Abstract
We have investigated the structural and electrical properties of metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) capacitors with Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BNdT) thin film deposited on Si and hafnium oxide (HfO2)/Si substrates. Microstructural analysis reveals the formation of well-crystallized BNdT perovskite film and good interface between BNdT film and HfO2 buffer layer. Pt/BNdT/HfO2/Si structure exhibits a memory window of 1.12 V at an operation voltage of 3.5 V. The width of memory window for the MFIS structure varies with increasing thickness of HfO2 layer, and 4-nm-thickness is optimum. The results from the fatigue test indicate a slight degradation of the memory window after 1010 switching cycles. These properties are encouraging for the development of ferroelectric memory transistors.
