Abstract:A measurement technique is presented to quantify the polarization loss in ferroelectric thin films as a function of delay time during the first 100s after switching. This technique can be used to investigate charge trapping in ferroelectric thin films by analyzing the magnitude and rate of polarization loss.Exemplary measurements have been performed on Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) and HZO/Al2O3 films, as a function of pulse width and temperature. It is found that the competing effects of the depolarization field, intern… Show more
