Abstract

In this study, the characteristics of metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor FET (MFSFET) device is investigated using field-dependent polarization and square-law FET models. From drain current with the gate voltage variation, when coercive voltages of ferroelectric thin film are 0.5 and 1V, the memory windows are 1 and 2V, respectively. When the gate voltages are 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3V, the difference of saturation drain currents of the MFSFET device at two threshold voltages in ID-VD curve are 1.5, 2.7, 4.0, and 5.7mA, respectively. As a result of the analysis for drain currents after tine lapse, which is based on the simulation for hysteresis loop and the fitting of retention properties of ferroelectric thin films such as PLZT(10/30/70), PLT(10) and PZT(30/70) thin film shows excellent reliability that the decrease of saturation current is about 18% after 10 years.

본 연구에서는 field-dependent polarization 모델과 square-law FET 모델을 이용하여 Metal- ferroelectic-semiconductor FET (MFSFET) 소자의 특성을 연구하였다. 게이트 전압에 따른 드레인 전류특성에서 강유전체 박막의 항전압이 0.5 와 1 V 일 때, 각각 1와 2 V의 메모리 창 (memory window) 을 나타내었다. 드레인 전류-드레인 전압곡선에서 두 부분의 문턱전압에 의해 나타난 포화 드레인 전류차이는 게이트 전압이 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 V 일 때, 각각 1.5, 2.7, 4.0, 5.7 mA로 명확한 차이를 나타내었다. PLZT(10/30/70), PLT(10), PZT(30/70) 박막의 이력곡선 시뮬레이션과 리텐션 특성의 fitting 결과를 바탕으로 시간경과 후의 드레인 전류를 분석한 결과, PLZT(10/30/70) 박막이 10년 후에도 약 18%의 포화 전류가 감소하는 가장 우수한 신뢰성을 나타내었다.
