Abstract
High-performance flexible HfO2-based ferroelectric devices with low thermal budget are essential for the large-scale integration and application of flexible electronic systems. In this work, the ferroelectricity of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) devices under a low annealing temperature of 400°C was enhanced by stress effect. Compared with Si-based HZO devices, flexible HZO devices exhibit a higher remanent polarization (Pr) value of $28.5~\mu $ C/cm2 and superior endurance, with only a 5.6% degradation in Pr after 1010 cycles. Furthermore, the flexible HZO devices were annealed under bending, resulting in an increased Pr value of $31.4~\mu $ C/cm2 and a reduced coercive field (2Ec) of 2.6 MV/cm. This work provides effective technical support for achieving high-performance flexible HZO devices.
