Abstract

Incorporating a charge-trapped ZrSiO with ferroelectric HfZrO dielectrics, we demonstrated a gate-injection versatile memory with sub-60mV/dec subthreshold swing (SS) and large threshold voltage window (Δ Vt) of >2V under a fast 20-ns speed. Moreover, it is revealed that the local defects at ZrSiO/HfZrO interface affect the ferroelectric negative capacitance tuning and thus increases the variability of Vt and SS during 1012 cycling endurance.
