In this work, we examine one of the important wear-out effects in metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) ferroelectric FETs (FeFET), comparing n-type and p-type endurance cycling degradation devices propose a sloshing bathtub model as physical explanation for effect. We show that: i) polarization (P <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">FE</inf> ) switching is main source demonstrated by severe V...
In this study, we provide an insight into the polarization switching behavior of HfO2-based ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) by utilizing Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire model in multiscale physics-based modeling platform GinestraTM. Simulation results showed that a sufficient trap density is needed for complete reversal. After that, characterize charge-trapping with dedicated experiment. The test are then compared simulation under same condition. charge trapping more sensitive to...
In this paper, recent advances on the development of Hafnium oxide (HfO2)-based ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) are shown with respect to its memory window, trapping behavior and endurance characteristics. Although novel cell shows superior characteristics such as device scalability, CMOS compatibility, fast access time low power operation, challenges for HfO2-based FeFET lie variability endurance. To investigate failure in relation charge trapping, different delays were...
