Abstract

A metal/ferroelectric (FE)-HfO2/IGZO/metal capacitor was fabricated and investigated for 3D high-density memory application. The sharp interface is obtained without atomic interdiffusion. The capacitor shows ferroelectricity with a IGZO capping layer. The endurance and retention measurement show that the capacitor has up to 108 program/erase endurance cycles and a 10 year retention, respectively. The capacitor does not show the wake-up effect, which is beneficial for circuit design and manufacturing. The asymmetric imprint effect is attributed to the different band modulation in the accumulation and depletion states of IGZO.
