Ferroelectric gate dielectrics in integrated circuits

Abstract:

In various embodiments disclosed herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for using a ferroelectric material as a gate dielectric in an integrated circuit, for example, as part of a transistor. In an embodiment, the transistor can include a p-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor. In an embodiment, the transistor can have a p-doped substrate. In an embodiment, the channel of the transistor can be a p-doped channel. In an embodiment, the transistor having the ferroelectric material as the gate dielectric can be used in connection with an inverter. In an embodiment, the inverter can be used in connection with an static random access memory (SRAM) memory device.
