ABSTRACT
There is an increasing number of reports on polar polymer-based Ferroelectric Field Effect Transistors (FeFETs), where the hysteresis of the drain current - gate voltage (Id-Vg) curve is investigated as the result of the ferroelectric polarization effect. However, separating ferroelectric effect from many of the factors (such as charge injection/trapping and the presence of mobile ions in the polymer) that confound interpretation is still confusing and controversial. This work presents a methodology to reliably identify the confounding factors which obscure the polarization effect in FeFETs. Careful observation of the Id-Vg curves, as well as monitoring the Id-Vg hysteresis and flat band voltage shift as a function of temperature and sweep frequency identifies the dominant mechanism. This methodology is demonstrated using 15-nm thick high glass transition temperature polar polymer-based FeFETs. In these devices, room temperature hysteresis is largely a consequence of charge trapping and mobile ions, while ferroelectric polarization is observed at elevated temperatures. This methodology can be used to unambiguously prove the effect of ferroelectric polarization in FeFETs.
