Metal-ferroelectric AlScN-semiconductor Memory Devices on SiC Wafers
APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS(2023)
摘要
This Letter presents oriented growth and switching of thin (similar to 30 nm) co-sputtered ferroelectric (FE) aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) films directly on degenerately doped 4H silicon carbide (SiC) wafers. We fabricate and test metal ferroelectric semiconductor capacitors, comprising of Al/Al0.68Sc0.32N/4H-SiC. Our devices exhibit asymmetric coercive electric field values of -5.55/+12.05MV cm(-1) at 100 kHz for FE switching, accounting for the voltage divided by the depletion region of the semiconducting SiC substrate under positive voltages. Furthermore, the FE AlScN exhibits a remanent polarization of 110 +/- 2.8 mu C cm(-2), measured via a voltage-pulsed positive-up negativedown measurement. We further investigate the reliability of the reported devices, revealing an endurance of similar to 3700 cycles and a retention time of 9.5 x 10(5) s without any significant loss of polarization. Our findings demonstrate the bipolar switching of high-quality thin Al0.68Sc0.32N films on doped SiC substrates enabling monolithic integration of nonvolatile memory with SiC-based logic devices appropriate for high temperature operation as well as for high-power switching, memory, and sensing applications.
