- Abstract
- We have successfully demonstrated low voltage operation of metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) capacitors with poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)]/ Al2 O 3 /p-Si (100) structures. P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer thin films (thickness of 20 nm) prepared by the spin-coating method and annealed at 140°C showed good ferroelectric behavior with a remnant polarization of 1 μC/ cm2 at a voltage sweep of 짹4 V. Remarkable reduction in leakage current was realized by introducing a 5 nm thick Al2 O 3 layer grown by atomic layer deposition. In capacitance-voltage measurements, MFIS capacitors showed rectangular-shaped hysteresis curves, attributed to the ferroelectric material, in which the memory window width was 1.5 V, even at applied voltages of 짹3 V. © 2009 The Electrochemical Society.
