Tunable, non-volatile, small-signal capacitance is observed and characterized in a TiN/ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO)/TiN stack. The non-volatility of the small-signal capacitance originates from the non-uniform distribution of oxygen vacancies near/at the bottom electrode, resulting in polarity-dependent responses…

In this work, we proposed and experimentally demonstrated a compact and low polarization-dependent silicon waveguide crossing based on subwavelength grating multimode interference couplers. The subwavelength grating structure decreases the effective refractive index difference and shrinks the device footprint. Our des…
