Abstract:
This paper studies a composite device composed of ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) and metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor. The relationship between the hysteresis characteristics and VG is reported, and the on/off ratios under different writing voltages are presented. The gm–VG curve of the forward and reverse sweeping shows that under forward sweep a very clear instability appears while voltage increases. The reasons for this can be explained according to the voltage divider rule, the ID formula, and gm formula of transistors, which show that there is polarization of the ferroelectric material. Accordingly, a method is proposed to determine the critical point of the ferroelectric capacitor polarization in this 1T1C structure, which is advantageous because it identifies the appropriate reading voltage necessary for an effective program state of the 1T1C device. This method was shown in three 1T1C and three FeRAMs devices with different ferroelectric areas. Finally, this method was verified by the P–V loop of FeRAMs.
