Abstract

The electrical properties of microwave plasma deposited high dielectric constant (high-k) ZrO2 films on rf-sputtered polycrystalline ZnO films on n-Si have been studied. Capacitance-voltage (C-V), conductance-voltage (G-V) and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) structures consisting of high-k ZrO2/n-Si have been measured. The fixed oxide charge density (Qf/q) and interface state density (Dit) are found to be 3.3 × 1011 cm-2 and 1.3 × 1012 cm-2 eV-1, respectively. Charge trapping behaviour has also been studied under Fowler-Nordheim (FN) constant current stressing.
