Thermal treatment dependences of MFS devices in $BaMgF_4$ on Si structures have been investigated. $BaMgF_4$ thin films have been directly deposited on the p-Si(100) wafers at a low temperature of $300^{\circ}$ in an ultra high vacuum(UHV) system. After in-situ post-deposition annealing was conducted for 20 s at $650^{\circ}$, bias and temperature were applied to $BaMgF_4/Si$ structures. Although X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the films were polycrystalline in nature before and after bias temperature, the C-V properties were some different between with and without bias-temperature treatment.

Electrical properties of metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor(MFSFET) using $BaMgF_4$ thin films grown on p-Si(100) substrates have been investigated. $BaMgF_4$ thin films have been directly deposited on the p-Si(100) wafers at a low temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ in an ultra high vacuum(UHV) system. First an in-situ post-deposition annealing was conducted for 20s at $650^{\circ}C$ and second an in-situ post-annealing was conducted for 10s at $950^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties of MFSFET compared with using A1 and Pt electrodes.

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.

Use of a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) technique is shown to improve the properties of metal-ferroelectric BaMgF$_{4}$-silicon structures. The fluoride film was deposited in an ultra-high vacuum system at asubstrate temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$. A post-deposition annelaing was conducted for 10 seconds at 600.deg. C in a vacuum of 0.1 Torr, using a home-made RTA apparatus. The results showed that the resistivity of the ferroelectric BaMgF$_{4}$ film from a typical value of 1-2${\times}10^{11}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ before the annealing to about 5${\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and reduce the interface state density of the BaMgF$_{4}$/Si interface to about 8${\times}10^{10}cm^{2}{\cdot}$eV. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements using a sawyer-tower circuit yielded remanent polarization and coercive field values of about 0.5$\mu$C/cm$^{2}$ and 80 kV/cm, respectively. the typical remanent polarization of the BaMgF$_{4}$ films ont he (100) and (111) oreientated silicon wafers were 0.5 - 0.6 $\mu$C/cm$^{2}$ and that of th efilms on the (110) wafers was 1.2$^{\circ}C$/cm$^{2}$.
