Internal Photoemission Spectroscopy Measurements of Interfacial Energy Barriers in Operating TaN/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/TaN Metal/Ferroelectric/Metal (MFM) Devices
The effect of the “waking” and subsequent “poling” operations on the electron barriers at both top and bottom electrode interfaces in operating ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide (Hf0.5Zr0.5O2, HZO) metal/ferroelectric/metal (MFM) devices are measured for the first time via internal photoemission (IPE) spectroscopy. Top and bottom (TaN/HZO and HZO/TaN) barriers for pristine devices were measured at 2.6 and 2.9 eV, respectively. The waking operation (10 kHz bipolar voltage cycling above the coercive field) increased the top barrier to 2.8 eV while leaving the bottom barrier essentially unchanged. Poling operations (application of a longer 10 ms unipolar pulse) were found to significantly decrease both top and bottom barriers. The poling direction (polarity) had relatively little impact. The barrier for the top interface under positive (P↓) and negative poling (P↑) was 2.1 and 2.2 eV, respectively, while the bottom barrier was 2.3 eV for P↓ and 2.4 eV for P↑. All barrier heights remained unchanged after several months at room temperature. Potential physical mechanisms responsible for the changes observed under electrical operation are consistent with movement and/or creation of charged oxygen vacancy defects.
