  • Abstract
    This paper reports our recent results on FErroelectric DRAM (FEDRAM) transistors that employ a record-thin buffer layer. They also withstand realistic thermal budgets as well as forming-gas anneal conditions that are compatible with CMOS processes. The fabricated devices exhibit comfortable memory windows, fast switching speeds, and long retention times that are suitable for advanced FEDRAM applications
