摘要
N-channel ferroelectric dynamic random access memory (FEDRAM) FETs with SrBi2Ta2O9/SiN/Si structure were fabricated and characterized. The estimated switching time (t(sw)) of the fabricated FET, measured at applied electric field of 376 kV/cm, was less than 50 ns, which could be significantly reduced upon scaling. Its remnant polarization (2P(r)) was measured to be about 1.5 muC/cm(2), which is more than one order of magnitude higher than that required for FEDRAM operation. The stored information retains more than three orders of magnitude of on/off ratio up to three days at room temperature, with little fatigue after 10(11) switching cycles.
