    Thickness-dependent reliability in 3D-Cap HfO2-based FeRAM capacitors has been studied. Results show endurance larger than 1011 cycles and >10 years of extrapolated retention time. A significant polarization gain was made possible due to trenched capacitors that enhanced the effective areas. A major cause of the endurance failure is the dielectric breakdown after numerous cycles, which is linked to the gate leakage currents. Our temperature-dependent study of I-V characteristics has revealed Fowler-Nordheim tunneling at low temperatures and Frenkel-Poole conduction at room-to-high temperatures as the culprits. Such findings will be helpful for future commercialization of this technology.
