Abstract

MFIS(Metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor) structures using silicon oxynitride(SiON) buffer layers were fabricatied and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations. Oxynitride(SiON) films have been formed on p-Si(100) by RTP(rapid thermal process) in O$_2$+N$_2$ ambient at 1100$^{\circ}C$. The gate leakage current density of Al/SiON/Si(100) capacitor was about the order of 10$\^$-8/ A/cm$^2$ at the range of ${\pm}$ 2.5 MV/cm. The C-V characteristics of Al/LiNbO$_3$/SiON/Si(100) capacitor showed a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the LiNbO$_3$ thin films. Typical dielectric constant value of LiNbO$_3$ film of MFIS device was about 24. The memory window width was about 1.2V at the electric field of ${\pm}$300 kV/cm ranges.
