    Abstract: Bilayer stack for a ferroelectric tunnel junction and method of forming. The method includes depositing a first metal oxide film on a substrate by performing a first plurality of cycles of atomic layer deposition, where the first metal oxide film contains hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, or both hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide, depositing a second metal oxide film on the substrate by performing a second plurality of cycles of atomic layer deposition, where the second metal oxide film contains hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide, and has a different hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide content than the first metal oxide film, and heat-treating the substrate to form a ferroelectric phase in the second metal oxide film but not in the first metal oxide film. A ferroelectric tunnel junction includes a first metal-containing electrode, the first metal oxide film, the second metal oxide film, and a second metal-containing electrode.
