Abstract

A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a ferroelectric film or a ferrielectric film provided between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the ferroelectric film or the ferrielectric film including hafnium oxide containing at least one first element selected from Zn, Mg, Mn, Nb, Sc, Fe, Cr, Co, In, Li and N.

Claims (26)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a first conductive layer;

a second conductive layer; and

a ferroelectric film or a ferrielectric film provided between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the ferroelectric film including hafnium oxide containing at least one first element selected from the group consisting of Zn, Nb, Fe, Cr, and Li, and the ferrielectric film including hafnium oxide containing at least one first element selected from the group consisting of Zn, Nb, Fe, Cr, and Li,

wherein

the hafnium oxide includes third orthorhombic hafnium oxide.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein

the hafnium oxide contains at least one second element selected from Si, Ti, Zr, Al, or Y.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein

the at least one second element is contained at 1 atom % or more and 5 atom % or less in the hafnium oxide.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one first element is contained at 1 atom % or more and 10 atom % or less in the hafnium oxide.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein

a compressive stress is applied in a thickness direction of the ferroelectric film or the ferrielectric film.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one first element is Zn, or Nb.

7. A semiconductor device comprising:

a first conductive layer;

a second conductive layer; and

a ferroelectric film or a ferrielectric film provided between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the ferroelectric film including hafnium oxide containing at least one first element selected from the group consisting of Fe and Cr, and the ferrielectric film including hafnium oxide containing at least one first element selected from the group consisting of Fe and Cr.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein

the hafnium oxide contains at least one second element selected from Si, Ti, Zr, Al, or Y.

9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein

the at least one second element is contained at 1 atom % or more and 5 atom % or less in the hafnium oxide.

10. The device according to claim 7 , wherein

the at least one first element is contained at 1 atom % or more and 10 atom % or less in the hafnium oxide.
