摘要: The effect of crystallized ZrO2 (ZrO2-seed), amorphous Hf0.43Zr0.57O2 (HZO; HZO-seed), and Al2O3 (Al2O3-seed) seed layers on the ferroelectricity HZO films was investigated. remanent polarization () a TiN-electroded capacitor with ZrO2-seed layer much larger than that capacitors HZO-seed, Al2O3-seed, or no layer. Furthermore, maximum 2P r exhibited when thickness 2 nm. Large grain growth observed, which satisfied same lattice pattern between films, indicates plays an important role in nucleation film.
