Abstract
HfY Ox gate dielectric has been deposited on strained- Si/ Si0.8 Ge0.2 by radio frequency cosputtering of Hf O 2/Y2 O3 targets. Compositional, chemical, and electrical properties have been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, capacitance-voltage (C-V), and current-voltage measurements. O1s spectra shows a minimum defect due to M (Hf or Y)-OH and the bandgap was found ∼4.9±0.05 eV. The measured Δ VFB and hysteresis in high frequency C-V characteristics are used to study the pre-existing traps in the dielectric. Trapping kinetics as a function of stress time of (Au,Pt,Ni) /HfY Ox /strained-Si/ Si0.8 Ge0.2 have been investigated under low field (∼1.6 MV/cm) from Δ VFB and Δ Gpeak.
