“…Ferroelectric HfO 2 is extensively characterized in standard device structures such as MFM, MFS, and metal–ferroelectric–insulator–semiconductor (MFIS). There are several reports in the literature describing the properties of HZO films at various ZrO 2 concentrations in classic MFM structures including the now well-established FE-AFE transition. ,,, By increasing the ZrO 2 concentration, the permittivity of the film is increased, and the thermal processing temperature required is expected to decrease as ZrO 2 has a lower crystallization and transition temperature than HfO 2 . ,, Another promising property for AFE-based memories are relatively low coercive fields E C , enabling lower operating voltages, leading to reduced power consumption and electrical stress, as well as better endurance compared to purely ferroelectric HZO. − In this work, we study HZO-based ferroelectric MFS and MFIS capacitors on InAs with varying ZrO 2 concentrations, where we focus on the FE-AFE transition and the electrical properties, comparing it with that of standard MFM structures. An interfacial layer (IL) of approximately 1.2 nm-thin Al 2 O 3 between the HZO and InAs is included as an insulator in the MFIS structure and compared alongside the MFS devices.…”
