摘要
this work, negative-capacitance field-effect transistors (NCFETs) based on Hf1-xAlxOy ferroelectric films are fabricated, and the effects of the Al content in Hf1-xAlxOy films and the thicknesses of the ferroelectric Hf1-xAlxOy layer/Al2O3 match layer on the electrical properties of the NCFETs are focused. The results show that as the Al content decreases and the thickness of the ferroelectric layer/the match layer increases/decreases, the remanent polarization intensity of the gate-stack of Hf1-xAlxOy /Al2O3 becomes large, and the subthreshold swing (SS) and total hysteresis of the relevant NCFETs are decreased. When the ratio of Al to Hf is about 1:19 to form Hf0.95Al0.05Oy ferroelectric film and the thicknesses of Hf0.95Al0.05Oy/Al2O3 are 10 nm/2 nm, respectively, excellent device performance is obtained with a low SS of 35.4 mV/dec, high ON/OFF current ratio of 5.0 x 10(6), and negligible hysteresis of 36.2 mV. The involved mechanisms lie in enhanced ferroelectricity of Hf1-xAlxOy films and a good matching between the ferroelectric capacitance and MOS capacitance of devices under the suitable structure and process parameters.
