The ultrafast measurements of polarization switching dynamics on ferroelectric (FE) and antiferroelectric (AFE) hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) are studied. The transient current during the polarization switching process is probed directly on the nanosecond scale.
Oxides and silicates of zirconium and hafnium are actively being considered and tested to replace SiO 2 as the gate material. Though these materials have the high-dielectric constant (k ∼ 20–25) needed to provide a larger equivalent oxide thickness, they are very refractory and difficult to etch by wet and dry methods.In this paper, work done on wet etching of ZrO 2, HfO 2, and HfSi x O y ...
crystalline films of hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, and hafnium zirconium oxide. HF was the fluorination reactant and dimethylaluminum chloride (DMAC) or titanium tetrachloride was the metal precursor for ligand-exchange. The amorphous films etched faster than the crystalline films. The differences were most pronounced for hafnium oxide.
Zirconium and hafnium are corrosion-resistant metals that are widely used in the chemical and nuclear industries. Most zirconium is consumed in the form of the main ore mineral zircon (ZrSiO4, or as zirconium oxide or other zirconium chemicals. Zirconium and hafnium are both refractory lithophile elements that have nearly identical charge, ionic radii, and ionic potentials.
Hafnium is a chemical element with the symbol Hf and atomic number 72. A lustrous, silvery gray, tetravalent transition metal, hafnium chemically resembles zirconium and is found in many zirconium minerals.Its existence was predicted by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, though it was not identified until 1923, by Coster and Hevesy, making it the second-last stable element to be discovered (the last ...

Hafnium is associated with zirconium in all natural occurring ores to approximately 2 per cent by weight. Hafnium, having a high neutron cross-section, must be removed from the zirconium prior to use in nuclear reactors, Hudswell (8) has reviewed the separation of hafnium and zirconium prior to 19U9. Hafnium-free zirconium has been prepared by
The inherent toxicity of zirconium compounds is low. Hafnium is invariably found in zirconium ores, and the separation is difficult. Commercial-grade zirconium contains from 1 to 3% hafnium. Zirconium has a low absorption cross section for neutrons, and is therefore used for nuclear energy applications, such as for cladding fuel elements.

Hafnium–zirconium oxide (HZO) thin films are of interest due to their ability to form ferroelectric (FE) and antiferroelectric (AFE) oxide phases. Density functional theory is employed to elucidate the stabilization mechanisms of both FE HZO thin films and AFE ZrO 2 films.
