However, the development of high-quality ferroelectricity in ultra-thin films, essential for low-voltage operations and high-density integrations, remains challenging. This study introduces a novel low-damage metallization process designed to fabricate ultra-thin (sub-5 nm) ferroelectric films exhibiting exceptional ferroelectric properties and reliability.

The enhanced reliability of ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM), evidenced by improved sensing margins and consistency in ferroelectric properties, marks a substantial improvement over the conventional method.
