Offer Description

Wurtzite-structured ferroelectric thin films hold huge promise for future nanoscale
electronics. Potential applications, such as nonvolatile memories, require full understanding
on the reliability of the ferroelectric properties of these films. Additionally, conformal
deposition techniques, such as atomic layer deposition (ALD), must be developed for
patterning three-dimensional structures and enhance the read signal when integrating
ferroelectric memories into arrays featuring ultra-scaled cell areas. Therefore, the main aim
of the project is the development of ferroelectric thin films based on wurtzite-structured
aluminum nitride (AlN) by ALD. The main tasks are developing an ALD process for the
deposition of ferroelectric cation-substituted AlN thin films, integrating these films in
capacitor structures, and characterizing the capacitors structurally and electrically. Further,
the reliability performances of the new ferroelectrics will be evaluated for nonvolatile memory
applications. The work will be performed in close collaboration with our international project
partners. The results of the work might be used to obtain a PhD in electrical engineering at
the Technical University Dresden.
