摘要

基于铁电f0.5 zr0.5 o2 （HZO）的铁电隧道结（FTJ）器件作为用于神经形态计算应用的CMOS后端可积低功耗非易失性存储器，最近引起了人们的极大兴趣。在本文中，我们展示了金属-铁电-介电-金属双层FTJ器件在180nm CMOS技术芯片后端的集成。我们介绍了集成的FTJ器件的电气特性，包括在开/关电流比为~ 18时的极化开关和电阻开关行为，以及在读取电压为1.8 V时的导通电流密度为~ 24.5 μA/cm2。此外，我们还演示了一个1-晶体管-1-电容器（1T1C）电路，通过将后端FTJ器件与前端nMOS晶体管连接，将FTJ器件的ON电流放大2.6倍。因此，我们展示了用于神经形态应用的基于hzo的FTJ器件集成的基本构建块。

CMOS back-end-of-line integration of bilayer ferroelectric tunnel junction in 1-transistor-1-capacitor circuit

Ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) devices based on ferroelectric Hf_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ (HZO) have recently gained significant interest as CMOS back-end-of-line integrable low power non-volatile memories for neuromorphic computing applications. In this paper, we demonstrate integration of metal-ferroelectric-dielectric-metal bilayer FTJ devices in the back-end-of-line of a 180 nm CMOS technology chip. We present electrical characteristics of the integrated FTJ devices, including the polarization switching and resistance switching behavior with an ON/OFF current ratio of ∼ 18, and an ON current density of ∼ 24.5 μA/cm² at a read voltage of 1.8 V. Furthermore, we also demonstrate a 1-transistor-1-capacitor (1T1C) circuit by connecting a back-end FTJ device with a front-end nMOS transistor, which amplifies the ON current of the FTJ device by 2.6 times. Thus, we show the basic building block for the integration of HZO-based FTJ devices for neuromorphic applications.
