摘要
The electrical properties of MOS capacitors with thin high permittivity ZrO2 gate stacks were investigated. The frequency dispersion in the capacitance voltage characteristics, polarity dependence of the current through the gate stack and the generation of traps during constant gate voltage stress of capacitors were studied. The thickness of the SiON interfacial layers and high permittivity layer was measured using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the current voltage characteristics of MOS capacitors are polarity dependent.
