellent transistor characteristics including a steep subthreshold swing of sub-30-mV/dec, a negligible hysteresis-free switch of similar to 10mV and a large on/off current reatio (I-on/I-off) of >10(7). Most importantly, fluorine passivation for NC HfAlOx effectively suppress the generation of shallow traps during electrical stress test. Besides, it is favorable to maintain NC operation and SILC immunity by in-situ fluorine passivation, which has been verified by transient pulse I-V measurement.

In this work, it is demonstrated that the negative capacitance effect of ferroelectric Hf1-xZrxO2 transistor is highly correlated with Zr doping concentration. A steep subthreshold swing of 40mV/decade, a low off-state leakage current of 190fAm(-1), and a large on/off current ratio of >10(7) can be simultaneously achieved in optimized negative capacitance Hf1-xZrxO2 transistor. Besides, the Zr diffusion issue and non-ferroelectric phases significantly affect the multi-domain switching of polycrystalline Hf1-xZrxO2. Therefore, an appropriate amount of Zr substitution is more favorable for both boosting ferroelectric and implementing the negative capacitance switch.
