Advanced Characterization of Hafnium-Based Ferroelectric Capacitors to Reveal Interdependencies Among Critical Reliability Phenomena

Master internship - Leuven | More than two weeks ago Ferroelectric materials exhibit a spontaneous polarization that can be reversed by applying an external electric field and that remains stable even in the absence of such a field. Fluorite‑type oxides, such as HfO₂ and Hf₀.₅Zr₀.₅O₂ (HZO), form a particularly interesting class of ferroelectrics due to their compatibility with standard CMOS fabrication processes and…
