[0041] (1) Provide a substrate.

[0042] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the material of the substrate is not particularly limited. As some specific examples, the material of the substrate includes at least one of silicon, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, lanthanum strontium manganese oxide, strontium titanate, polyimide, and mica.

[0043] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the substrate is 200 μm-1 mm. As some specific examples, the thickness of the substrate may be 200 μm, 400 μm, 600 μm, 800 μm, 1 mm, etc.

[0044] (2) A bottom electrode layer is obtained on one side of the substrate by a first radio frequency magnetron sputtering process.

[0045] The gas pressure of the first RF magnetron sputtering process is 0.8 mTorr-1.7 mTorr, and the sputtering power is 80 W-200 W.

[0046] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the material of the bottom electrode layer includes an anisotropic material, for example, may include at least one of titanium nitride, tantalum nitride, and tungsten, preferably titanium nitride.

[0047] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the bottom electrode layer is 1nm-200nm. As some specific examples, the thickness of the bottom electrode layer may be 1nm, 2nm, 5nm, 10nm, 20nm, 50nm, 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, etc.

[0048] (3) A hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric layer is provided on the surface of the bottom electrode layer away from the substrate.

[0049] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the material of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric layer includes Hf 1-x M x O2, wherein the type of M is not particularly limited. As some specific examples, M includes at least one of Zr, Si, Al, La, Sr, Mg, Y, and Gd, and 0.01≤x≤0.99.

[0050] According to specific embodiments of the present invention, the preparation method of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric layer is not particularly limited. As some specific examples, the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric layer is obtained by at least one of atomic layer deposition, magnetron sputtering, and pulsed laser deposition. Specifically, when using atomic layer deposition, the raw hafnium source can be one of tetrakis(ethylmethylamine)hafnium, tetrakis(dimethylamine)hafnium, and hafnium tetrachloride, and the raw oxygen source can be one of high-purity H2O and ozone.

[0051] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric layer is 1nm-100nm. As some specific examples, the thickness of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric layer may be 1nm, 5nm, 10nm, 20nm, 40nm, 60nm, 80nm, 100nm, etc.

[0052] (4) obtaining a top electrode layer by a second radio frequency magnetron sputtering process on a surface of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric layer away from the bottom electrode layer;

[0054] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the material of the top electrode layer is the same as that of the bottom electrode layer, and includes an anisotropic material, for example, may include at least one of titanium nitride, tantalum nitride, and tungsten, preferably titanium nitride.

[0055] By controlling the gas pressure and sputtering power in the vacuum chamber of the device during RF magnetron sputtering of the bottom and top electrode layers, the crystal growth quality and crystal plane growth direction of the electrode can be changed, thereby regulating the interface contact between the electrode and the ferroelectric layer and improving the performance of the ferroelectric capacitor device. Because the working gas pressure during magnetron sputtering deposition affects the crystal plane orientation and microstructure of the deposited electrode material, the mean free path of the sputtered particles is long at low pressure, and the particles have higher energy when they reach the substrate, which enhances the surface migration ability and forms a dense underlying structure. By controlling the growth gas pressure and power, the micromorphology and surface oxidation state of the electrode can be controlled and the proportion of (111) orientation can be increased. Different crystal plane orientations will result in different contact interface qualities between the ferroelectric layer and the electrode layer. The interface formed by the (111) crystal plane of the electrode material (such as TiN) and the ferroelectric layer is most conducive to the formation of ferroelectricity in hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric capacitor devices.

[0056] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the top electrode layer is 1nm-200nm. As some specific examples, the thickness of the top electrode layer may be 1nm, 2nm, 5nm, 10nm, 20nm, 50nm, 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, etc.

[0057] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method further comprises: obtaining a top electrode layer by performing a second radio frequency magnetron sputtering process on a surface of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric layer away from the bottom electrode layer, and performing an annealing process.

[0058] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of the annealing treatment is 400°C-750°C. As some specific examples, the temperature of the annealing treatment can be 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, 750°C, etc. Specifically, the temperature can be gradually increased to the annealing temperature using a heating rate of 15°C / s-60°C / s. After the annealing treatment is completed, the temperature can be gradually cooled to room temperature using a cooling rate of 10°C / s-60°C / s. The annealing treatment can crystallize the ferroelectric layer material and obtain ferroelectric properties.

[0059] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the annealing treatment time is 10s-60s. As some specific examples, the annealing treatment time can be 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, etc.

[0060] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the annealing process is performed under an inert atmosphere. Specifically, the inert atmosphere is not particularly limited, and includes but is not limited to a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second aspect of the present invention provides a hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric capacitor device obtained according to the preparation method described in the first aspect, wherein the (111) / (200) aspect ratio of the top electrode and / or the bottom electrode is (0.95-10):1.

[0062] The hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric capacitor device provided by the present invention adopts an electrode crystal plane engineering strategy to obtain an optimized electrode-ferroelectric interface by regulating the crystal plane orientation of the electrode material. The optimized crystal plane can form a high interface barrier with the ferroelectric dielectric to reduce interfacial charge injection. Due to the differences in surface energy, exposed atoms and electronic structure of different crystal planes, the charge transfer characteristics and antioxidant capacity of the optimized electrode surface are also different, which can achieve the regulation of the oxygen vacancy concentration in the ferroelectric layer of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric capacitor. Due to the differences in grain size and arrangement, the optimized electrode microstructure has different out-of-plane elastic modulus, which can achieve the regulation of non-ferroelectric phase transition in the ferroelectric layer of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric capacitor.

[0063] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric capacitor device obtained according to the preparation method described in the first aspect or the hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric capacitor device described in the second aspect in the fields of advanced storage, logical operations, and brain-like computing.
