Abstract :
In this paper, we extract the gate work function of metal/High-K stacks (WFM) with an internal photoemission (IPE) based method and a C(V) characterization method. We attempt to apply both of them on the same specially designed samples. We show that it leads to a better reliability of WFM and highlights new phenomena.
