Article Synopsis
- - HfZrO (HZO) is gaining popularity for its strong ferroelectric properties, small size (less than 10 nm), and compatibility with CMOS technology, which is essential for modern electronics.
- - Traditional HZO films require improvements to meet demands for reduced thermal budget and lower power use, leading to the introduction of a middle layer (ML) strategy to enhance features like ferroelectricity and control the wake-up effect in ferroelectric capacitors.
- - The study found that using a ZrO middle layer led to impressive results, achieving a high remnant polarization and very low wake-up ratios, while also confirming the capacitor's reliability over millions of cycles.
Functionally diverse devices with artificial neuron and synapse properties are critical for neuromorphic systems. We present a two-terminal artificial leaky-integrate-fire (LIF) neuron based on 6 nm HfZrO (HZO) antiferroelectric (AFE) thin films and develop a synaptic device through work function (WF) engineering. LIF neuron characteristics, including integration, firing, and leakage, are achieved in W/HZO/W devices due to the accumulated polarization and spontaneous depolarization of AFE HZO films.

Ten samples of vertical SBDs were fabricated to investigate the influence of the relative positions of field plates (FPs) and ion implantation on the device performance. The device with the FP of 15 μm and the ion implantation at the edge of the Schottky electrode exhibited a breakdown voltage () of 1616 V, a specific on-resistance () of 5.

Whether metamifop will cause adverse effects in zebrafish gut is unknown. In the present study, effects of metamifop on gut heath of zebrafish were investigated after sublethal concentration (0.

Previous research demonstrated that MET was highly toxic to zebrafish embryos, and this threat has caused great concern; moreover, 0.40 mg/L MET elevated the hepatosomatic index (HSI) in adult zebrafish without lethal effect after 21 d of exposure.
