The metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor (MFS) structure is widely studied for nondestructive readout (NDRO) memory devices, but conventional MFS structure has a critical problem. It is difficult to obtain ferroelectric films like PZT on Si substrate without interdiffusion of impurities such as Pb, Ti and other elements. In order to solve these problems, the metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) structure has been proposed with a buffer layer of high dielectric constant such as MgO, $Y_2O_3$, and $CeO_2$. In this study, the etching characteristics (etch rate, selectivity) of MgO thin films were etched using $Cl_2/Ar$ plasma. The maximum etch rate of 85 nm/min for MgO thin films was obtained at $Cl_2$(30%)/Ar(70%) gas mixing ratio. Also, the etch rate was measured by varying the etching parameters such as ICP rf power, dc-bias voltage, and chamber pressure. Plasma diagnostics was performed by Langmuir probe (LP) and optical emission spectroscopy (OES).

This paper investigated structural and electrical properties of $Y_2$ $O_3$ as a buffer layer of single transistor FRAM (ferroelectric RAM). $Y_2$ $O_3$ buffer layers were deposited at a low substrate temperature below 40$0^{\circ}C$ and then RTA (rapid thermal anneal) treated. Investigated parameters are substrate temperature, $O_2$ partial pressure, post-annealing temperature, and suppression of interfacial $SiO_2$ layer generation. For a well-fabricated sample, we achieved that leakage current density ( $J_{leak}$) in the order of 10$^{-7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, breakdown electric field ( $E_{br}$ ) about 2 MV/cm for $Y_2$ $O_3$ film. Capacitance versus voltage analysis illustrated dielectric constants of 7.47. We successfully achieved an interface state density of $Y_2$ $O_3$/Si as low as 8.72x1010 c $m^{-2}$ e $V^{-1}$ . The low interface states were obtained from very low lattice mismatch less than 1.75%.

In this work, the etching of $CeO_2$ thin films has been performed in an inductively coupled $Ar/CF_4/Cl_2$ plasma. The highest etch rate of the $CeO_2$ thin film ws 250 ${\AA}/min$ and the selectivity of CeO$_2$to SBT was 0.4 at a 10% additive $Cl_2$ into Ar/($Ar+CF_4$)gas mixing ratio of 0.8. From result of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, there are Ce-Cl and Ce-F bonding by chemical reaction between Cl, F and Ce. During the etching of $CeO_2$ thin films in $Ar/CF_4/Cl_2$ plama, Ce-Cl and Ce-F bond is formed, and these prodcuts can be removed by the physical bombardment of Ar ions. The 10% additive $Cl_2$ into the Ar/($Ar+CF_4$)gas mixing ratio of 0.8 could enhance the reaction between Cl, F and Ce.

In this study, $Y_2$O$_3$ thin films were etched with inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The etch rate of $Y_2$O$_3$, and the selectivity of $Y_2$O$_3$ to YMnO$_3$ were investigated by varying Cl$_2$/(Cl$_2$+Ar) gas mixing ratio. The maximum etch rate of $Y_2$O$_3$, and the selectivity Of $Y_2$O$_3$ to YMnO$_3$ were 302/min, and 2.4 at Cl$_2$/(Cl$_2$+Ar) gas mixing ratio of 0.2 repectively. In x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, $Y_2$O$_3$ thin film was dominantly etched by Ar ion bombardment, and was assisted by chemical reaction of Cl radical. These results were confirmed by secondary ion mass spectroscopy(SIMS) analysis. YCI, and YCl$_3$ existed at 126.03 a.m.u, and 192.3 a.m.u, respectively

Microfinance is seen as a tool for poverty elimination by providing various services characterized as financial and non-financial to minority groups in the society to be included in the mainstream financial system. This paper seeks to examine the effect of microfinance institutions' (MFIs) financial and non-financial services on women's entrepreneurship and empowerment in Jordan as a developing country. To gain a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of microfinance services, the study is undertaken to address the question of what kinds of services are available and whether the MFI services are in line with the actual needs of women entrepreneurs to improve their performance. Hence, a qualitative approach was adopted in this study using semi-structured interview questions to collect data from twenty-four women entrepreneurs in Jordan. The results showed that, as regards financial services, the most important needs of women entrepreneurs include providing adequate financing with necessary financial facilities such as reducing interest, reducing monthly installments, and extending the grace period, while non-financial services should include holding specialized courses, accessing a counseling center, providing incentives and psychological support, marketing support, and monitoring and evaluation. This study concluded that factors associated with MFI play a crucial role to uplift women entrepreneurs and eliminate gender inequality.

