The γ‐ray total dose radiation effects on Zr‐doped HfO 2 (HfZrO) and Al‐doped HfO 2 (HfAlO) ferroelectric thin films are comparatively studied. The J – E , P – E, C – V , ε r – f curves and fatigue characteristics of both HfZrO and HfAlO thin films are measured and analyzed with the increasing total dose from 0 to 5 Mrad (Si). The remnant polarization ( P r ) values of both HfZrO and HfAlO thin films first decrease and then increase with the increasing total dose. A competitive mechanism between the pinned domains and increasing polarization switching charges induced by radiation is proposed to explain this phenomenon. This work presents doped HfO 2 film with great radiation tolerance for nuclear and aerospace applications.
