摘要
The effects of forming gas annealing (FGA) on the ferroelectric properties of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) films were examined. Although the H-incorporation during FGA degrades the ferroelectric properties of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films, the degree of degradation was much lower compared with other ferroelectrics, such as Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3. Pt worked as a catalyst for H-incorporation, and maximum 2P(r) loss of similar to 40% occurred. However, the insertion of a similar to 20-nm-thick TiN layer between Pt and Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 decreased the degradation to similar to 12%. Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 is more resistant to degradation by FGA compared with the conventional ferroelectrics, which is a highly promising result for next-generation ferroelectric memory.
