Despite several years of research into graphene electronics, sufficient on/off current ratio I(on)/I(off) in transistors with conventional device structures has been impossible to obtain.

Abstract Ferroelectric materials offer a low‐energy, high‐speed alternative to conventional logic and memory circuitry. Hafnia‐based films have achieved single‐digit nm ferroelectricity, enabling further device miniaturization. However, they can exhibit nonideal behavior, specifically wake‐up fatigue effects, leading unpredictable performance variation over consecutive electronic switching cycles, preventing large‐scale commercialization. The origins are still under debate. Using...
