Thin Film Ferroelectric Materials and Devices

This is a compilation of current research and development in very important ferroelectric device technologies, namely ferroelectrics for dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) and non-volatile ferroelectric random access memories (NV-FRAMs). Given the rapid pace of development and the broad scope of the general topic of ferroelectric materials, readers will benefit from such a focused presentation. The primary focus of the book is to expound the materials and device aspects of these technologies. All the chapters have been written by leaders in their fields. Therefore, each chapter provides a comprehensive treatment of a specific topic of relevance to these two technologies.
