摘要
We observed two paramagnetic defects in thin films of HfO2 on silicon with electron spin resonance. Both appear after photoinjecting electrons into the dielectric. Strong spectroscopic evidence links one spectrum to an O-2(-) defect. A second spectrum is likely due to an Hf+3 related defect. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
