Ferroelectricity is very attractive for nonvolatile memories since it allows non-volatility paired with a field driven switching mechanism enabling a very low-power write operation. Non-volatile memories based on ferroelectric lead-zirconium-titanate (PZT) (see fig. la) are available on the market for more than a quarter of a century now [1]. Yet they are limited to niche applications due to the compatibility issues of the ferroelectric material with CMOS processes and the associated limited scalability [2]. The discovery of ferroelectricity in doped hafnium oxide has revived the activities towards a variety of scalable ferroelectric nonvolatile memory devices
