| Popis: | In this paper, we report a comprehensive modeling investigation of the Pt/[Formula: see text]/Nb:[Formula: see text] stack designed to operate as a Ferroelectric Tunnel Junction (FTJ). The analysis accounts for some specific features of the materials in the stack that are typically overlooked, such as the electric field dependence of the dielectric constant of Nb:[Formula: see text] and the dependence of the dielectric constant of [Formula: see text] on its thickness. Modeling results are validated through a systematic and consistent comparison with experimental data for the current–voltage characteristics of devices with different stack parameters, at different temperatures. From that, the resistive memory window of an FTJ based on the Pt/[Formula: see text]/Nb:[Formula: see text] stack is then explored over its design space. Results allow to comprehensively assess the ultimate performance of the device, providing hints for the successful development of next-generation FTJ-based memory technologies. |
