摘要
A status report is given on high-dielectric (usually ferroelectric) thin-films of fine-grained ceramics utilized for ferroelectric memories, including active memory elements in nonvolatile random access memories (NV-RAMS), passive capacitors in dynamic random access memories (DRAMS), and ferroelectric gates in ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FEMFETs) configured for non-destructive read-out (NDRO) memories. Emphasis is upon breakdown fields, leakage current, fatigue, and retention. Both the Ba(x)Sr(1-x)TiO(3) (BST) family and the SrBi(2)Ta(2)O(9) family of layer-structure perovskites are discussed. The review ends with a list of unsolved physics questions about ferroelectric thin films that will be helpful in further engineering developments.
