Introduction

Hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric memory has become a research hotspot due to its compatibility with CMOS processes, low power consumption, and inverse size effect. Memory technology has transitioned from 2D planar to 3D vertical stacking, enabling the stacking of multiple memory cells. The gate first process of 3D NAND architecture requires the ferroelectric layer to withstand high annealing temperature. Al-doped hafnium oxide films can endure annealing at 700-1000 ℃, meeting the process requirements. Florent et al. first demonstrated a 3D NAND device based on Al:HfO2, achieving a 2Pr value of 17 μC/cm2 after annealing at 850 ℃, showcasing its potential in non-volatile memory applications. As devices trend toward miniaturization and integration, reducing the thickness of the ferroelectric layer is key to achieving high-density stacking and lowering power consumption. When the thickness is scaled down to the nanoscale, interface effects become significant. Studies show that an interfacial oxide layer forms between the ferroelectric film and the metal electrode, leading to the accumulation of oxygen vacancies, the generation of a built-in electric field, and polarization asymmetry. To understand interface effects, it is essential to study them from the perspective of polarization switching. This work focuses on Hf1-xAlxO2 films to investigate the influence of interfaces on polarization switching behavior. The study reveals that the interfacial layer between the ferroelectric layer and the metal electrode hinders polarization switching in the programmed state.

Methods

First, a 40 nm tungsten (W) bottom electrode was deposited on a p+-Si substrate at room temperature using magnetron sputtering. Subsequently, Al-doped HfO2 (HAO) ferroelectric films with thicknesses of 6.8 nm, 15.8 nm, and 20.4 nm were prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at a deposition temperature of 295 ℃. Tetrakis(ethylamido)hafnium (TEMA-Hf), trimethylaluminum (TMA-Al), and water (H2O) were used as the hafnium source, aluminum source, and oxygen source precursors, respectively. The cycle ratio of aluminum to hafnium deposition was 1∶29. Total cycles for HAO films with thicknesses of 6.8, 15.8 nm and 20.4 nm are 90, 210 and 270, respectively. Then, a 40 nm W top electrode was deposited using magnetron sputtering, resulting in W/HAO/W capacitor structures. Finally, the two capacitor structures were subjected to rapid thermal annealing at 700 ℃ for 30 s in a nitrogen atmosphere.

Results and discussion

The 6.8 nm, 15.8 nm, and 20.4 nm HAO films fabricated on W electrodes exhibited remanent polarization (2Pr) values of 38.8, 43.2 μC/cm2 and 37.6 μC/cm2 after waking up, demonstrating excellent ferroelectric properties. During the fabrication of 6.8 nm HAO films, interfacial WOx layers with thicknesses of 0.5 nm and 1.8 nm were formed. Based on this observation, ERS and PRG polarization switching behaviors were designed to investigate interfacial effects on switching dynamics. Under an electric field of 1.8 MV/cm, the divergence in switching time between these two states amplifies with HAO film thickness scaling. Polarization switching in PRG state of 6.8 nm HAO film is hindered by the built-in electric field, exhibiting ΔP/2PS significantly below 1, whereas ERS state achieves near-complete switching (ΔP/2PS is about 1) with substantially faster kinetics. Comparative analysis of COD values from NLS model and KAI model fittings reveals: For ERS state, both models yield COD >0.9, indicating comparable timescales for domain nucleation and growth. In contrast, PRG state polarization switching behaviors at 1.8 MV/cm requires exclusive description by the NLS model, demonstrating nucleation-limited behavior under low fields. With increasing electric field, decreasing COD values for NLS fittings and increasing COD values for KAI fittings suggest a gradual transition from nucleation-dominated to growth-dominated switching mechanisms in ERS and PRG states.

