The recent progress in ferroelectricity and antiferroelectricity in HfO2‐based thin films is reported. Most ferroelectric thin film research focuses on perovskite structure materials, such as Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, BaTiO3, and SrBi2Ta2O9, which are considered to be feasible candidate materials for non‐volatile semiconductor memory devices. However, these conventional ferroelectrics suffer from various problems including poor Si‐compatibility, environmental issues related to Pb, large physical thickness, low resistance to hydrogen, and small bandgap. In 2011, ferroelectricity in Si‐doped HfO2 thin films was first reported. Various dopants, such as Si, Zr, Al, Y, Gd, Sr, and La can induce ferroelectricity or antiferroelectricity in thin HfO2 films. They have large remanent polarization of up to 45 μC cm−2, and their coercive field (≈1–2 MV cm−1) is larger than conventional ferroelectric films by approximately one order of magnitude. Furthermore, they can be extremely thin (<10 nm) and have a large bandgap (>5 eV). These differences are believed to overcome the barriers of conventional ferroelectrics in memory applications, including ferroelectric field‐effect‐transistors and three‐dimensional capacitors. Moreover, the coupling of electric and thermal properties of the antiferroelectric thin films is expected to be useful for various applications, including energy harvesting/storage, solid‐state‐cooling, and infrared sensors. Recent progress in ferroelectricity and antiferroelectricity in HfO2‐based thin films is comprehensively reviewed. The properties of ferroelectric HfO2‐based films, different from those of conventional ferroelectrics, are believed to solve the problems of conventional ferroelectrics in non‐volatile memory. Moreover, the pyroelectricity of antiferroelectric films is expected to be useful for various applications, including energy harvesting and storage, solid‐state cooling, and infrared sensors.
