Abstract

MFMOS and MFOS (M: Metal, F: Ferroelectrics, O: Oxide, S: Silicon) capacitors with high k gate oxides, such as ZrO2, HfO2 thin films, have been fabricated for one transistor memory applications. Experimental results showed that ZrO2 and HfO2 have no serious reaction or diffusion into silicon substrate. Due to their high dielectric constant, the operation voltages of MFMOS capacitors are reduced. The MFMOS capacitor exhibits 2V memory window. For lead germanium oxide (PGO) on ZrO2 and PGO on HfO2 MFOS memory cells the memory windows are 1.8 V and 1.6 V, respectively, which are large enough for one-transistor memory applications. The basic mechanism for one-transistor memory applications was also discussed.
