| contents | In this work, we explore the impact of spatially controlled Zr and Al heterogeneous co-doping in HfO$_2$ thin films tailored for metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) gate stacks of ferroelectric field effect transistors (FeFETs). By precisely modulating the vertical arrangement of Zr and Al dopants during atomic layer deposition, we introduce deliberate compositional gradients that affect crystallization dynamics during subsequent annealing. This strategy enables us to systematically tune the phase evolution and domain nucleation within the ferroelectric layer, directly influencing device reliability and performance. From a structural perspective, our findings demonstrate that the phase composition of annealed HfO$_2$ films in MFIS stacks is primarily determined by the spatial arrangement of dopants. From an electrical perspective, we observe significant enhancement of remanent polarization and endurance of the gate stacks through heterogeneous co-doping, depending on the spatial arrangement of dopants. |
