    摘要: An electronic device includes: a substrate including a source, a drain, and a channel between the source and the drain; a gate electrode arranged above the substrate and facing the channel, the gate electrode being apart from the channel in a first direction; and a ferroelectric thin film structure between the channel and the gate electrode, the ferroelectric thin film structure including a first ferroelectric layer, a crystallization barrier layer including a dielectric material, and a second ferroelectric layer, which are sequentially arranged from the channel in the first direction. The average of sizes of crystal grains of the first ferroelectric layer may be less than or equal to the average of sizes of crystal grains of the second ferroelectric layer, and owing to small crystal grains, dispersion of performance may be improved.

    摘要: Disclosed are a non-volatile content addressable memory device having a simple cell configuration and/or an operating method thereof. The non-volatile content addressable memory device includes a plurality of unit cells, wherein each of the plurality of unit cells consists of or includes a first ferroelectric transistor and a second ferroelectric transistor The first and second ferroelectric transistors are of different types such as different electrical types from each other. The first and second ferroelectric transistors may be connected in series or in parallel to each other. The first and second ferroelectric transistors may share one word line and one match line. The first and second ferroelectric transistors may share one search line. One of the first and second ferroelectric transistors may be connected to a search line and the other one may be connected to a bar search line. The first and second ferroelectric transistors may share one match line.
