Abstract
This paper presents polarization loss and imprint in bilayer ferroelectric tunnel junctions as a function of relaxation time (< 1 s) and after different SET/RESET pulses. Measurements were performed on Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 /Al 2 O 3 stack at room temperature and systematically compared to reference samples without Al 2 O 3. The experimental results were interpreted using self-consistent simulations coupling the polarization dynamic with charge trapping at the FE/DE interface. From this, mechanisms playing on short-term retention and imprint were explained dynamically. Amount of trapped charge modulated by amplitude and duration of SET/RESET pulses was presented as a root cause. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
