Abstract
An embodiment of the invention provides an on-chip heating system to both initially anneal and revive cycle-fatigued polymer ferroelectric materials utilized in memory devices. By heating the polymer ferroelectric material above its Curie temperature, the polymer ferroelectric material can crystallize as it cools. As such, the ferroelectric properties of the polymer are enhanced and/or restored.
