Abstract

This study investigates low-frequency noise (LFN) and random telegraph noise (RTN) characteristics of hafnium-zirconium oxide (HZO) ferroelectric field-effect transistors with recessed channels (R-FeFETs) from a reliability analysis perspective. As the delay time increases after the program (PGM), the threshold voltage (

${V}_{\text {TH}}\text {)}$

is shifted by trapped electron detrapping and does not saturate. From LFN measurement, it is revealed that the origin of 1/f noise in the R-FeFETs is carrier number fluctuation. RTN is also observed with a distinct corner frequency (

${f}_{\text {c}}~\approx ~480$

Hz). It is confirmed that the trap is distributed locally at the DE/FE interface (z

$\approx ~1.5$

nm) due to the structural specificity of R-FeFETs, resulting in RTN. The results of this work provide valuable insight for understanding the reliability issue of R-FeFETs.

嵌入式沟道铁电场效应晶体管的低频噪声特性

本研究从可靠性分析的角度研究了具有凹槽的氧化铪-氧化锆（HZO）铁电场效应晶体管（R-FeFET）的低频噪声（LFN）和随机电报噪声（RTN）特性。随着编程（PGM）后延迟时间的增加，阈值电压（${V}_{text {TH}\text {）}$会因电子脱困而发生偏移，并且不会达到饱和。通过 LFN 测量发现，R-FeFET 中 1/f 噪声的起源是载流子数量波动。同时还观察到 RTN 有一个明显的角频率（${f}_{text {c}}~approx ~480$ Hz）。研究证实，由于 R-FeFET 结构的特殊性，陷阱局部分布在 DE/FE 界面（z $\approx ~1.5$ nm），从而导致了 RTN。这项工作的结果为理解 R-FeFET 的可靠性问题提供了宝贵的见解。
