  • Abstract
    In this paper, we have characterized the RF performance of high-k Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and AlTiO/sub x/ capacitors and compared with SiO/sub 2/. We have found that significant k reduction occurs in high-k dielectric and SiO/sub 2/ at high frequencies and is strong material dependent. This may be a limitation of high-k dielectric. The relatively large shot noise in gate dielectric is strongly dependent on material and sensitive to defect generation after stress.
