Abstract

An integrated circuit comprises a ferroelectric memory cell comprising a ferroelectric film comprising a binary oxide ferroelectric with the formula XO2 where X represents a transition metal. The ferroelectric film is a polycrystalline film having a plurality of crystal grains, wherein the crystal grains are oriented along a predetermined crystal axis, or the ferroelectric film is a monocrystalline film, wherein the ferroelectric film comprises additives promoting formation of the crystal structure of the monocrystalline film and/or wherein the memory cell comprises a crystallinity-promoting layer that is directly in contact with the ferroelectric film and promotes formation of the crystal structure of the monocrystalline film.
