Perovskite oxide field effect transistors comprise perovskite oxide materials for the channel, source, drain, and gate oxide regions. The source and drain regions are doped with a higher concentration of n-type or p-type dopants (depending on whether the transistor is an n-type or p-type transistor) than the dopant concentration in the channel region to minimize Schottky barrier height between the source and drain regions and the source and drain metal contact and contact resistance.
DEPLETION MODE FERROELECTRIC TRANSISTORS
A depletion-mode PeDFET (FeDFET) is programmable to a first programmed state, under a first set of voltage biasing conditions, and to a second programmed state, under a second set of voltage biasing conditions. In both the first and second programmed states, the storage transistor has a threshold voltage that is not greater than 0 volts.

Anti-Fuse Device by Ferroelectric Characteristic
An anti-fuse device by ferroelectric characteristic is provided, which comprises an active area including a source region, a drain region laterally spaced from the source region and a channel between the source region and drain region, and a gate structure including a ferroelectric layer formed on the channel as well as a gate electrode formed on the ferroelectric layer. A programming operation of the anti-fuse device is performed by application of power to the gate electrode and at least one of the source region and drain region to cause a permanent electric field polarization in the ferroelectric layer to induce a conduction path along the channel. After the programming operation, the anti-fuse device will much easily turn on as the threshold voltage decreases even the operating voltage applied to the gate electrode is zero bias.
