A method for fabricating a crown capacitor includes: forming a first supporting layer over a substrate; forming a second supporting layer above the first supporting layer; alternately stacking first and second sacrificial layers between the first and second supporting layers to collectively form a stacking structure; forming a recess extending through the stacking structure; performing an etching process to the first sacrificial layers at a first etching rate and the second sacrificial layers at a second etching rate greater than the first etching rate, such that each second sacrificial layer and immediately-adjacent two of the first sacrificial layers collectively define a concave portion; forming a first electrode layer over a surface of the recess in which the first electrode layer has a wavy structure; removing the first and second sacrificial layers; and forming a dielectric layer and a second electrode layer over the first electrode layer.

A ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) memory device may include a first electrode and a ferroelectric layer comprising ferroelectric dipoles that may generate a first electric field. The first electric field may be oriented in a first direction when the device operates in an ON state. The device may also include a barrier layer that may generate a depolarizing second electric field that may be oriented in a second direction opposite of the first direction when the device operates in the ON state. The device may further include a second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode may generate a third electric field that is oriented in the first direction when the device operates in the ON state.
