Abstract

The metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor(MFIS) capacitors were fabricated using a metalorganic decomposition (MOD)method. The $CeO_2$ thin films were deposited as a buffer layer on Si substrate and $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ (BLT) thin films were used as a ferroelectric layer. The electrical and structural properties of the MFIS structure were investigated by varying the $CeO_2$ layer thickness. The width of the memory window in the capacitance-voltage (C-V)curves for the MFIS structure decreased with increasing thickness of the $CeO_2$ layer. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show no interdiffusion by using the $CeO_2$ film as buffer layer between the BLT film and Si substrate. The experimental results show that the BLT-based MFIS structure is suitable for non-volatile memory field-effect-transistors (FETs) with large memory window.
