  • Charge Trapping related threshold voltage instabilities in high permittivity gate dielectric stacks
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2003
    Co-Authors: Sufi Zafar, E P Gusev, A Callegari, M V Fischetti
    Abstract:

    An experimental and modeling study of Charge Trapping related threshold voltage shifts in Al2O3 and HfO2 n-type field effect transistors (nFET) is reported. The dependence of threshold voltage, subthreshold slope, and gate leakage currents on stressing time and injected Charge carrier density are investigated as a function positive bias stress voltage and temperature. Based on experimental data, a model for Trapping of Charges in the existing traps is developed. The model is similar to SiO2 Charge Trapping models with one exception. Unlike SiO2 models, the model assumes a continuous distribution in Trapping capture cross sections. The model predicts that threshold voltage would increase with a power law dependence on stressing time and injected Charge carrier density (Ninj) in the initial stages of stressing. The model calculates threshold voltage shifts as a function of stress time and Ninj, thereby provides estimates of threshold voltage shifts after 10 years lifetime. It also provides insights into the...

  • Charge Trapping in high k gate dielectric stacks
    2002 IEEE International Devices Meeting (IEDM), 2002
    Co-Authors: Sufi Zafar, E P Gusev, A Callegari, M V Fischetti
    Abstract:

    Charge Trapping in Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and HfO/sub 2/ nFETs is studied. The dependence of threshold voltage, subthreshold slope and gate leakage currents are investigated as a function of stressing time, voltage and temperature. Based on the experimental data, a model is developed for predicting threshold voltage shifts as a function stressing time. The model is compatible with both Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and HfO/sub 2/ data. Using the model, threshold voltage shifts after 10 years of stressing is predicted and Trapping capture cross sections are estimated. A comparison between Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and HfO/sub 2/ is also made.

  • Charge Trapping in ultrathin hafnium oxide
    IEEE Electron Device Letters, 2002
    Co-Authors: Wenjuan Zhu, Sufi Zafar, T P, T Tamagawa
    Abstract:

    The Charge Trapping properties of ultrathin HfO/sub 2/ in MOS capacitors during constant voltage stress have been investigated. The effects of stress voltage, substrate type, annealing temperature, and gate electrode are presented in this letter. It is shown that the generation of interface-trap density under constant-voltage stress is much more significant for samples with Pt gate electrodes than that with Al gates. The Trapping-induced flatband shift in HfO/sub 2/ with Al gates increases monotonically with injection fluence for p-type Si substrates, while it shows a turnaround phenomenon for n-type Si substrates due to the shift of the Charge centroid. The Trapping-induced flatband shift is nearly independent of stress voltage for p-type substrates, while it increases dramatically with stress voltage for n-type Si substrates due to two competing mechanisms. The trap density can be reduced by increasing the annealing temperature from 500/spl deg/C to 600/spl deg/C. The typical Trapping probability for JVD HfO/sub 2/ is similar to that for ALD HfO/sub 2/.
