Ferroelectricity in Orthorhombic Zirconia Thin Films
Ferroelectric fluorite oxides such as hafnium (HfO2)-based materials are one of the most promising candidates for future large-scale integrated circuits (ICs), while zirconia (ZrO2)-based fluorite materials, which have the same structure as HfO2 and more abundant resources and lower cost of raw materials, are usually thought to be anti- or ferroelectric-like. Here, we report a remanent polarization (Pr) of ∼15 μC/cm2 in orthorhombic ZrO2 thin films at 77 K. This ferroelectricity arises from an electric field-induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transition, which is particularly noticeable at 77 K. Our work reveals the ferroelectricity in ZrO2 thin films and offers a new pathway to understand the origin of ferroelectricity in fluorite oxides.
