By loading MF into the waveguide type slow wave structure (SWS), the frequency-selective transmission properties of MF can confine the operating mode in the SWS, while the nonoperating modes are transmitted out. Therefore, the amplitude of HOMs is limited, even if synchronization conditions are met, thereby, the risk of HOM oscillation is reduced. Taking the staggered double grating slow wave structure (SDG-SWS) as an example, the effectiveness of the strategy was verified. In addition, MF is easy to manufacture, which makes it have promising applications in high-power and high-frequency THz amplifiers.","PeriodicalId":13198,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electron Device Letters","volume":"45 11","pages":"2189-2192"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142222899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This letter investigates the impact of multi-domain dynamics in the ferroelectric gate dielectric on FeFET scalability. Coupled solutions of 2-D Poisson’s equation with the ferroelectric’s 2-D thermodynamics model (depolarizing energy + gradient energy + free energy) are the basis of a phase-field model. Varying ferroelectric and dielectric layer thicknesses can be used to engineer domain density. Minimal DSDT, maximum ON/OFF current ratio, and maximum memory window (MW) are possible when a single domain wall (domain density = 2) is located near the mid-channel. Additional domain walls increase DSDT. Furthermore, the drain electric field shifts the domain wall towards the source, increasing DSDT. Spatial gradient in polarization drastically impacts DSDT, with hard domain walls exhibiting lower DSDT due to increased polarization gradient.
