Patent ID: 11869971

Abstract:
A FeFET configured as a 2-bit storage device that includes a gate stack including a ferroelectric layer over a semiconductor substrate; and the ferroelectric layer includes dipoles; and a first set of dipoles at the first end of the ferroelectric layer has a first polarization; and a second set of dipoles at the second end of the ferroelectric layer has a second polarization, the first and second polarizations of the corresponding first and second sets of dipoles representing storage of 2 bits, wherein a first bit of the 2-bit storage device being configured to be read by application of a read voltage to the source region and a do-not-disturb voltage to the drain region; and a second bit of the 2-bit storage device being configured to be read by application of the do-not-disturb voltage to the source region and the read voltage to the drain region.
