  • Abstract
    The reliability characteristics of CeO2 thin films were studied. During stressing, stress-induced leakage current and charge trapping are dominant at low field and high field, respectively. The trap capture cross-sections are extracted to be around 5.7×10-19 cm2 and 3.5×10-14 cm2 in the event of “stressing” and “breakdown”, respectively.