A metal-ferroelectric [SrBi$_2$Ta$_2$O$\_$9/ (SBT)-high-k-insulator(PrOx)-semiconductor(Si) structure has been fabricated and evaluated as a key part of metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor-field-effect-transistor MFIS-FET memory, aiming to improve the memory retention characteristics by increasing the dielectric constant in the insulator layer and suppressing the depolarization field in the SBT layer. A 20-nm PrOx film grown on Si(100) showed both a high of about 12 and a low leakage current density of less than 1${\times}$ 10e-8 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 105 MV/cm. A 400-nm SBT film prepared on PrOx/Si shows a preferentially oriented (105) crystalline structure, grain size of about 130 nm and subface roughness of 3.2 nm. A capacitance-voltage hysteresis is confirmed on the Pt/SBT/PrOx/Si diode with a memory window of 0.3V at a sweep voltage width of 12 V. The memory retention time was about 1 104s, comparable to the conventional Pt/SBT/SiO$\_$x/N$\_$y/(SiO$\_$N/)/Si. The gradual change of the capacitance indicates that some memory degradation mechanism is different from that in the Pt/SBT/SiON/Si structure.

Cerium dioxide (CeO$_2$) was used as the intermediate layer between the ferroelectric thin film and Si substrate in a metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor (MFSFET), to improve the interface property by preventing the interdiffusion of the ferroelectric material and the Si substrate. In this study, CeO$_2$ thin films were etched with a CF$_4$/Ar gas combination in inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The maximum etch rate of CeO$_2$ thin films was 270$\AA$/min under CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+Ar) of 0.2, 600 W/-200V, 15 mTorr, and $25^{\circ}C$. The selectivities of CeO$_2$ to PR and SBT were 0.21, 0.25, respectively. The surface reaction in the etching of CeO$_2$ thin films was investigated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). There is a chemical reaction between Ce and F. Compounds such as Ce-F$_{x}$ remains on the surface of CeO$_2$ thin films. Those products can be removed by Ar ion bombardment. The results of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) were consistent with those of XPS. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine etched profiles of CeO$_2$ thin films. The etch profile of over-etched CeO$_2$ films with the 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ line was approximately 65$^{\circ}$.>.

$CeO_2$ 박막은 강유전체 메모리 디바이스 응용을 위한 금속-강유전체-절연체-실리콘 전계효과 트랜지스터 구조에서의 강유전체 박막과 실리콘 기판 사이의 완충층으로서 제안되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 $CeO_2$ 박막을 유도 결합 플라즈마를 이용하여 $Cl_2$/Ar 가스 혼합비에 따라 식각하였다. 식각 특성을 알아보기 위한 실험조건으로는 RF 전력 600 W, dc 바이어스 전압 -200 V, 반응로 압력 15 mTorr로 고정하였고 $Cl_2$($Cl_2$+Ar) 가스 혼합비를 변화시키면서 실험하였다. $Cl_2$/($Cl_2$+Ar) 가스 혼합비가 0.2일때 $CeO_2$ 박막의 식각속도는 230 ${\AA}$/min으로 가장 높았으며 또한 $YMnO_3$에 대한 $CeO_2$의 선택비는 1.83이였다. 식각된 $CeO_2$ 박막의 표면반응은 XPS와 SIMS를 통해서 분석하였다. XPS 분석 결과 $CeO_2$ 박막의 표면에 Ce와 Cl의 화학적 반응에 의해 CeCl 결합이 존재함을 확인하였고, 또한 SIMS 분석 결과로 CeCl 결합을 확인하였다. $CeO_2$ 박막의 식각은 Cl 라디칼의 화학적 반응의 도움을 받으며 Ce 원자는 Cl과 반응을 하여 CeCl과 같은 혼합물로 $CeO_2$ 박막 표면에 존재하며 이들 CeCl 혼합물은 Ar 이온들의 충격에 의해 물리적으로 식각 되어진다.

본 연구에서는 $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$ (SBT)박막의 고속식각에 따른 잔류물질 및 식각 손상의 영향을 조사하였다. ICP-RIE (inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching) 의 ICP power와 CCP(capacitively coupled plasma) power를 변화시키면서 고속식각에 따른 박막의 손상과 열화를 XPS 분석과 Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) 측정을 통하여 알아보았다. ICP와 CCP의 power가 증가함에 따라 식각율이 증가하였고 ICP power가 700 W, CCP power가 200 W 일때 식각율은 900$\AA$/min이었다. 강유전체의 건식식각에 있어서 문제점이 플라즈마에 의한 강유전체 박막의 열화인데 반응가스 $Ar/C1_2/CHF_3$를 20/14/2의 비율로 사용하고 ICP와 CCP power를 각각 700w와 200w로 사용하였을 때 전혀 열화되지 않는 강유전체 박막의 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 Metal-Ferroelectric-Semiconductor (MFS) 또는 Metal-Ferroelectric-Insulator-Semiconductor (MFIS) 구조를 가지는 단일 트랜지스터형 강유전체 메모리 소자를 만드는데 건식 식각이 응용될 수 있음을 보여준다