Conclusions

This paper prepared HAO ferroelectric films with three thicknesses (6.8, 15.8 nm, and 20.4 nm) via ALD, and investigated the influence of interface effects on polarization switching characteristics by comparing differences in polarization switching behavior between ERS and PRG states. The results indicate that the divergence in polarization switching time between ERS and PRG states increases with HAO film thickness scaling, attributed to the thicker interfacial oxide layer at the bottom interface compared to the top interface. This asymmetry leads to higher oxygen vacancy concentration at the bottom interface, generating a built-in electric field directed from the film toward the top electrode. As HAO film thickness decreases, the proportion of interfacial oxide layers increases, amplifying the built-in electric field that hinders polarization switching in PRG state. For the 6.8 nm HAO film under ERS state, the COD values fitted by both NLS and KAI models exceed 0.9, indicating comparable timescales for domain nucleation and growth. However, in PRG state at 1.8 MV/cm, the ΔP/2PS is significantly below 1., requiring description by the NLS model. With increasing electric field, the ΔP/2PS progressively rises to 1 (Complete polarization reversal), accompanied by a transition from NLS to KAI model behavior. This arises because the built-in electric field impedes polarization switching in PRG state, necessitating additional energy to overcome nucleation barriers. Under high electric fields, sufficient energy is provided to surmount interfacial domain nucleation barriers, significantly enhancing PRG domain nucleation rate and accelerating polarization switching dynamics.

铝掺杂氧化铪(Hf1-xAlxO2,HAO)铁电薄膜因较高的结晶温度,可与3D NAND架构集成工艺兼容,有望用于大容量、非易失性铁电存储器。高温制备工艺会导致铁电薄膜/电极界面层的形成,探究其对极化翻转行为的影响是实现器件应用的基础。本工作通过HAO薄膜厚度微缩时写入和擦除2种状态下的极化翻转行为,分析了界面效应对极化翻转动力学的影响机理。结果表明:随着HAO铁电薄膜厚度减小,写入和擦除的极化翻转速度差异增大,且该现象在低擦写电场时更为显著。此外,在低擦写电场下HAO薄膜极化翻转特性遵循成核限制模型。随着电场增大至饱和电场,极化翻转行为转变为Kolmogorov-Avrami-Ishibashi模型。该工作为氧化铪基铁电存储器建立铪基铁电薄膜与存储器性能关联提供了一定的基础。

铝掺杂氧化铪(Hf1-xAlxO2,HAO)铁电薄膜因较高的结晶温度,可与3D NAND架构集成工艺兼容,有望用于大容量、非易失性铁电存储器。高温制备工艺会导致铁电薄膜/电极界面层的形成,探究其对极化翻转行为的影响是实现器件应用的基础。本工作通过HAO薄膜厚度微缩时写入和擦除2种状态下的极化翻转行为,分析了界面效应对极化翻转动力学的影响机理。结果表明:随着HAO铁电薄膜厚度减小,写入和擦除的极化翻转速度差异增大,且该现象在低擦写电场时更为显著。此外,在低擦写电场下HAO薄膜极化翻转特性遵循成核限制模型。随着电场增大至饱和电场,极化翻转行为转变为Kolmogorov-Avrami-Ishibashi模型。该工作为氧化铪基铁电存储器建立铪基铁电薄膜与存储器性能关联提供了一定的基础。

Introduction

Hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric memory has become a research hotspot due to its compatibility with CMOS processes, low power consumption, and inverse size effect. Memory technology has transitioned from 2D planar to 3D vertical stacking, enabling the stacking of multiple memory cells. The gate first process of 3D NAND architecture requires the ferroelectric layer to withstand high annealing temperature. Al-doped hafnium oxide films can endure annealing at 700-1000 ℃, meeting the process requirements. Florent et al. first demonstrated a 3D NAND device based on Al:HfO2, achieving a 2Pr value of 17 μC/cm2 after annealing at 850 ℃, showcasing its potential in non-volatile memory applications. As devices trend toward miniaturization and integration, reducing the thickness of the ferroelectric layer is key to achieving high-density stacking and lowering power consumption. When the thickness is scaled down to the nanoscale, interface effects become significant. Studies show that an interfacial oxide layer forms between the ferroelectric film and the metal electrode, leading to the accumulation of oxygen vacancies, the generation of a built-in electric field, and polarization asymmetry. To understand interface effects, it is essential to study them from the perspective of polarization switching. This work focuses on Hf1-xAlxO2 films to investigate the influence of interfaces on polarization switching behavior. The study reveals that the interfacial layer between the ferroelectric layer and the metal electrode hinders polarization switching in the programmed state.

