Breakdown Characteristics of HfO2 Gate Dielectrics Films Under Constant Current Stress
|
Abstract:
Ultra thin high k HfO 2 gate dielectrics films are fabricated by reacting magnetron sputtering and furnace annealing.Breakdown characteristics (soft breakdown and hard breakdown) of gate dielectrics are studied.Results show that breakdown characteristic of thin gate dielectrics is different from that of thick gate dielectrics.Thus, breakdown mechanism of gate dielectrics under constant current stress is studied.
