  • Abstract
    This paper presents experimental evidence of severe chemical reactions between physical-vapor-deposited (PVD) HfO2 and the underlying SiO2 interfacial layer, resulting in undesired trapping problems. In contrast, it will also show that HfO2 does not react with SiN. Correspondingly, MOS capacitors made with HfO2/SiN as the dielectric stack exhibit no trapping related problems at all. It should be noted that, the term SiN in this paper actually means SiON where the oxygen is unintentionally incorporated.
