Patent 10211312 was granted and assigned to IMEC on February, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The disclosed technology generally relates to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to a non-volatile ferroelectric memory device and to methods of fabricating the same. In one aspect, a non-volatile memory device includes a high dielectric constant layer (high-k) layer or a metal layer on a semiconductor substrate. The non-volatile memory device additionally includes a two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor channel layer interposed between the high-k layer or metal layer and a ferroelectric layer. The non-volatile memory device additionally includes a metal gate layer on the ferroelectric layer, and further includes a source region and a drain region each electrically coupled to the 2D semiconductor channel layer.