Methods

First, a 40 nm tungsten (W) bottom electrode was deposited on a p+-Si substrate at room temperature using magnetron sputtering. Subsequently, Al-doped HfO2 (HAO) ferroelectric films with thicknesses of 6.8 nm, 15.8 nm, and 20.4 nm were prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at a deposition temperature of 295 ℃. Tetrakis(ethylamido)hafnium (TEMA-Hf), trimethylaluminum (TMA-Al), and water (H2O) were used as the hafnium source, aluminum source, and oxygen source precursors, respectively. The cycle ratio of aluminum to hafnium deposition was 1∶29. Total cycles for HAO films with thicknesses of 6.8, 15.8 nm and 20.4 nm are 90, 210 and 270, respectively. Then, a 40 nm W top electrode was deposited using magnetron sputtering, resulting in W/HAO/W capacitor structures. Finally, the two capacitor structures were subjected to rapid thermal annealing at 700 ℃ for 30 s in a nitrogen atmosphere.

Results and discussion

The 6.8 nm, 15.8 nm, and 20.4 nm HAO films fabricated on W electrodes exhibited remanent polarization (2Pr) values of 38.8, 43.2 μC/cm2 and 37.6 μC/cm2 after waking up, demonstrating excellent ferroelectric properties. During the fabrication of 6.8 nm HAO films, interfacial WOx layers with thicknesses of 0.5 nm and 1.8 nm were formed. Based on this observation, ERS and PRG polarization switching behaviors were designed to investigate interfacial effects on switching dynamics. Under an electric field of 1.8 MV/cm, the divergence in switching time between these two states amplifies with HAO film thickness scaling. Polarization switching in PRG state of 6.8 nm HAO film is hindered by the built-in electric field, exhibiting ΔP/2PS significantly below 1, whereas ERS state achieves near-complete switching (ΔP/2PS is about 1) with substantially faster kinetics. Comparative analysis of COD values from NLS model and KAI model fittings reveals: For ERS state, both models yield COD >0.9, indicating comparable timescales for domain nucleation and growth. In contrast, PRG state polarization switching behaviors at 1.8 MV/cm requires exclusive description by the NLS model, demonstrating nucleation-limited behavior under low fields. With increasing electric field, decreasing COD values for NLS fittings and increasing COD values for KAI fittings suggest a gradual transition from nucleation-dominated to growth-dominated switching mechanisms in ERS and PRG states.

Conclusions

This paper prepared HAO ferroelectric films with three thicknesses (6.8, 15.8 nm, and 20.4 nm) via ALD, and investigated the influence of interface effects on polarization switching characteristics by comparing differences in polarization switching behavior between ERS and PRG states. The results indicate that the divergence in polarization switching time between ERS and PRG states increases with HAO film thickness scaling, attributed to the thicker interfacial oxide layer at the bottom interface compared to the top interface. This asymmetry leads to higher oxygen vacancy concentration at the bottom interface, generating a built-in electric field directed from the film toward the top electrode. As HAO film thickness decreases, the proportion of interfacial oxide layers increases, amplifying the built-in electric field that hinders polarization switching in PRG state. For the 6.8 nm HAO film under ERS state, the COD values fitted by both NLS and KAI models exceed 0.9, indicating comparable timescales for domain nucleation and growth. However, in PRG state at 1.8 MV/cm, the ΔP/2PS is significantly below 1., requiring description by the NLS model. With increasing electric field, the ΔP/2PS progressively rises to 1 (Complete polarization reversal), accompanied by a transition from NLS to KAI model behavior. This arises because the built-in electric field impedes polarization switching in PRG state, necessitating additional energy to overcome nucleation barriers. Under high electric fields, sufficient energy is provided to surmount interfacial domain nucleation barriers, significantly enhancing PRG domain nucleation rate and accelerating polarization switching dynamics.
