본 연구에서는 강유전체의 이력 특성을 정밀하게 계산하기 위한 모델을 제공하였다. 본 모델은 2중 전위우물에 근거한 반경험적 분극 천이 모델에 기초하고 있으며 프라이사흐의 이력 함수의 분포 모델의 물리적 특성과도 잘 일치되고 있음을 보였다. 본 모델은 강유전체 이력 특성의 천이 경사도와 임프린트 특성을 고려하고 있으며 인가 전압의 극성이 바뀌는 경우에 발생되는 부 이력 경로에 대해서도 정확하게 분극 전하의 변화를 표현하고 있음을 보였다. 본 모델의 예측 결과는 PZT와 SBT의 두 종류의 강유전체에 대해서 측정 결과와 잘 일치하고 있음을 보였다. 또한, 본 모델을 AHDL 코드로 구현하여 스펙트레 시뮬레이터를 통하여 회로 설계를 할 수 있는 환경을 제공하였다.

Metal-Ferroelectric- Insulator- Silicon (MFIS) structured field effect transistor (FET) device was fabricated and characterized. Important issues to realize ferroelectric gate field effect transistor device were summarized in three sections. The choice of interlayer dielectric was made in the consideration of device functionality and chemical reaction between ferroelectric materials and silicon surface during fabrication process. Also, various ferroelectric thin film materials were taken into account to meet desired memory window and process compatibility. Finally, MFIS structured FET device was fabricated and important characteristics were discussed. For feasible integration of current device as random access memory array cell address schemes were also suggested.

The ferroelectric materials of the PZT, SBT attracted much attention for application to ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) devices. Through the last decade, the lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is one of the most attractive perovskite-type materials for the ferroelectric products due to its higher remanant polarization and the ability to withstand higher coercive fields. FRAM has been currently receiving increasing attention for one of future memory devices due to its ideal memory properties such as non-volatility, high charge storage, and faster switching operations. In this study, we first applied the damascene process using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to the fabricate the $Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ thin film capacitor in order to solve the problems of plasma etching such as low etching profile and ion charging. The structural characteristics were compared with specimens before and after CMP process of PZT films. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed to compare the morphology surface characteristics of $Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ capacitors. The densification by the vertical sidewall patterning and charging-free ferroelectric capacitor could be obtained by the damascene process without remarkable difference of the characteristics.

Cerium dioxide (CeO$_2$) was used as the intermediate layer between the ferroelectric thin film and Si substrate in a metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor (MFSFET), to improve the interface property by preventing the interdiffusion of the ferroelectric material and the Si substrate. In this study, CeO$_2$ thin films were etched with a CF$_4$/Ar gas combination in inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The maximum etch rate of CeO$_2$ thin films was 270$\AA$/min under CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+Ar) of 0.2, 600 W/-200V, 15 mTorr, and $25^{\circ}C$. The selectivities of CeO$_2$ to PR and SBT were 0.21, 0.25, respectively. The surface reaction in the etching of CeO$_2$ thin films was investigated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). There is a chemical reaction between Ce and F. Compounds such as Ce-F$_{x}$ remains on the surface of CeO$_2$ thin films. Those products can be removed by Ar ion bombardment. The results of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) were consistent with those of XPS. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine etched profiles of CeO$_2$ thin films. The etch profile of over-etched CeO$_2$ films with the 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ line was approximately 65$^{\circ}$.>.

SrBi$_2$Ta$_2$$O_{9}$ thn films were etched in inductively coupled Cl$_2$/CF$_4$/Ar plasma. THe maximum etch rate was 1060 $\AA$/min at a Cl$_2$/(Cl$_2$+CF$_4$+Ar)=0.2. The 20% additive Cl$_2$ into CF$_4$/Ar plasma decreased carbon and fluorine radicals, but increased Cl radicals. Sr was effectively removed by reacting with Cl radical because the boiling point of SrCl$_2$(125$0^{\circ}C$) is lower than that of SrF$_2$(246$0^{\circ}C$). The chemical reactions on the etched surface were studied with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. The etching profile was evaluated by using scanning electron microscopy.y.

The ferroelectric SBT thin films as a material of capacitors for non-volatile FRAMs have some problems that its remanent polarization value is relatively low and the crystallization temperature is quite high abovc 80$0^{\circ}C$. Therefore, in this paper, SBTN solution with S $r_{0.9}$B $i_{2.1}$T $a_{1.8}$N $b_{0.2}$$O_{9}$ composition was synthesized by sol-gel method. Sr(O $C_2$ $H_{5}$)$_2$, Bi(TMHD)$_3$, Ta(O $C_2$ $H_{5}$)$_{5}$and Nb(O $C_2$ $H_{5}$)$_{5}$ were used as precursors, which were dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol. SBTN thin films with 200 nm thickness were deposited on Pt/Ti $O_2$/ $SiO_2$/Si substrates by spin-coating. UV-irradiation in a power of 200 W for 10 min and rapid thermal annealing in a 5-Torr-oxygen ambient at 76$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec were used to promote crystallization. The films were well crystallized and fine-grained after annealing at $650^{\circ}C$ in oxygen ambient. The electrical characteristics of 2Pr=11.94 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, Ps＋/Pr＋=0.54 at the applied voltage of 5 V were obtained for a 200-nm-thick SBTN films. This results show that 2Pr values of the UV irradiated and rapid thermal annealed SBTN thin films at the applied voltage of 5 V were about 57% higher than those of no additional processed SBTN thin films. thin films.lms.s.s.
