Abstract

The physical and electrical properties of HfO2/HfSi xOy stacked gate dielectrics with EOT of 2.8 nm deposited directly on Si heterolayer were investigated. The electrical properties in terms of capacitance-voltage, conductance-voltage, hysteresis, current density-electric field and shift in gate voltage under constant current stress were studied using a metal-oxide-semiconductor structure. Chemical analysis of the interfacial layer using SIMS and AES depth profile revealed that the interfacial layer is a silicate-like compound. Results show a lower charge trapping property under constant current stress for the HfO2 along with interfacial layer.
