Compositional gradient engineering for enhanced ferroelectricity in ultrathin AlScN

Zekun Hu, Haiwen Zhang, Rajeev Kumar Rai +12

Ferroelectric AlScN is promising for CMOS-compatible non-volatile memory, but thickness scaling is limited by leakage, premature breakdown, and defect-mediated failure. Here we sho…
