초록
Since the first report on ferroelectricity in Si-doped hafnia (HfO2), this emerging ferroelectrics have been considered promising for the next-generation semiconductor devices with their characteristic nonvolatile data storage. The robust ferroelectricity in the sub-10-nm thickness regime has been proven by numerous research groups. However, extending their scalability below the 5 nm thickness with low temperature processes compatible with the back-end-of-line technology. In this review, therefore, the current status, technical issues, and their potential solutions of atomic layer deposition (ALD) of HfO2-based ferroelectrics are comprehensively reviewed. Several technical issues in the physical scaling of the ferroelectric thin films and potential solutions including advanced ALD techniques including discrete feeding ALD, atomic layer etching, and area selective ALD are introduced.
Abstract
Since the first report on ferroelectricity in Si-doped hafnia (HfO2), this emerging ferroelectrics have been considered promising for the next-generation semiconductor devices with their characteristic nonvolatile data storage. The robust ferroelectricity in the sub-10-nm thickness regime has been proven by numerous research groups. However, extending their scalability below the 5 nm thickness with low temperature processes compatible with the back-end-of-line technology. In this review, therefore, the current status, technical issues, and their potential solutions of atomic layer deposition (ALD) of HfO2-based ferroelectrics are comprehensively reviewed. Several technical issues in the physical scaling of the ferroelectric thin films and potential solutions including advanced ALD techniques including discrete feeding ALD, atomic layer etching, and area selective ALD are introduced.
