We also proposed novel FeFET process for low voltage operation by controlling oxygen intrusion into the gate stack. This work contributes to the realization of high-density and low-power 3D vertical FeFET. © 2021 JSAPCritical Role of GIDL Current for Erase Operation in 3D Vertical FeFET and Compact Long-term FeFET Retention Modelconference paper2-s2.0-85125487567
