Abstract

This paper describes the classification of existing integration schemes for ferroelectric memories, including both nonvolatile and volatile devices, and the status of device development for CMOS (both SRAM and DRAM architecture), GaAs JFET structures, bipolar, and true ferroelectric FETs (in which the ferroelectric is deposited in the gate region to modify the source-to-drain current when the polarization is reversed). Emphasis in the paper is on electroding, film deposition, drying and baking, and annealing steps.
