We have investigated for the modeling and the simulation of the ferroelectric capacitor and MFS TFT (Metal-Ferroelectric-Semiconductor Thin Film transistor). For ferroelectric capacitor modeling, we adopted the equivalent circuit model which consists of a nonlear capacitor, a nonliner resistor, and a linear capacitor. MFS TFT have been modeled by combining the ferroelectric capacitor and Bsim3 MOSFET model. Our simulations show the characteristics of ferroelectric capacitor and MFS TFT.

고온 급속 열처리를 행한 $LiNbO_3Si$/(100) 구조를 가지고 여러 가지 전극을 사용하여 금속/강유전체/반도체 커패시터를 제작하였으며, 제작한 커패시터의 비휘발성 메모리 응용 가능성을 확인하였다. MFS 커패시터의 C-V 특성 곡선에서는 LiNbO$_3$박막의 강유전성으로 인한 히스테리시스 특성이 관측되었으며, 1 MHz C-V 특성 곡선의 축적 영역에서 산출한 비유전율은 약 25 이었다. Pt 전극을 사용하여 제작한 커패시터에서는 인가 전계 500 kV/cm 범위에서 $1\times10^{-8}$ A/cm 이하의 우수한 누설전류 특성이 나타났다. midgap 부근에서의 계면 준위 밀도는 약 $10^{11}\textrm{cm}^2$.eV 이었으며, 잔류분극 값은 약 1.2 $\muC/\textrm{cm}^2$ 였다. Pt 전극과 A1 전극 모두 500 kHz 주파수의 바이폴러 펄스를 인가하면서 측정한 피로 특성에서 $10^{10}$ cycle 까지 측정된 잔류 분극 값이 초기 값과 같았다.

Thin film $LiNbO_3$MFS (metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor) capacitor showed improved characteristics such as low interface trap density, low interaction with Si substrate, and large remanent polarization. This paper reports ferroelectric $LiNbO_3$thin films grown directly on p-type Si (100) substrates by 13.56 MHz RF magnetron sputtering system for FRAM (ferroelectric random access memory) applications. RTA (rapid thermal anneal) treatment was performed for as-deposited films in an oxygen atmosphere at $600^{\circ}C$ for 60sec. We learned from X-ray diffraction that the RTA treated films were changed from amorphous to poly-crystalline $LiNbO_3$which exhibited (012), (015), (022), and (023) plane. Low temperature film growth and post RTA treatments improved the leakage current of $LiNbO_3$films while keeping other properties almost as same as high substrate temperature grown samples. The leakage current density of $LiNbO_3$films decreased from $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-7}$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ after RTA treatment. Breakdown electric field of the films exhibited higher than 500 kV/cm. C-V curves showed the clockwise hysteresis which represents ferroelectric switching characteristics. Calculated dielectric constant of thin film $LiNbO_3$illustrated as high as 27.9. From ferroelectric measurement, the remanent polarization and coercive field were achieved as 1.37 $\muC/\textrm{cm}^2$ and 170 kV/cm, respectively.

A prototype MFSFET using ferroelectric fluoride BaMgF$_4$as a gate insulator has been successfully fabricated with the help of 2 sheets of metal mask. The fluoride film was deposited in an ultrai-high vacuum system at a substrate temperature of below 30$0^{\circ}C$ and an in-situ post-deposition annealing was conducted for 20 seconds at $650^{\circ}C$ in the same chamber. The interface state density of the BaMgF$_4$/Si(100) interface calculated by a MFS capacitor fabricated on the same wafer was about 8$\times$10$^{10}$ /cm$^2$.eV. The I$_{D}$-V$_{G}$ characteristics of the MFSFET show a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the BaMgF$_4$film. It is also demonstrated that the I$_{D}$ can be controlled by the “write” plus which was applied before the measurements even at the same “read”gate voltage.ltage.

The structure and electrical characteristics of metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor FET(MFSFET) for a single transistor memory are presented. The MFSFET was comprised of polysilicon islands as source/drain electrodes and $BaMgF_4$ film as a gate dielectric. The polysilicon source and drain were built-up prior to the formation of the ferroelectric film to suppress a degradation of the film due to high thermal cycles. From the MFS capacitor, the remnant polarization and coercive field were measured to be about $0.6{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 100 kV/cm, respectively. The fabricated MFSFETs also showed good hysteretic I-V curves, while the current levels disperse probably due to film cracking or bad adhesion between the film and the Al electrode.
