Abstract
Stability of ferroelectricity in hafnium–zirconium oxide (HZO) films deposited by sputtering and chemical solution deposition (CSD) has been investigated. After confirming the ferroelectricity of both sputtered HZO and CSD yttrium-doped HZO (Y-HZO) films, indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was deposited by sputtering on sputtered HZO or CSD Y-HZO layer to fabricate metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor (MFS) structure. It was found that the sputtered HZO films in the MFS structure became paraelectric after re-annealing in N2 which was confirmed by both X-ray diffraction pattern and electrical measurements. On the other hand, the CSD Y-HZO films showed ferroelectric nature even after re-annealing with a negligible monoclinic phase.
