Abstract
In this letter, we demonstrate 8 nm and 5 nm lanthanum-doped $Hf_{{0}.{5}}$ $Zr_{{0}.{5}}$ O2 (La:HZO) films with excellent ferroelectric and robust reliability at high temperature for the first time. A low saturated operating voltage of 1.2 V and high breakdown field of 9 MV/cm are obtained in 5 nm La:HZO films at the same time. A high endurance of ${3}\times {10} ^{{11}}$ at room temperature and $10^{{10}}$ at high temperature of $125~^{\circ }$ C is obtained in 5 nm La:HZO films, owing to the superior low Eop/Ebd. Furthermore, we demonstrate a top-gate FeFET on La:In2O3 channel with a channel length of 50 nm, demonstrating superior high endurance of ${3}\times {10} ^{{11}}$ with a memory window (MW) of 0.9 V at room temperature and $10^{{10}}$ with a memory window of 0.9 V at high temperature of $125~^{\circ }$ C. Besides, our FeFETs exhibit excellent retention exceeding 10 years at $125~^{\circ }$ C, showing the great potential of La:HZO for high-reliability ferroelectric applications.
