Abstract
In contrast to the case of silicon dioxide films, evolution of the gate voltage during constant current stress for Ta2O5 films grown on silicon exhibits an additional decreasing region. This decrease can be explained by the thickness lowering of the thin silicon dioxide layer adjacent do the silicon substrate, as concluded from the increase of the capacity in accumulation.
