Duk-Hyun Choe is a Principal Researcher at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), where he has led the ferroelectric device project as Project Manager since 2024. His current research focuses on the physics of ferroelectric hafnia and its implementation in ferroelectric capacitors and ferroelectric field-effect transistors for semiconductor industry applications. His long-term vision is to translate emerging physical phenomena into scalable and manufacturable device innovations, and to redefine the traditional boundaries of logic and memory devices through novel architectural designs. He has been recognized within Samsung with multiple honors, including the Grand Award (2021) and Gold Award (2023) at the Samsung Best Paper Awards, as well as the Samsung DS Patent Award (2021) and DS Paper Award (2024). Duk-Hyun received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2009 and 2015, respectively.
ㅁ초록:
Over the past decade, ferroelectric (FE) devices have experienced a resurgence of interest, fueled by the discovery of ferroelectricity in a simple binary oxide HfO2. Unlike traditional FEs, HfO2 offers ultra-scalable ferroelectricity that is compatible with industrial CMOS processes, opening compelling opportunities for advanced memory and logic applications. At the same time, recent studies have revealed unconventional aspects of its FE behavior, highlighting the need for deeper investigations into the fundamental physics of ferroelectricity in hafnia.
In this talk, I will provide a brief overview of the current status of the field and present our theoretical and experimental approaches to harnessing FE hafnia for industrial applications. Beginning with fundamentals, I will revisit the modern theory of polarization to clarify the multi-valued nature of polarization in FE HfO2. I will then introduce an atomistic picture of ultrafast switching, enabled by the unique structural topology of FE HfO2. Finally, I will highlight our recent experimental efforts, including some unpublished results, on applying FE hafnia to negative capacitance FETs (NCFETs), FE Capacitors, and FEFETs.
