Abstract

The invention provides a modulation method of an asymmetric ferroelectric tunnel junction multi-value storage unit, a corresponding storage unit and a memory. The multi-value storage unit comprises Nferroelectric functional layers; the N ferroelectric functional layers have different coercive field values so that the N ferroelectric functional layers still show different residual polarization differences after first excitation is applied, and the multi-value storage unit shows 2N tunneling resistance states under action of second excitation; and the N is an integer greater than or equal to 2,and the first excitation comprises effects of changing a size of driving excitation anda direction of the driving excitation. The asymmetric ferroelectric tunnel junction multi-value storage unit hascharacteristics of non-volatility and low reading power consumption; and meanwhile, multiple different storage states can be realized in one storage unit so that astorage density and a unit storage capacity are greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microelectronic devices, in particular to a modulation method of an asymmetric ferroelectric tunnel junction multi-valued storage unit and its corresponding storage unit and memory. Background technique [0002] With the advent of the big data era, the demand for information processing capabilities and information storage capacity continues to increase, and the traditional von Neumann computer architecture and memory are increasingly difficult to meet the demand. Ferroelectric materials are used in the storage field due to their inherent advantages such as fast erasing and writing speed, ultra-low power consumption, high cycle times, and non-volatile polarization states. New types of non-volatile materials such as FRAM, FeFET, and FTJ based on ferroelectric materials Sexual memory has received a lot of attention. Among them, the FTJ memory modulates the barrier height of the insulating layer interface through the ...
