  • Abstract
    In this work, three kinds of voltage stress, constant, unipolar, and bipolar voltage stresses are used to analyze the MIM capacitor with Al2O3/ HfO2/ Al2O3 structure. The relative variations of capacitance and voltage linearity show the greatest change by the bipolar voltage stress. The main cause of the variation of the capacitor parameters is due to the charge trapping during both the positive and negative bias regions.
