Abstract

The ferroelectric property of HfO2 thin films with different Al-dopants spatial distribution is investigated both in post-metallization annealing (PMA) and post-deposition annealing (PDA). The ferroelectric enhancement of the top electrode during rapid thermal annealing (RTA) is only effective in the single-layer Al distributed HfO2 thin films. Without capping electrodes in crystallization anneal, the remanent polarization of the double-layer Al distributed HfO2 thin films is larger, which may be attributed to the thermal diffusion stress generated by the Al-dopants double-layer distribution during annealing.
