Hafnia-based ferroelectrics、reliability、imprint

Hafnia-based ferroelectrics have strongly revitalized the field of ferroelectric memory, because of the superior ferroelectric properties in thin films and high compatibility with the Si CMOS platform. However, reliability issues such as wake-up, fatigue, and imprint need to be satisfactorily resolved for actual applications. Among them, the imprint effect is an important issue because it could cause serious retention or write failure problems. Here, many models such as charge injection, charge movement, and oxygen vacancy diffusion have been proposed as the physical origin of imprint. In this work, we applied an additional electric field (Eh) to HZO MFM capacitors during holding time and obtained evidence that charge injection/de-trapping near the MF interface can take an important role in imprint.
