ABSTRACT
By adoption of a high permittivity ZrO2capping layer (ZOCL), enhanced ferroelectric properties were achieved in the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2(HZO) thin films. For HZO thin film with 10 Å ZOCL, the 2Prvalue can reach as high as â¼43.1µC cm-2under a sweep electric field of 3 MV cm-1. In addition, a reduced coercive field of 1.5 MV cm-1was observed, which is comparable to that of HZO with metallic CL. Furthermore, the homogeneity of ferroelectric orthorhombic phase in HZO films was observed to be clearly increased, as evidenced by nanoscale piezoelectric force microscopy measurements. These results demonstrate that ZOCL is very favorable for high performance ferroelectric HZO films and their future device applications.
