Abstract :
Electron mobilities of W/HfO2 stacks were found to increase monotonically with annealing temperature with little (peak) or no degradation (1 MV/cm) when compared to poly-Si devices using conventional oxides. For stacks annealed at high temperature charge pumping curves indicate low interface states densities of ∼5 × 1010 charges/cm2. Mobility enhancement can also be attributed to a structural change in the HfO2 gate stack rather than due to only interfacial layer re-growth.
