Study of Interface Charge Densities for ZrO2and HfO2Based Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Devices

[摘要] A thickness-dependent interfacial distribution of oxide charges for thin metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) structures using high-kmaterials ZrO2and HfO2has been methodically investigated. The interface charge densities are analyzed using capacitance-voltage (C-V) method and also conductance (G-V) method. It indicates that, by reducing the effective oxide thickness (EOT), the interface charge densities (Dit) increases linearly. For the same EOT,Dithas been found for the materials to be of the order of 1012 cm−2 eV−1and it is originated to be in good agreement with published fabrication results at p-type doping level of1×1017 cm−3. Numerical calculations and solutions are performed by MATLAB and device simulation is done by ATLAS.
