Abstract
© 2021, The Author(s).Investigations concerning oxygen deficiency will increase our understanding of those factors that govern the overall material properties. Various studies have examined the relationship between oxygen deficiency and the phase transformation from a nonpolar phase to a polar phase in HfO2 thin films. However, there are few reports on the effects of oxygen deficiencies on the switching dynamics of the ferroelectric phase itself. Herein, we report the oxygen- deficiency induced enhancement of ferroelectric switching properties of Si-doped HfO2 thin films. By controlling the annealing conditions, we controlled the oxygen deficiency concentration in the ferroelectric orthorhombic HfO2 phase. Rapid high-temperature (800 °C) annealing of the HfO2 film accelerated the characteristic switching speed compared to low-temperature (600 °C) annealing. Scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) revealed that thermal annealing increased oxygen deficiencies, and first-principles calculations demonstrated a reduction of the energy barrier of the polarization flip with increased oxygen deficiency. A Monte Carlo simulation for the variation in the energy barrier of the polarization flipping confirmed the increase of characteristic switching speed.
