The recent discovery of van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectric materials has inspired their incorporation into numerous nonvolatile technologies and shown potential promise for various device applications. Here in this perspective, we evaluate the recent developments in the field of vdW ferroelectric devices, with discussions focusing on vdW heterostructure ferroelectric field-effect transistors and vdW ferroelectric memristor technologies. Additionally, we discuss some of the many open questions that persist in these technologies and possible pathways research can take to answer these questions and further advance the understanding of vdW ferroelectric materials.
