Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device generally includes a ferroelectric (FE) semiconductor device having a channel region; a gate oxide; a FE region, wherein the gate oxide is disposed between the FE region and the channel region; a gate region, wherein the FE region is disposed between the gate oxide and the gate region; a first semiconductor region disposed adjacent to the channel region; and a second semiconductor region disposed adjacent to the channel region. The semiconductor device may also include a transistor, wherein a region of the transistor is connected to the gate region, the first semiconductor region, or the second semiconductor region of the FE semiconductor device.
