Abstract

Ferroelectric tunnel junction devices based on ferroelectric thin films of solid solutions of hafnium dioxide can enable CMOS integration of ultra-low power ferroelectric devices with potential for memory and emerging computing schemes such as in-memory computing and neuromorphic applications. In this work, we present ferroelectric tunnel junctions based on Hf0.5_{0.5}Zr0.5_{0.5}O2_{2} with materials and processes compatible with CMOS back-end-of-line integration. We show a device architecture based on W-Hf0.5_{0.5}Zr0.5_{0.5}O2_{2}-Al2_{2}O3_{3}-TiN stacks featuring low temperature annealing at 400{\deg}C with performance comparable to those obtained with higher temperature annealing conditions.
