In this study, the influence of TiO2 seed layers in ferroelectric capacitors with HfZrOx (HZO) solid-solution and HfO2/ZrO2 superlattice structures has been explored. HfO2/ZrO2 superlattice structure exhibits well ferroelectricity at a low annealing temperature for crystallization below 300 oC. The back-end-of-line (BEOL) compatible HfO2/ZrO2 superlattice ferroelectric thin film with 1 nm TiO2 seed layer exhibits outstanding remnant polarization 2Pr ~ 51.4 µC/cm2 with low coercive field Ec of 0.9 MV/cm at 3 MV/cm, reduced the operating voltage to 1.2 V, and demonstrating stable endurance larger than 109 cycles.
