摘要
Hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) is an ideal candidate for the implementation of ferroelectric memristive devices, due to its compatibility with the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. Ferroelectricity in HZO films is significantly influenced by the properties of electrode/HZO interfaces. Here, the impact of the interfacial microstructure and chemistry on the ferroelectricity of 6 nm-thick HZO-based capacitors, realized by sputtering, with titanium nitride or tungsten electrode materials, is investigated. The results highlight a strong correlation between the structural properties of electrode/HZO interfaces and the HZO ferroelectric performance. Interface effects become significant at low HZO thickness, thus the precise control over the quality of electrode/HZO interfaces allows the remarkable improvement of HZO ferroelectric properties. A double remanent polarization of 40 & mu;C cm(-2) is achieved. This work is a new step towards high quality ultra-thin HZO films with enhanced ferroelectricity for the implementation of ferroelectric tunnel junctions for brain-inspired computing.
