Conductive filament formation in the failure of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 ferroelectric capacitors by Matthew Webb, Tony Chiang, Megan K. Lenox, Jordan Gray, Tao Ma, Jon F. Ihlefeld, John T. Heron

“…After failure, the capacitor leakage current is high (∼25 mA) and constant with capacitor area, consistent with filament formation. Conductive atomic force microscopy measurements and field distribution simulations suggest a local failure mechanism consistent with filament formation along the boundary of the island capacitor due to an enhanced electric field.…”
