- Abstract
- Fluorite-structure ferroelectric thin films have been extensively studied as promising candidates for next-generation non-volatile memory. However, these ferroelectric thin films have fatal issues such as the irregular formation of the ferroelectric phase, low cycling endurance, and wake-up and fatigue during endurance cycling tests. These problems are reportedly caused by oxygen vacancies, which form due to the interface reaction between the thin films and bottom electrodes during deposition and the post-annealing process. Therefore, in this work, the enhanced ferroelectric characteristics of Hf1-xZrxO2 thin films that control the oxygen vacancies in thin films through interfacial pretreatment are investigated. Interfacial treatment using an oxygen source can reduce oxygen vacancies and improve crystallinity through intentional oxidation of the bottom electrode. As a result, the remanent polarization value is increased by approximate to 1.6 times by applying the optimized pretreatment condition, and the measured 2P(r) is a very high value of 73 mu C cm(-2). Furthermore, it exhibits very stable ferroelectric properties without a wake-up effect or significant fatigue, up to 10(8) cycles even under a severe electric field of 3.5 MV cm(-1). This simple strategy provides a new avenue to effectively improve the performance and cycling endurance of devices with ferroelectric thin films.
