Improvement in ferroelectricity of HfxZr1−xO2 thin films using top- and bottom-ZrO2 nucleation layers

A ferroelectric HfxZr1−xO2 (HZO) thin film crystallized with nanocrystalline top- and bottom-ZrO2 nucleation layers (D-ZrO2) exhibited superior remanent polarization (2Pr = Pr+ − Pr− = 29 μC/cm2) compared to that of similar thin films (12 μC/cm2) crystallized without a ZrO2 nucleation layer (w/o) wh...
