Abstract

Ferroelectric FET (FeFET) emerges as a highly promising candidate for in-memory computing due to its outstanding performance, superior energy efficiency and great scalability. For FeFET, generally the memory window, i.e., the separation between the two threshold voltage (VTH) states, is of interest. The absolute value of the low-VTH and high-VTH states are generally not scrutinized. However, in this work, we demonstrate that a proper engineering of VTH is necessary to ensure correct array operation for in-memory computing applications. We highlight that for all the current-based operations, it is necessary to keep both the VTH states positive to cut off the leakage for grounded unselected cells. To reach that design target, we systematically evaluate various design options for VTH engineering, including the gate metal work function, the body bias, and the buried oxide thickness, in a fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) FeFET using calibrated TCAD simulations. We establish the design guidelines for VTH engineering to ensure successful operation of in-memory computing applications.
