Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a memory device is provided. The memory may include a ferroelectric layer including a ferroelectric material interstitially doped with at least one interstitial dopant. The ferroelectric material may include a metal oxide. The interstitial dopant may include an element having an atomic radius that is not greater than an atomic radius of a metal element of the metal oxide. In some embodiments, the metal oxide comprises at least one of hafnium or zirconium. The memory device may be non-volatile. The memory device may be a ferroelectric capacitor (FeCAP), a ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET), a ferroelectric tunneling junction (FTJ), and/or another form of ferroelectric random-access memory (Fe-RAM).
