  • In this study. the recovery of plasma induced damage in the etched PZT thin film with $O_2$ re-annealing have been investigated. The PZT thin films were etched as a function of $Cl_2/Ar$ and additive $CF_4$ into $Cl_{2}(80%)/Ar(20)%$. The etch rates of PZT thin films were $1600\dot{A}/min$ at $Cl_{2}(80%)/Ar(20)%$ gas mixing ratio and $1970\dot{A}/min$ at 30 % additive $CF_4$ into $Cl_{2}(80%)/Ar(20)%$. The etched profile of PZT films was obtained above 70 by SEM. In order to recovery properties of PZT thin films after etching, the etched PZT thin films were re-annealed at various temperatures in $O_2$ atmosphere. From the hysteresis curves, ferroelectrical properties are improved by $O_2$ re-annealing process. The improvement of ferroelectric behavior at annealed sample is consistent with the increase of the (100) and (200) PZT phase revealed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). From XPS analysis, intensity of Pb-O, Zr-O and Ti-O peak are increased and the chemical residue peak is reduced by $O_2$ re-annealing. The ferroelectric behavior consistent with the dielectric nature of TixOy is recovered by $O_2$ recombination during rapid thermal annealing process. From AFM images, it shows that the surface roughness of re-annealed sample after etching is improved.

  • In this work, we have been analyzed the characteristics of ReRAM with different annealing condition and temperature. The ReRAM devices with top electrode=150nm, bottom electrode=150nm, oxide thickness=70nm and annealing temperature=$500^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$ have been used in characterization. The Set/Reset voltage, sensing window and resistivity have been characterized. From the measurement results, the Set/Reset voltage and sensing window have been enhanced as the annealing temperature has been increased. But it has been decreased as the temperature performance has been increased. In case of the annealing temperature=$850^{\circ}C$, the variation of Set/Reset voltage was lower than that of other condition. But the variation of sensing window was the lowest when the annealing temperature was $500^{\circ}C$. With considering the variation of Set/Reset voltage and sensing window, the devices annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ showed the best performance to ReRAM.

  • Resistive-change random access memory (ReRAM) device is one of the promising candidates owing to its simple structure, high scalability potential and low power operation. Many resistive switching devices using transition metal oxides materials such as NiO, Al2O3, ZnO, HfO2, $TiO_2$, have attracting increased attention in recent years as the next-generation nonvolatile memory. Among various transition metal oxides materials, HfO2 has been adopted as the gate dielectric in advanced Si devices. For this reason, it is advantageous to develop an HfO2-based ReRAM devices to leverage its compatibility with Si. However, the annealing temperature of these high-k thin films for a suitable resistive memory switching is high, so there are several reports for low temperature process including microwave irradiation. In this paper, we demonstrate the bipolar resistive switching characteristics in the microwave irradiation annealing processed Ag/HfO2/Pt ReRAM device. Compared to the as-deposited Ag/HfO2/Pt device, highly improved uniformity of resistance values and operating voltage were obtained from the micro wave annealing processed HfO2 ReRAM device. In addition, a stable DC endurance (>100 cycles) and a high data retention (>104 sec) were achieved.

The PZT thin films were etched as a function of $Cl_2/CF_4$ with addition of Ar and $O_2$ with inductively induced plasma. The etch rates of PZT thin films were 1450 $\AA$/min at 30% additive Ar into $(Cl_2(80%)+CF_4 (20%))$ and 1100 $\AA$/min at 10% additive $O_2$ into $C(Cl_2(80%)+CF_4(20%))$. In order to recovery properties of PZT thin films after etching, the etched PZT thin films were re-annealed at various temperatures in at $O_2$ atmosphere.

  • The present article deals with in situ post annealing of ZnO in sputtering system. The ZnO thin films were grown at low temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ and at working pressure of 15 mTorr with RF magnetron sputtering. Having been gown, ZnO thin films were annealed in situ at different temperatures, at annealing ambient pressure of 15 mTorr and in ambients of oxygen and argon respectively. Through analyses of XRDs, it is can be concluded that the crystallinity of annealed ZnO thin films becomes much better than that of as-grown ZnO thin film.

  • Effects of current re-stress after anneal on leakage current and trapped charges in oxides are investigated. Current stress on 6 nm thick oxide has generated mostly positive traps within the oxide resulting in leakage currents. The interface states generated are several orders of magnitude smaller, determined by C-V and charge pumping method. Annealing has eliminated only the charged traps not the neutral traps, thus the leakage current and trap density are increased when the oxides are re-stressed.
