The AlON-based memory shows promising performance in terms of a large MW of 3.1 V by ±4 V operation, long retention up to 10 years, and robust endurance up to 105 cycles with a long pulse width of 10−4 s, outstanding other FeFET memory devices. It is ascribed to the high k value and larger ΔEv that respectively allow a lower voltage drop across the IL and suppress hole trapping. [N] in the IL also enhances the thermal stability that Inhibits sub-IL formation by restraining the reaction of residual OH groups with Si substrate. Besides, the AlON and FE-HZO can be integrated in a single ALD step to simplify the process. From device performance and process viewpoints, AlON paves a promising avenue to enable more reliable and feasible FeFET memory.","PeriodicalId":6850,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81033358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
