Abstract

This paper reports the improvement of electrical,ferroelectric and endurance of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2(HZO)thin-film capacitors by implementing W electrode.The W/HZO/W capacitor shows excellent pristine 2Pr values of 45.1 μC/cm2 at±6 V,which are much higher than those of TiN/HZO/W(34.4 μC/cm2)and W/HZO/TiN(26.9 μC/cm2)capacitors.Notably,the maximum initial 2Pr value of W/HZO/W capacitor can reach as high as 57.9 μC/cm2 at±7.5 V.These strong ferroelectric polarization effects are ascribed to the W electrode with a fairly low thermal expansion coefficient which provides a larger in-plane tensile strain compared with TiN electrode,allowing for enhancement of o-phase formation.Moreover,the W/HZO/W capacitor also exhibits higher endurance,smaller wake-up effect(10.1%)and superior fatigue properties up to 1.5×1010cycles compared to the TiN/HZO/W and W/HZO/TiN capacitors.Such improvements of W/HZO/W capacitor are mainly due to the decreased leakage current by more than an order of magni-tude compared to the W/HZO/TiN capacitor.These results demonstrate that capping electrode material plays an important role in the enhancement of o-phase formation,reduces oxygen vacancies,mitigates wake-up effect and improves reliability.
