摘要

Characteristics inherent to nonplanar geometries, with an aim to reduce program/erase voltages in ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FE-FET)-based memory devices, are proposed. The basis is the enhancement of the electric field in the FE films integrated with Fin-based FE-FETs (FE-FinFET), compared to FE films in planar FE-FETs. A new design (DE/FE-FinFET), based on combining FE and dielectric (DE) materials in the gate stack of FinFETs, is also proposed. Modeling and technology computer-aided design simulations indicate larger memory window at lower voltages in Fin-based FE-FETs. It is found that with nonplanar geometries a memory window can be observed at voltages 11% lower with FE-FinFETs and 33% lower with DE/FE-FinFETs compared to planar configurations.
