FERROELECTRIC MATERIAL, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945528 titled 'FERROELECTRIC MATERIAL, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a ferroelectric material and an electronic device that utilizes this material. The ferroelectric material consists of two domains with different polarization layers and spacer layers, separated by a structural layer at the domain wall.
- The ferroelectric material includes a first domain with a polarization layer polarized in a first direction and a spacer layer adjacent to it.
- The material also includes a second domain with a polarization layer polarized in a second direction different from the first direction and a spacer layer adjacent to it.
- A structural layer is present at the domain wall between the first and second domains, and it belongs to the Pbcn space group.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electronic devices that require ferroelectric materials, such as memory devices, sensors, and actuators.
- Devices that benefit from the unique properties of ferroelectric materials, such as non-volatile memory, energy harvesting, and piezoelectric devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The ferroelectric material allows for the creation of distinct domains with different polarization directions, providing flexibility in designing electronic devices.
- The structural layer at the domain wall helps stabilize the domains and prevent unwanted interactions between them.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and functionality of electronic devices utilizing ferroelectric materials.
- Enhanced stability and reliability due to the presence of the structural layer at the domain wall.
- Increased design flexibility in creating electronic devices with specific polarization characteristics.
