Abstract

This work investigates trap generation in gate stacks of ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET) with TiN/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/SiOx/Si gate structure during endurance fatigue by using the low-frequency noise method. We find that the traps are generated not only at Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/SiOx interface but also in both the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 and SiOx. Our work provides evidence of defect generation inside the ferroelectric layer of FeFET during cycling. Furthermore, the traps in the SiOx are more detrimental to endurance fatigue. And the trap generation in the SiOx is more important than its initial trap density for endurance fatigue. Our work is helpful in deeply understanding the endurance of FeFET.
