Abstract
The electrical and optical reliability characteristics of a Pt/HfO2 gate stack have been investigated. Incorporating deuterium and hydrogen treatment during post-metallization annealing is employed to improve both the electrical and optical reliability of the Pt/HfO2 gate stack. For comparison, deuterium-treated technology provides slightly better reliability improvement on both the electrical and optical reliability of Pt/HfO2 gate stack devices.
