In this work, the impact of fluorine (CF) and oxygen (O) plasma passivation on HfZrO (HZO) based ferroelectric capacitor was investigated. By the fluorine passivation, the surface trap density and oxygen vacancies in the HZO-based Metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) capacitors were suppressed, resulting in the increased pristine remnant polarization (2P). The pristine value (2P) of baseline samples annealed at 500 °C and 600 °C were 11.4 µC/cm and 24.4 µC/cm, respectively. However, with the F-passivation, the 2P values were increased to 30.8 µC/cm and 48.2 µC/cm for 500 °C and 600 °C, respectively. The amount of surface defects and oxygen vacancies are quantitatively confirmed by the conductance method and XPS analysis. However, due to the incorporation of fluorine atoms into the ferroelectric-insulator films, undesirable degradation on endurance characteristics were observed.

In this study, we compare the performance of ferroelectric memristor devices based on the fabrication method for the top electrode, focusing on atomic layer deposition (ALD) and physical vapor deposition techniques. We investigate the effects of these methods on the formation of the orthorhombic phase (o-phase) in HfAlOx (HAO) ferroelectric films, which is crucial for ferroelectric properties. The devices were fabricated with HAO films doped with 3.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the mechanical properties of Mn- and Fe-doped NaBiTiO ceramics, measuring factors like Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and more, in both unpoled and poled states.
- Results indicate that adding Mn and Fe ions and applying electric poling improve the ceramics' mechanical and piezoelectric properties, altering their stress-strain responses.
- These modifications lead to significant ferroelastic deformation and large remnant polarization, suggesting that these doped ceramics could serve as effective alternatives to PZT ceramics in high-stress actuator applications.

Article Synopsis
- The photovoltaic effect in ferroelectric semiconductors, known as the FPV effect, is under exploration, particularly in the BFC-BTM system, as its microscopic mechanisms remain poorly understood.
- Research revealed a transition from rhombohedral and tetragonal to pseudocubic phases for specific compositions, leading to reduced lattice distortion and fewer macro-sized ferroelectric domains.
- Findings indicate that the FPV effect is influenced more by the complex microstructures and phase transitions than by the overall ferroelectric polarization, suggesting a shift current mechanism related to non-centrosymmetry.

The effect of W and WO electrodes on the ferroelectric characteristics of HZO (Zr-doped HfO)-based MFM (metal-ferroelectric-metal) capacitors was investigated. During the deposition of tungsten, the W electrode was formed using only Ar gas, while the WO electrode was formed using a mixture of Ar and O gases. The W-based MFM capacitors exhibited superior remnant polarization (2P of 107.
