Abstract

High-k insulator films of HfO ₂, Y ₂O ₃, and CeO ₂, were prepared on Nd ₂Ti ₂O ₇ (NT) ferroelectric to form metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor structures. TheNT is a candidate ferroelectric material for use in a metal-ferroelectric- insulator-semiconductor field effect transistor (FET) with low permittivity and a high coercive field. Our work involves understanding the relationships between retention property and permittivity and the insulation properties of insulator layer, including interface. HfO ₂ possesses a relatively low leakage current and a better retention property than Y ₂O ₃ and CeO ₂. The insulating property from a stable interface was found to be the most important controlling factor for the ferroelectric FET.
