초록

We investigate the impact of Al concentrations and different bottom electrodes on the crystallinity, ferroelectricity, energy storage density (ESD), and oxygen defects in HfxZr1-xO2 (HZO) materials. Our results reveal that these variations are strongly linked to oxygen vacancy (V-O) formation and the stabilization of the tetragonal (t) phase. Higher Al concentrations enhance t-phase stability, suppressing the transition to the orthorhombic (o) phase. This effect, coupled with the bottom electrode configuration, plays a critical role in shaping the properties of HZO. These findings provide valuable guidelines for optimizing ferroelectric (FE) devices through precise control of doping levels and electrode materials.
